About Des
With a background in composition, including studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Royal Academy of Music, and a PhD from Oxford University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every lesson. My professional experience extends to collaborations with renowned ensembles such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Chineke!, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and the Bach Choir, among others.
I also share my insights as a tutor at Oxford University, where I teach undergraduate composition. I have taught a range of students from beginner to doctoral/PhD level.
My dedication to music education has led me to share my expertise at institutions like Brunel University, AYM Albebugh Youth Music, and the Academy of Contemporary Music, (where I've delved into the realms of music technology and contemporary pop music genres, and film music).
