New biog: rough draft

I need a new biog, as my existing standard one is... well, a bit too biographical, if you like, and not enough about my music. In particular, I need something to put on the Association of Canadian Women Composers site.
So far I ahve this:
"Kathryn Rose is a composer, pianist, organist, horn player and
serpentist who was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and now lives in
the UK.
Her lyrical choral music has been performed in the UK, Canada, the US,
the Netherlaands, Germany, and Singapore. She has a keen instinct for
singable, haunting melodies, and enjoys deceptive and interrupted
cadences. Her preference in choral composing is to emphasize the
words, and she frequently uses word painting and careful attention to
metre and word stress to achieve this.
Kathryn is currently studying for a PhD in contemporary sacred choral
composition with Paul Mealor at the University of Aberdeen. She is
passionate about accessibility and community inclusion in music at all
levels, and uses crowdfunding to make her choral music available
online."
Suggestions and comments welcome.
