Many of Trinity’s teaching staff are researchers, with interests ranging from exploring eighteenth-century European music to understanding musicians’ memories. Students often study alongside Trinity staff, researching topics related to staff expertise and creating support networks with common interests."At Trinity I have the wonderful opportunity to both work in a stimulating environment and to carry on my various professional commissions. I’m also able to provide professional contact with the new music world for my students through mentoring and being part of the rehearsal process. It is a creative college where the collaboration between Trinity and Laban provides endless stimulus for research and sparks new ways of working and developing as a composer.”Deirdre Gribbin, Senior Fellow in Composition
