Nigel studied at the Birmingham Conservatoire where he specialised in saxophone and clarinet performance. He was one of the first students to study the saxophone at the Conservatoire. After graduation, he became a saxophone teacher at the Conservatoire and helped to establish their exam syllabus for that instrument. He was a founder member of the group Saxtet and as part of the group, he was inspired to compose, arrange and later to publish new music for the saxophone resulting in the birth of Saxtet Publications.
