Michael Rose graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 1953 with piano and
violin as principal studies. This was followed by three years' military
service in the Regimental Band of the Scots Guards. Then came 6 years as Head
of Music at John Lyon School, Harrow, followed by 6 years as a Music Adviser,
firstly to Middlesex County Council, then to two London Boroughs. During
these years he won the Clements Memorial Prize for a String Quartet, and
began his conducting career with choirs and orchestras, which led in 1966-67
to an Apprentice Conductor's position with the BBC Northern Orchestra (now
the BBC Philharmonic). From 1968, he worked for the BBC as Assistant in
Charge of their Training Orchestra in Bristol, frequently conducting their
public and recorded concerts, including two Proms in 1970. In 1972, he
returned to the world of music education, as Music Adviser in Bedfordshire,
where he was able not only to build an expert instrumental teaching team, but
to develop the orchestral, band, choral and operatic opportunities for young
musicians. It was also during this time that he was Chairman of the National
Association of Youth Orchestra, for fifteen years. For many years he assisted
George Hurst on the Conducting Course at Canford Summer School of Music. He
took early retirement in 1990 to devote time to study, composition,
conducting and examining, and for the Associated Board has examined in
Malaysia, New Zealand, Oman, Africa, Sweden, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and
Singapore. He tutors a number of aspiring conductors and carries out special
sessions in conducting for teachers and young people. He is leader of the
Olney Conducting Workshops, a series of one-day and weekend courses which
began in 2005. Much of his music for young players has been published by the
Associated Board, and has appeared in the examination syllabuses. Other
music, both choral and orchestral, has been published by OUP, Novello and
others. He has continued as Conductor of the Bedfordshire County Youth
Orchestra, with whom he has toured to France, Cyprus, Germany, Russia, Spain,
Hungary, the Czech Republic and Italy. He was awarded the OBE in 1990, for
services to music.
