He entered the Royal College of Music in 1893, where he studied composition under Sir Charles Stanford. He subsequently taught at Eton College and at the R.C.M. He first made his name as a composer of chamber music, and later he turned his, attention more to the orchestra. He wrote the music for two ballets and also composed some light operas, including the successful Tantiey Towers. His educational output, particularly for the piano, was quite extensive. His studies and pieces are never lacking in musical interest, and they still prove to be popular and useful among teachers today.FIRST YEAR PIECES 1 Melody in C THOMAS F.
