Marilynne J R Davies

BA, M.Ed, LRAM, Cert. Ed, PGCA, FRSA

Welsh Eisteddfodau provided Marilynne Davies with her early
experiences of performance on piano, cello and singing in all its forms.
Since then she has continued as a performer, teacher and conductor and
was until recently Head of the School of Performance at the College of
Ripon and York St.John - a post that embraced Music, Dance, Drama,
Film and Television.

She now has a busy freelance career as an adjudicator at national and
international festivals, as a voice consultant, teacher and conductor and
as a leader of a variety of workshops.

She has sung with professional orchestras including the London Mozart
Players and has conducted choirs for BBC and ITV - the largest being a
choir of 1100 school children. Her experience in teaching ranges from
nursery to post-graduate levels and has involved classroom and individual
teaching as well as being external examiner and assessor in performance
for a number of universities at the graduate and postgraduate level.

When not performing or listening to music, she enjoys collecting English
enamel snuff boxes (for interest, not for use!) and walking (the softies
type of walking - coastal paths and contour walks).

Marilynne Davies is an adjudicator member of the British and
International Federation of Festivals.
