His compositions also include a number of extended and more serious works. Recently he has made a major contribution to the English National Curriculum. He is an examiner for the Associated Board and adjudicates at music festivals and various national competitions. In addition he has undertaken research into specialist music education for the highly talented - an interest that has taken him to many musical institutions around the world.

Music Through Time is another well-established series and this volume should prove a very useful addition to it . . . There is a good variety of music here; the 'Fantastical Micro Variations' on a theme by Mozart should bring entertainment all round, transforming the theme from the first movement of the Clarinet Concerto into, among others, a can-can, a valse, a tango and a beguine.
