Being a LMF Scholar is, to me, a way that helps me improve my instrument skills by playing with different people and also having fun at the same time.

What have you enjoyed the most about being a London Music Fund Scholar? 

My favourite part about being a LMF Scholar is the way that I can play my instrument without having to worry about paying for things like grade exams or the payment to go to my local music hub.

What are your musical goals for the future?

My musical goals for the future are to buy a baritone saxophone and learn how to play it since I have wanted to play it ever since I found out it was an actual thing.
