Hello and welcome…
Whether you have journeyed here in search of a teacher, mentor, piano accompanist, composer, arranger, writer, or researcher, it’s a joy to welcome you to the David Barton Music website.
My mission is to create and facilitate an environment where you have the opportunity to grow, and to experience all that music offers, no matter where you are on that journey, and no matter how you engage with music.
Catalogue of Compositions & Arrangements
A large catalogue of works is available representing over 100 of my published pieces. Works are available for voice, choir, organ, piano, woodwind and chamber ensemble. Full details, including sheet music and audio samples are available where possible.
Flute, Piano & Singing Lessons
Here in Lichfield, Staffordshire, I offer a range of simple and flexible options to help students learn, all of which centre around creativity and imagination. Lessons can provide a gateway to a whole range of musical experiences, hours of enjoyment, and a lifetime’s fulfilment.
