Graduated from the University of Huddersfield with a 1st class honours degree, majoring in composition and performance. Was also awarded the J. Wood and Sons Prize for Composition.
Interested in a number of different areas within composition, but mainly the role of the performer (and indeterminacy), choral writing and the role of `traditional` harmony within contemporary music.
Plans on studying for an MA in Composition and 20th Century Performance at Huddersfield starting in 2006.
