Tony Gilbert

I've just discovered that, sadly, Tony Gilbert, with whom I studied Composition in the early 1990s, has died.

Tony was an excellent teacher. He never invaded on a student's personal compositional style, concentrating on technique.

He's the second of my Composition teachers to pass away, the first being James Wishart some time ago.
