John K Miles

Composer

Music

I had great teachers at Trinity [Laban], Including Daryl Runswick and John Thomas. Both had a knack of being constructive about anything I brought to them! I also valued the academic component, under the watchful eye of Claire Nelson, which whilst challenging, without doubt changed the synapse connections in my brain!
