3rd Cornet -
Jen has been playing the cornet since she was eight, and was a member of the St.Helens
Youth Brass Band for nine years. She is a little rusty as of late as she has been
at university and has not practiced in the three years she was there.
Jen has just
finished her degree in English Literature from the University of Sheffield. She
is finding it very strange no longer being a student as that is all she has ever
known!
Jen enjoys live music and tries to go to see bands at least once a month. She attends
the V Festival every year.
Repiano Cornet -
Clare started life as a brass player playing the trumpet at the age of eight in Primary School. After seeing the light she turned her abilities to the Cornet playing in St. Helens Youth Brass Band.
Studying under the instruction of Lynda Nicholson and being educated at De La Salle School, Clare became involved in music at all levels, including Bands, Orchestras and choirs. After formal education Clare moved on to Carmel College studying Music Tech, Spanish and Computing.
She is presently studying Creative Music Technology at Huddersfield University and is looking into a career in music teaching.
When Clare isn’t doing something ‘musical’ she enjoys socialising (drinking beer), travelling and skiing!!
