Christopher was recently awarded a Master of Music in Composition and Composition for Screen degree from the Royal College of Music.  The programme was 2 years long and involved a combination of composition for film and contemporary concert music.  During this time Christopher also set up and ran the Royal College of Music Laptop Orchestra which performed twice in 2010 and will continue after he leaves.

(On a personal note) -

“To have completed the masters course is a tremendous honour and above all else I feel a much greater confidence in the music that I write.  The excellent performers I’ve met and the huge amount of experience I’ve acquired over the past two years will will hopefully continue to fuel my passion for composing both on and off the screen.”

“To aspiring students:

Getting your place on a course or your first animation job can be stressful.  Studying the art of writing music for the stage or screen is not only difficult but incredibly competitive.  This is precisely what makes a composition degree at a conservatoire like RCM so intensely rewarding. Challenge others, and more importantly, challenge yourselves.”
