She is lucky to have travelled the globe in her role as examiner for ABRSM hearing musicians of all levels and ages. Supervised by Rebekah Ahrendt, Clare is a PhD candidate at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, where her thesis examines 18th century connections between gender and instrumental tone through a case study of the travelling virtuosa Marianne Davies.
