New News Weekly Udate #2


This is the week starting Monday 31 October 2005

We are endeavouring and committing to keep this website as up to date as possible since BroughtonMusic, specifically Bill, at this point in time, is busy, once again doing, what he has done for quite some time and that is the business of music.

This week we thought we would just update you on all the things Bill has been involved with since moving to Australia.

At present he is a part-time lecturer at the Adelaide University Elder School of Music with large and small ensembles in the Jazz Studies area, along with composition/arranging, Introduction to Film Scoring, one to one tutoring on trombone and Brass Masters classes (Jazz and Classical).

To fill in the rest of his time, Bill accepts commissions (original compositions or arrangements) for every genre of music: Brass bands, Concert bands, Big Bands, Vocal, Orchestras and soloists.

As chronologically as we can here are some other points of interest:

2003: Commissioned works for Concert Band and Brass Band for Australia National Band Championships; Artist in Residence: Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, Victoria, Australia, Mr. Peter Chaplin (Music Director); Commission for Big Band on opening of Glenelg Jazz Festival, Adelaide, South Australia,
