Grace Turner ARSM is a classically trained pianist celebrated for her expressive touch and musical sensitivity. Music has always been a central part of her life, leading her to formal study and the achievement of her ARSM diploma and first-class BMus honours. Over the years, Grace has developed a broad repertoire, ranging from classical masterpieces to contemporary pieces, jazz standards, and popular requests. Her training in classical piano forms the foundation of her playing, but her curiosity and open-minded approach have led her to explore and perform across a wide variety of musical styles. Grace is an experienced and adaptable performer, equally confident as a soloist, chamber musician, and collaborator.

Grace Turner recently accompanied my Singing Schools annual charity concert. She played over 30 pieces of different genres with ease and professionalism. Most of the performers were children. Grace talked through each piece with the children to check speed and cuts. She totally put the children at ease. I would highly recommend Grace as an accompanist for any event. She will be asked back next year to do the event again. Rhianydd Beaumont Director of Beaumont Music Academy www.beaumontmusicacademy.co.uk

Grace came to my father's house to play a number of pieces on the piano and clarinet. This was for Douglas's 102nd birthday. Douglas still plays the piano at his great age and is very interested in music. Grace selected a variety of classical and contemporary pieces that blended together very well and were performed with a high degree of sensitivity and skill. Everyone there agreed it was a perfect performance and we were so happy that she came. A really great musician that we would highly recommend - Janet and Craig Watson
