Saxophonist

Annabelle is a virtuous performer specialising on Soprano, Alto and Baritone. - its nothing personal towards the Tenor.

She loves to play with extremes and has experience in performing on both Soprinino and Bass Saxophone too.

Researcher and Educator

Where are the other disabled musicians? A question Annabelle often thought about as she came to the end of her undergraduate degree. About to step into the real world, she couldn't see herself reflected in the musicians we all know and love. So she seeks to find answers and solutions to the lack of representation. With the focus on bringing an audience to body diverse performers through changing perceptions and developing music education for disabled students.
