Hi, I’m David Knight - copyist, composer and educator

I have worked extensively in writing , orchestration and score preparation for a wide variety of Films, TV shows and Games, and compose and arrange a large amount of concert music.
I play saxophone and piano, and dabble in many other instruments.

I am a classically-trained composer from Wiltshire, U.K. I studied with Richard Barnard in my youth, and subsequently with Julian Philips at Guildhall school of Music in London, where I studied for my Bachelors degree in Composition.

In my 20s I spent five years as Composer-in-Residence at Wycombe Abbey School Changzhou, in China, where I worked closely with pupils and the school ensembles to arrange and compose new exciting works for the school and the wider community to enjoy. After returning to the UK with my family to the UK, I have worked in both mainstream and independent schools. Since September 2026 I have been working as Head of Music at New College Worcester, a residential school for blind and vision impaired students.
