David divides his time equally between performing, arranging and writing music. As a composer, writing for children and young people to perform is his main field of interest. In his job as Musical Director for Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud Youth Theatre, there have been opportunities to write shows and have them performed by young, talented and artistically critical performers in front of large paying audiences - a useful writing process! The following musicals have been published and are now regularly performed by schools and youth theatre companies in the UK and throughout the world:
