Jane is Professor of harpsichord at the Royal College of Music, where she teaches in both the senior and junior departments, and an associate of Southampton University and Dartington College of Arts. She is also an Honorary Fellow of Dartington College of Arts, and an Honorary Member of the Royal College of Music . Jane received a British Council Scholarship to study with Ton Koopman at the Sweelinck Conservatory, and an Elm Grant from Dartington Hall Trust. She was awarded the intercollegiate Raymond Russell Harpsichord Prize whilst studying at the RCM, and received an Allmusic Award for her innovative approach to music.
As well as performing, recording and publishing, she has worked extensively in the field of education. Through her work she aims to inspire a wide and diverse audience with an interest and knowledge of baroque and new music, and to encourage participation through composition and performance. She has examined at the Guildhall School of Music, the Royal College of Music, and Goldsmiths College, and has given lectures at various universities including Keele and City on subjects such as Baroque Music and Approaches to Improvisation, the Bauyn Manuscript and 17th century French Harpsichord Repertoire, Contemporary Music and the Harpsichord. She was musician in residence (with Kate Ryder) at Goldsmiths College, and is also collaborating with the Sonic Art Research Unit at Oxford Brookes University, and on the Intimate Handling project at the Royal College of Music.
As well as pre-concert talks, she has taken part in many educational workshops for organisations such as the BMIC in London, and has been on a selection panel for the SPNM. Workshops and competitions for composers have included the Bangor Festival, and the NWNMP Harpsichordfest in Manchester. Jane has also been featured at Dartington Summer School, giving baroque and contemporary performances as well as masterclasses, and has taken part in various BBC radio broadcasts talking about the harpsichord and its history. Further afield she has worked with young composers and harpsichordists at UNAM Mexico City, and UC Berkeley (USA).
Jane was invited to give a presentation about her work (Harpsichord as cultural icon? A microcosm of creativity and reinvention) at Goldsmiths College London, to launch the Centre for Contemporary Music Cultures (CCMC). She is currently a consultant for the ABRSM, and recently adjudicated for the Moeck International Recorder Competition.
