After gaining a music scholarship at Uppingham School and a music degree from Newcastle University, Clare joined BBC Music.  There she worked with all of her heroes at the BBC Symphony Orchestra and The Proms winding up as a TV presenter for programmes like BBC Young Musician of the Year and The Proms.

In 2005, whilst on maternity leave, Clare decided to pursue a new venture. She already had a love of working with children and music having previously been a singer at Disneyland Paris.  Her lightbulb moment came when she saw how much her son loved it when she played the violin, clarinet and piano to him. Without delay, she got her anti-natal group and her instruments together with a piano accompanist. And just like that, Mini Mozart was born. Through Mini Mozart, Clare has been able to combine her true passions of music, children and communication.

As an owner and leader of a small business, Clare has been instrumental in creating jobs, economic and educational opportunities to the communities that she serves.
