Since 1997 Janet has performed her one woman song/piano shows extensively throughout the UK and on two world cruises.
She plays and sings her own songs as well as those of the finest 20th/21st century songwriters.

Diploma in Education, Master Licensed Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).
Janet is also a composer, arranger and musical director. Trained as a classical pianist, singer and violinist, as a young child she was surrounded with sheet music which ranged from the popular musical to classical and opera. Aged 13 she was church organist and then studied under Michael Kruszynski, the Polish concert pianist.
Her love of jazz, theatre and popular music show in her performances of Rhapsody in Blue and other Gershwin songs and piano music which have become paramount in her professional work.
