James

I am an award-winning professional composer based in central London. I have recently completed my PhD in composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where I also taught composition, music theory, and analysis. I hold a Masters Degree with Distinction from the Guildhall School, and I have also studied at King`s College London where I gained my Music degree with first class honours, the Purcell School of Music, and the Royal Academy of Music Junior Department. I currently teach Composition and Musicianship at the Royal College of Music Junior Department.

I have worked with many of the UK`s leading orchestras and ensembles, including the London Symphony Orchestra, City of London Sinfonia, Britten Sinfonia, and the BBC Singers.

I teach composition, music theory, piano, and violin. I am also able to offer tuition for GCSE and A-Level Music, as well as extra support for those applying to study music at a university or conservatoire.
