Philippa Richardson

Philippa’s interest in music began at primary school. She took instrumental lessons in flute and vocal tuition at the early age of 7 and quickly became involved in choirs, orchestras, solo performing and ensemble work under the direction of her various music teachers. Aged 10, Philippa extended her studies to include piano and achieved two music scholarships.
At secondary school level, Philippa quickly achieved her ABRSM grade 5 theory exam, and continued her studies up to grade 6 piano and grade 8 in both singing and flute. She obtained all her grades at Merit or Distinction level.
