About Peter

Hello!  I am Dr Peter Falconer, and I want to help you live a more creative life!  

Teaching is a passion for me, particularly when we get the chance to break down our ideas about music and creativity, and really unlock your potential.

I am originally from Hartlepool, Co. Durham, but have lived in London and Surrey since 2002.  I have a PhD in Music Composition from the University of Southampton, and am an active composer and music producer, writing for soloists and ensembles across the UK, US and Europe, being performed on BBC Radio 3. 


I have been creating music in one form or another for nearly 40 years, and currently lecture at both the University of Southampton and Goldsmiths, University of London.   I also regularly perform live on piano, drums, electronics, vocals, and Northumbrian smallpipes, with which I appeared on Series 2 of "Outsiders" (Dave) with Phil Wang, Fatiha El-Ghorri and David Mitchell.  


For several years I was also the vocalist and lyricist for acclaimed prog-metal band Drifting Sun.   When not making and teaching music, I am a writer, podcaster, horror film nut, and butler to my cat, Bootsy Collins.

Whatever subject I am teaching, my approach is always relaxed and student-centred, looking at what you've been working on - or having trouble with - that week.  


When you hit a problem, my job is to explain what's happening and help you work out a solution, in terms that make sense to you - there's no pressure to learn "THE CORRECT WAY" of doing things, whatever that is!



For beginner composition students, we might look at a piece or a song that you enjoy, and work out how it's put together, giving you a framework on which you can build your own compositions.   Or we might dive straight into sound-making, not worrying about "notes" or "theory", and seeing how different sounds can create different effects, and how we can arrange them to create a piece. 


For more advanced students, we might look at a piece you are already working on, and see how you might develop it further, or arrange it more effectively.  We may also do some composition exercises/games to help you get around a creative block and find a new approach.
