About the trainer

Dr Ed Jones presents an online session on financial planning for musicians, covering every stage of a musical career, from starting out and building a sustainable profession through to retirement planning and later-life financial security.

Before retraining as a Financial Adviser, Ed spent many years working as a professional musician, first in full-time employment and later as a self-employed freelancer. Music remains a central part of his life, and he continues to perform weekly as a choir director, organist, accompanist, and singer, as well as undertaking occasional recording projects.

He holds a Bachelor of Music degree with First Class Honours, a PhD in Choral Composition, and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists. A long-standing member of the Musicians’ Union, Ed has successfully combined his passion for music with a career in financial advice. He is affiliated with Quilter and advises clients across all stages of their financial journey.

As a regulated Financial Planning Consultant, he provides expert guidance on investments, insurance, pensions, mortgages, tax efficiency, and long-term financial planning, helping musicians make informed decisions and build a secure financial future.
