Roger Moon has been a Benslow tutor since 1999. At his workshops and courses many singers and instrumentalists have surprised themselves, leaving with greatly enhanced confidence in their abilities.
He showed great musical promise from a very early age, inheriting from both his parents a love of many kinds of music; including vocal, choral, lighter classics, 1930s dance band, jazz, and stage and film musicals. He studied jazz piano under Peter Ind, classical piano under Iain Ledingham (RAM), and sang and studied under the world-renowned choral conductor (and late Benslow president) Stephen Wilkinson. He took First Class Honours in a degree course in Performing Arts.
Roger has played in many performances and recordings, in venues such as Abbey Road Studios, Theatre Royal, Margate, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, Chichester Festival Theatre, BBC Broadcasting House, Bath Abbey, Wells Cathedral and the Holywell Music Room, Oxford, with some of the most respected members of the music and entertainment profession, including John Dankworth, Cleo Laine, Petula Clark and Guy Barker.
Roger has made a speciality of the popular music of the earlier twentieth century. For a spell he played appropriate music with Miriam Kramer (violin) in the restored Art Deco splendour of Claridges Hotel, London.
