About Des

With a background in composition, with degrees from 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.

In addition to my University experience, I have taught under-18s at Junior Trinity-Laban College of Music, Aldebugh Youth Music (AYM), and currently teach at Junior Royal Academy of Music.

My dedication to music education has led me to share my expertise at institutions like Brunel University and the Academy of Contemporary Music (where I've delved into the realms of music technology and contemporary pop music genres, and film music).
