Gillian Dibden
In November 2002, Gillian Dibden was awarded the Sainsbury's
'Choir Director of the Year' title, recognising both the
success of the Berkshire Young Musicians Trust choirs
over a long period and her contribution to music education
over the last 40 years. Her Youth, Girls' and Boys' Choirs
all achieved success at national and international levels.
Through her professional training at the Royal College
of Music, Gillian developed her own instrumental skills
as a principal study pianist and second study 'cellist,
performing regularly with the RCM orchestra. However,
on entering the teaching profession in 1962, it became
apparent that her natural talent was in working with choirs.
Gillian works as a freelance choral specialist. She runs
courses for teachers and leads workshops for choirs around
the UK and loves working with children, young people and
adults. She has set up new choirs for young people from
South Bucks and Berkshire near her home in Taplow, and
has also been appointed Academic Executive of the Montgomery-Holloway
Music Trust.
