Composer interviews/How tos
Our Music Education consultant Duncan Mackrill interviewed the four professional composers we commissioned for the South Downs Songbook:
Shirley J. Thompson, Ed Hughes, Rowland Sutherland, and Evelyn Ficarra.
Each composer talks about their backgrounds in composing and song writing, and gives some useful hints and tips on getting started with composing projects.
