About Tom
I’m a Senior Lecturer in Composition at Leeds Conservatoire, with over 15 years of teaching experience across conservatoire, university, and private studio settings. I work with composers at undergraduate, masters, and professional levels across concert music, media composition, and theatre.
I’m an Associate Member of the RNCM and a Guinness World Record-breaking composer. My work has been performed by leading ensembles across broadcast, concert, and theatre contexts, including the BBC Proms and many of the BBC performing groups.
My teaching is focused on developing your individual voice. I don’t impose stylistic limitations. Sessions are structured around your goals, whether you’re preparing a conservatoire portfolio, refining orchestration, developing media-scoring technique and production workflow, or shaping a large-scale work.
Lessons can cover composition technique and structure, orchestration and instrumentation, harmony and form, media composition and production workflow, portfolio and audition preparation, and professional development as a composer.
I teach serious beginners through to advanced and professional composers. Sessions are detailed, practical, and tailored to your level and ambitions. If you’re committed to developing your craft and would value structured, conservatoire-level guidance, I’d be pleased to work with you.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I studied with Tom for 3 years, and under his guidance went on to receive the Vaughan Williams Scholarship to help fund my Master’s degree. Comparing my work before and after studying with Tom, this would never have been possible without him. I can honestly say he has been the best composition teacher I've had, both on a personal level and in his teaching style.
I've been having Composition Lessons at Leeds Conservatoire for nearly 2 years with Tom and it's been really great and encouraging. He is always professional and manages to balance encouragement with focus and points to improve upon. It's just what I've needed these last two years and to Graduate.
