Quintoot About Us

Tim hails from Suffolk originally but has lived in Aberdeen for the past eight years. Bassoon is not Tim’s
only musical talent. He regularly accompanies on piano at the North East Scotland School of Music. The rest of the time he can be found in the English department at the University of Aberdeen where he is a teaching fellow.

Jennifer completed a degree in Chemistry at the University of Aberdeen in 2002 but went back for more in 2003 and since then has been studying for her PhD. Not content with playing clarinet, she has recently taken up piano under the instruction of our very own Miss Debbie Haig.

Our oboist, Debbie, has previously studied at the Royal Northern College of Music but has more recently completed a degree in Pharmacology at the University of Aberdeen. September will see her take up a full time position as an instrumental instructor with Aberdeen City Council.

Our flautist Kay is the baby of the group and is due to begin studies in Psychology at the University of Aberdeen in September. Her final year at school ended on a high note when she was awarded the title of ‘Cults Academy Musician of the Year’.

Currently in her third year of a music degree at the University of Aberdeen, Joanne also teaches part-time at the Music Zone in Stonehaven. Our super saxophonist is also a blinding bassoon player.
