Len Rhodes Music

Dictionary of Composers The remarkable composer directory compiled by Len Rhodes (his ongoing lifetime project!) lists over 5,100 composers (!) chronologically and alphabetically – nationalities are also identified. Hundreds of contemporary composers are included, saving you hours looking for similar information online or in other reference books. The book is a great way to establish composer anniversaries and festivals. Thank you to my fellow ISM composers for submitting their information. The Dictionary of Composers may be purchased through Len Rhodes Music at len-rhodes-music-inc.myshopify. com/admin/products/9693504323

YouTube Award for Stephen Wiles

Stephen Wiles, a teacher of music and computing in Sheffield, has been awarded a Silver YouTube Creator award for achieving more than 100k YouTube subscribers. His channel, MusicTheoryGuy, teaches aspiring musicians music theory. Stephen’s videos, viewed more than nine million times, can be found embedded into a number of leading websites and have been recommended by newspapers, online musician resource guides, printed GCSE guides and classroom teachers from across the globe. His most unexpected ‘thank you’ was from a prison rehabilitation course on the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts.

Responding to his award, Stephen said, ‘I am overjoyed to receive such a prestigious award from YouTube. It is extremely flattering that my videos, initially intended just for my own students, have now helped countless others around the world, to improve their understanding of music.’ stephenwiles.co.uk
