Whether for local organisations (such as Adult Education programmes at Keele and Manchester Universities, Burns Nights, or HF Holidays), international bodies (including the American Musicological Society, Wagner at the Millennium, Adelaide, Australia), or national music conferences (such as those organised by the Royal Musicological Association), Susan's presentations are engaging, enlightening, and tailored specifically to meet the needs of each audience.

Following her undergraduate studies at the Royal Northern College of Music, Susan completed her Ph.D. at the University of Manchester. As a result of her postgraduate Master of Education degree, she co-authored a chapter in Teacher Music Differently (ISBN 9781138691988).

Susan's talks incorporate a blend of visual and audio elements, complemented by notes for participants to take away. Audience engagement is often encouraged to enrich the experience. Her genuine passion for music consistently brings enthusiasm and energy to her presentations.

She has a talent for communicating information in a friendly, informal, and accessible manner, ensuring that audiences of all levels of musical knowledge and appreciation leave with valuable insights to enhance their musical understanding.

Audience feedback: As now 'musical' people we feel our limited knowledge has been truly enhanced.
