About this user

I've been singing for as long as I can remember! My parents met in a music group and we've always sung together as a family. My two sisters and I love singing trios and duets together - we've been singing three-part harmonies since before my younger sister could say the words! I have a passion for folksongs, but I also love to sing classical songs, songs from musicals and a variety of contemporary stuff :) I also enjoy listening to an even broader range of styles.

I've been playing the piano since I was 7 years old. I did my Royal Schools grade 8 exam during High School. I used to play only from sheet music, but I am now teaching myself to play from chords as well. Playing the piano is one of the things I do to relax and feel connected to God.

I particularly enjoy accompanying myself when I sing, but I also love singing unaccompanied and pretty much any other way! I can also play the violin (achieved Trinity grade 6 in High School), but I never practiced as much as I should have :) and don't really play anymore. I am planning on learning to play the guitar, and I'd love to play the harp someday!

There are so many more songs I'd like to share, but the whole videoing and uploading process takes time.

Some of the songs I'd like to record:
Galway Bay
Erin Beo (Lynn Hilary)
Carrickfergus
Perfect Day (Miriam Stockley - from Peter Rabbit)
The Prayer (Charlotte Church, Josh Groban)
The Water is Wide
Green the Whole Year Round (Celtic Woman)
Isle of Inisfree
May it be (Lord of the Rings)
The Parting Glass
Send me a song (Celtic Woman)
Dalmation Cradle Song
The Lark in the Clear Air
The Turtle Dove
She's like the Swallow
The Oak and the Ash
I will give my love an apple
Lone Shanakyle
Weep you no more sad fountains (from Sense and Sensibility)
Dark Iniseoghain
Never saw blue (Hayley Westenra)
Lift the Wings (Riverdance)
Black is the Colour
You brought me up
Hope has a place (Enya)
Only time (Enya)

My heart is confident in you, O God, no wonder I can sing your praises!
Wake up, my soul! Wake up, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn with my song.
I will thank you, O Lord, in front of all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations.
For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine all over the earth.

Microphone: RodeNT1
Piano: Fritz Kuhla, circa 1940
