Joe Graves

Joe began learning the piano at the age of eight with his father and through being exposed to a home music studio soon became interested in composition. He joined St. Mary le Tower choir where he attained his Bishops Chorister Award which then lead onto becoming Head Chorister. He also took up Organ lessons at the tower.

At fourteen Joe attended Framlingham College boarding school. The premises are fantastic and he would like to thank his Father and Grandparents for their support, and also the following charities who supported him financially while at Framlingham:

- Annie Tranmer Charitable Trust
- BMTA Educational & Welfare Trust Ltd
- The Buttle Trust
- Hope House and Gippeswyk Educational Trust
- The Mercers' Company
- Royal Wanstead Foundation
- The Thornton Smith & Plevins Young People's Trusts
- Framlingham College also supported with funding

In 2003 Joe gained a place at Trinity College of Music, London and studied composition under John Ashton Thomas who has worked in many areas of the profession and now orchestrates Hollywood film scores.

In 2010 Joe travelled through South East Asia, Fiji, New Zealand and while in Los Angeles had an amazing opportunity to work at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions film music studios. Joe now works as a music teaching assistant at Brighton College.
