David Goodenough

I am a classically-trained (Guildhall School of Music, London) Music graduate with 30+ years experience as a professional Organist, Pianist, Continuo Player, Choral Director, Accompanist and Teacher. I have held professional posts in several UK Cathedrals and Greater Parish Churches and I am currently Organist and Director of Music at ‘Scotland’s most prominent church building’ - St John’s Episcopal Church, Princes Street, Edinburgh. I have been privileged to play for HM the Queen and the Royal Family on several occasions, and my many hundreds of wedding services also include the Royal Wedding held in Edinburgh in 2011. I was Director of Music at Fettes College, Edinburgh, for twenty-four years from 1998-2022 and I am also an Examiner for ABRSM. I have extensive, wide-ranging freelance experience as an accompanist, as both pianist and organist, for instrumentalists and singers. I have given solo recitals on four continents and my UK concerts have included solo recitals in Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, as well as many of the provincial cathedrals. I have recorded the complete Trio Sonatas and the Orgelbuchlein of J S Bach on the Octavin label. I can provide live music, and I also have a studio where I can pre-record bespoke selections of music on both piano and organ to use in venues which might not have instruments in situ.
