Mike Rowlands is well known on the circuit as an inventive and flexible player and arranger
"From very early days I knew I wanted to be a musician, I realised that I had ears that other people didn't have.
I discovered from singing in church choirs that I was unusual in hearing harmonies and note relationships, which helped my reading and imagination at the time and is the core to my musical thinking to this day
Singing is the beginning of all music and I always encourage students to spend some time singing every time they practise their instrument”
