David’s musical life started as a choirboy at Truro Cathedral in Cornwall. After leaving school he studied at the Royal Academy of Music (1967 – 71) and Royal Holloway College (1971 – 4). His first job was as Director of Music at Tiffin Girls’ School in Kingston Upon Thames. Concerned at the basic lack of musicianship in children David explored ways of developing this. He went to Hungary for two years 1981 – 1983 to absorb the Kodály approach to music education. He returned to take up a position at the Purcell School later becoming its director of music until 1995. In 1987 he was awarded an ARAM for his services to music education. He and his wife Yuko set up the Kodály centre of London in 1992. He is currently a part time lecturer in Kodály musicianship and choral conducting at Trinity College of Music, and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. David also works for Colourstrings on Saturdays teaching children and has produced some 30 books and teaching aids. He has collaborated with Cyrilla Rowsell to produce a seven year programme of Kodaly- based music lessons published as ‘Jolly Music’. This workshop promises to be highly inspiring, starting with an introduction to the Kodaly concept; David will include rhythm work, cadences (with the A.B exams in mind), and some simple compositional work.
