About Patrick
I studied piano at the Royal College of Music, and composition at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, the Royal Danish Academy of Music, and the University of Cambridge. I’ve taught undergraduate composition at Cambridge and given lectures at King’s College London and Queen’s University Belfast. My music has been performed by leading orchestras and ensembles across the UK and Europe, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, London Sinfonietta, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Ulster Orchestra, Slovenian Philharmonic, and the Zurich Chamber Singers. I’ve been honoured with several awards, including the RPS Composition Prize, the King’s College/Hartley Rogers CBSO Scholarship in Orchestral Composition, and the John Clementi Collard Fellowship. I’ve also had the privilege of representing Ireland at ISCM World Music Days.

My teaching style is very pragmatic. Just show me the kind of music you’re excited about writing, and I’ll help you develop the skills and techniques you need to bring your ideas to life. Lessons are usually an hour long, but I’m happy to offer 90-minute sessions if you'd prefer a bit more time. I earned my PhD from Cambridge University, where I also taught composition for several years. I enjoy working with musicians of all ages and levels of experience, although some familiarity with music notation is essential.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Patrick is a composer of the highest calibre with an international track record of fantastic compositions performed by some of the best musicians in the world. He brings a wealth of practical experience to his teachings along with expert theoretical knowledge and a deep passion for music.
Any student lucky enough to work with Patrick will experience his warmth, humour, kindness and openness to all kinds of musical approaches, combined with clear guidance, enthusiasm and commitment to help.
As a performer who has worked with Patrick over the years, and composer colleague, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Patrick is one of the most talented and creative musicians (both as composer and pianist) whom I have ever known. He as both an instinctive and informed understanding of music of many styles, and will certainly give students food for thought to help encourage and challenge them.
I invited Patrick to teach at Queen’s University Belfast and couldn’t have been happier. I observed his class and would say that he is an excellent lecturer who has a deep knowledge of his field. He explained concepts in a most approachable and easily understood manner.
Highly recommended!View more recommendations
