Scales at Six (2018)

This piece was written for Plum, Sam and Josie Lomax after a number of happy years teaching Josie violin, and both children occasionally some theory. The Lomax family were generous enough to support my composition study by way of commissioning a piano trio. I taught Josie on Tuesdays at six o'clock, and we would normally start with scales, except when we were feeling especially anarchic. This little piece is about scales and simplicity, about growing up, and about remembering those days.
