Christine Wells entered the Royal Academy of Music at the age of 16 principally to study cello with Douglas Cameron.

After two years of not practising the piano as a second study she switched to the organ studying with Douglas Hawkridge. Such was her enthusiasm for this instrument that she soon obtained the ARCO and FRCO diplomas as well as diplomas in cello. She later took an external B.Mus degree at Durham University and continued organ studies with Harold Darke at St. Michael's, Cornhill.

She was appointed organist at St. Mary the Virgin, Hambleden near Henley-on-Thames at the age of 20 - a post which she has held ever since! As a cellist she has given solo recitals and taken part in chamber music concerts throughout the country. She currently teaches cello at Wycombe High School.

As an organist she has given many recitals and is a past President of the Berkshire Organists' Association.
