John-Paul Bowman

John-Paul Bowman studied Composition as a mature student at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, graduating in July 2013. A versatile composer, John-Paul enjoys writing works for both instrumental and vocal forces for professional and amateur musicians alike. He has been commissioned to write music for concert, theatre, liturgical and film and his music has been performed by a wide range of performers, from school children through to members of the Aurora Orchestra and EXAUDI, in the UK, Europe and New Zealand.

John-Paul’s enterprise is focusing on music education, specifically around the teaching of composition in schools. The project is currently in a research and development phase with the aim of designing a series of workshops to deliver in schools to GCSE and A-level students in support of the composition element of their exams.
