About Duncan Lorien
Duncan Lorien is a well known composer,
recording artist and educator, who spends his life helping others
benefit from his research and discoveries about learning music quickly
and easily. Born in 1954 in London, England, he studied classical piano
from the age of 4 years, and was Deputy Head chorister at the
Royal School of Church Music at Addington Palace in London. He studied
drama and music in college and trained in opera and theater for 3
years.
At teacher training college he found the
approach to music was serious and complex and left to begin his own
approach to the subject. The 20 years he spent researching music
history and education resulted in the Understanding of Music Seminar™delivered worldwide since 1991. The Understanding of
Songwriting Seminar™for graduates of the
Understanding of Music Seminar™ was introduced in
1998 and Understanding the Basics of Singing Seminar™.
He has worked as a recording artist,
songwriter and producer with BMG Publishing, EMI Records, Polygram, PRT
Records, Chappell, Carlin, Intersong, Ocean Disque and ARC Records. His
publishing and recording deals resulted in the successful albums with
guitarist Martin Daley; "Architects of Time" and "Dreams of the Yes
Men." Both albums were playlisted on top radio stations and reached
number one in the U.K. new age charts, charting above albums by Enya,
Yanni, Rick Wakeman, Tangerine Dream and Andy Summers of The Police.
The first album "Architects of Time," number one in 1989, was still in
the top six new age charting albums in 1992, three years later! "Dreams
of the Yes Men," released in 1992, went to number one the first week of
its release. Duncan writes and performs many musical styles including
rock, jazz, blues and classical and recently released a new solo
instrumental album "One Life at a time."
