Since graduating from the Royal Northern College of Music, Richard Wright has pursued a highly varied career in both classical and popular music. As a performer, his work has encompassed everything from contemporary music groups such as the London Sinfonietta to membership of the critically acclaimed rock group Latin Quarter, best known for their 1985 hit Radio Africa. He has worked with musicians as diverse as composer John Adams and guitarist John Williams and appeared everywhere from New York’s Lincoln Center to the pyramid stage at the Glastonbury Festival.
Above all, Richard is an internationally recognised teacher of the classical guitar and its pedagogy, with a special interest in the problems of early learning. He designed and delivered a teacher-training course for guitarists in Venezuela and has lectured on guitar pedagogy in the United Kingdom, Holland, Germany and the United States. In 2004 the guitar was added to the roster of instruments taught at the Yehudi Menuhin School, and Richard became its first teacher.
