In addition to being a sought-after freelance percussionist, Christine Barron has written over 400 compositions to date, including music for film, television and radio.
Christine’s award-winning tutor books for Boosey & Hawkes – Learn As You Play Drums and Learn As You Play Tuned Percussion & Timpani – continue to attract praise from the percussion world and have been described by Evelyn Glennie as "a wonderful contribution to percussion education".
As the sole percussion adjudicator for the British and International Federation of Festivals for Music, Dance and Speech, Christine is highly experienced in presenting workshops for children, students, teachers and amateur musicians. She is happy to focus her sessions on group and individual performance, instrumental and classroom teaching, or even the rarer art of composition for percussion.
