    Born in London to professional, touring musicians, our musical director and founder Jane Reeves has always had music in her life. She started learning the piano when she was seven years old and by the time she reached 14 she was studying at Grade 7. She also reached a respectable standard playing the clarinet, French horn and cello and later gained accreditation as a registered ABRSM piano teacher.

    At 16 she was performing in professional musicals, as well as penning her own soul, jazz and dance music, and gigging UK clubs and venues. Drawn to the bright lights of the big city, as a young woman she moved to central London and served time with various professional bands and a capella groups, an apprenticeship which furnished her with a solid grounding in musicianship and professional practice.
