Christopher Field has a lifetime’s experience of singing and teaching stretching back to 1953 when he was a chorister at the coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Later he won a choral exhibition to Trinity College, Cambridge, a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music and an Arts Council of Great Britain award for postgraduate study with Frederick Husler in Switzerland.

His subsequent career as a schoolmaster at Dulwich College was combined with work as a concert baritone, choral conducting, and teaching singing and double bass. For many years a number of his teaching works have been included in the graded examination syllabuses of the leading examination boards.

Christopher Field writes about from Dawn to Dusk: “These six little pieces for beginners, young and not so young, have been designed to help build… confidence in the left hand as it moves ‘crabwise’ across the strings in the first position. I hope that the titles will encourage you to play with imagination.”
