Stuart Phippen
After completing his Honours music degree and winning the Canon Jack Award for Piano Stuart
continued his post graduate studies at Trinity College London where he specialised in
accompanying, studying piano with Joseph Weingarten and harpsichord with Valda Aveling. On
completing his studies he was awarded the Alec Rowley Memorial Prize.
Returning to the West country Stuart built a career around teaching and performing.
Stuart’s experience and love of music is eclectic from playing cocktail piano, working with Jazz
ensembles, Big Bands, pit work for musicals, session work, répétiteur and performing at venues
from Wigmore Hall to Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo.
Accompanying has always played a large part in Stuart’s professional career which has been
rewarded by working with both top international musicians and some very talented young artists
through his work in schools.
