Simon Carr-Minns
Experienced Vocal and Musical Director
About
I am a highly experienced vocal and musical director with a proven ability in liaising with directors, producers and everyone involved in a production in both rehearsal and performance situations. I am trained in the piano to a high level of ability and also play keyboards, basic church organ, and have an interest in piano tuning and research into British popular music. I also write my own music and arrange music for orchestral and band backing tracks.
Most of my work is on a freelance basis and I'm looking for suitable opportunities to supplement my income. I have excellent customer skills having worked in people facing roles for most of my career including hospitality and retail service roles. I can be available for an immediate start and look forward to discussing this further at an interview.
