Tim Curd

My name is Tim and I live in Colchester which is the oldest recorded town in England. I live with my wife and two cats who get up to lots of mischief (the cats that is). I teach musical instruments in schools and colleges and and I have many successful students and ex-students. I play trumpet in a function band and regularly play at parties, weddings and festivals etc. http://www.thefunktionjunction.co.uk/ . I also like to arrange and compose music for various ensembles and I have many pieces published. http://www.scoreexchange.com/profiles/TimCurd
