Goddard, Pat

Pat Goddard studied clarinet, piano and composition at the Royal Academy of Music from 1978 — 1982, winning many prizes and awards. Following a busy career as both a freelance musician and a peripatetic instrumental teacher throughout Oxfordshire, plus a unique spell in the Central Band of the Royal Air Force as one of the band’s first female players, Pat, along with husband Mark and burgeoning family, established Spartan Press in 1990. In 2018 the business was sold and Pat retrained firstly in musical theatre and more recently as a personal trainer.
