Clive Grant began learning the organ at Canterbury Cathedral, with Dr Alan Wicks, and as an undergraduate in Cambridge was Organ Scholar at the University Church of Great St Mary, continuing his studies with Gerald Gifford and Peter Hurford. After graduating he remained in Cambridge to continue his studies in organ, harpsichord, piano accompaniment and voice. During that time he attended master classes in London and Paris. As a recitalist he has performed at various Cambridge Colleges, Canterbury, Exeter, Ely and Llandaff cathedrals, as well as at venues in France, Belgium, Germany Italy and the Czech Republic. He is currently Head of Music and the Expressive Arts Faculty at St Bartholomew’s School, Newbury; an organist, choral trainer and until recently tutor in theory and musicianship for Berkshire Maestros. He is a Music Consultant with West Berkshire LEA, an examiner for Edexcel A-level Music Technology and a mentor for PGCE music students at Reading University. He regularly runs CPD workshops for teachers nationwide, focusing on the effective use of ICT in the music curriculum. He is also Chairman of the Neil Webster Music Trust, a local organisation that provides funding for the development of young singers and choral conductors. In 2006 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

I am currently able to work freelance covering services, and playing for weddings and funerals. I am happy to play continuo in baroque repertoire on harpsichord or organ. I would be happy to work in Berkshire, Wiltshire, South Oxfordshire and North Hants.
