Rosie Bans - Greenwich

I began my music studies at North Glasgow College, Scotland in 2004 (specialising in Keyboards) at the tender age of 16. Here I studied under Ross Campbell (composer), Keith Burns (The Proclaimers), Ted McKenna (Sensational Alex Harvey Band) and Campbell Owens (Aztec Camera). I knew I wanted to be a musician even then and so once I passed my three-year HND course (winning the main year award for the first and third year) I progressed straight into year three at Napier University, Scotland, where I obtained a BA with Honours in Popular Music studying under Haftor Medboe, Graham Weir, Dr. Steven Davis-Moon, and Dr. Paul Ferguson. It was during this time at University that I began teaching, most notably as course co-ordinator for the Music Monkeys After School Club, and gigging more intensively which saw me spend the next year and a half in Edinburgh working as a full time musician, composer and tutor. During this time I played all round the UK and internationally in venues such as The MUSON Centre, Lagos, Nigeria; Kokkola Conservatory, Finland; Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland; The Bedford, London, and many more.

I relocated to London in the September of 2010 in order to pursue my music work further. Being in London has always been a dream of mine and I am very passionate and determined to succeed in my career. I like to incorporate this drive into my lessons and pass on my experience of the industry to each of my students. I am currently a resident piano player and singer in many London establishments including The Melia White House Hotel, Marylebone; Montague on the Gardens, Russell Square; The Criterion Restaurant, Piccadilly; The Millennium Gloucester, South Kensington and The Novotel, Hammersmith.

If you would like to come along to a performance to see, hear and meet myself, most shows are free entry and accept under 18’s.

A lot of exciting things are happening this year! I am releasing my debut album at the end of the year and embarking on a UK tour during summer. As well as this I have many current projects taking off in the year ahead such as ‘Mary of the High Seas’ a musical written by Joel Mason, for which I am co-writing the music, will see its first performance this summer in Scotland as well as the creation of Lovebox, an animation and music collaboration with Jeremy Warder coming into full production in summer.
