With four full time members of staff, compositional research ranks high amongst the School’s strengths, and covers a large range of styles, genres and approaches, including instrumental and vocal music, electroacoustic and acousmatic music, and music for film. Each composer has earned national and international recognition, with their various areas of expertise feeding through directly into the teaching of composition.

Compositional research is also supported through the Parry Williams Visiting Composer Fellowships and research into the development of software tools for electroacoustic music composition and performance.
