Biography

Adam Ockelford is Director of the Applied Music Research Centre at the University of Roehampton in London.

He has written over 20 books and regularly lectures all over the world. His TED talk with the musical savant Derek Paravicini (with whom he has worked for 35 years), 'In the Key of Genius', can be found at www.ted.com.
