He is greatly experienced as an accompanist in both piano and harpsichord, having worked with both nationally and internationally renowned singers and given Master Classes in accompaniment.

Between 1972 and 2007 he was the regular accompanist for Cantamus, having appeared with the choir on television and broadcast with it on many occasions.

Michael's arrangements are eminently singable. Although not a trained singer, through his work with Cantamus he understands what lies comfortably and gratefully in the various voices. In addition, by the use of various textures, he gives each part in a choir its share of the melodic material and interest.

His searching for colour and flavour within a conventional harmonic idiom - with the addition of some unexpected nuances - makes his arrangements greatly appealing to audiences.
