Pete Churchill

Pianist, composer and arranger. Born in London in 1961. He has been a Professor of Jazz studies at the Guildhall since 1988 where his harmony classes have become legendary and where he directs and writes for the vocal ensemble. He is also a member of the faculty at the Royal Academy of Music where he teaches jazz composition and has recently concluded a long spell as a Senior Lecturer in Jazz Studies at Middlesex University where amongst other things he ran the large gospel choir. Although he is obviously well known as a teacher Pete also manages a hectic freelance career both as a writer and as a performer - being equally well known as a jazz-pianist and a singer.
