Tricia Moores is a Huddersfield based conductor, composer,arranger, music teacher and multi-instrumentalist.  Concentrating on conducting in recent years, she was trained by professional conductors Robery Guy, Eduardo Portal and Mark Heron.  Her taste in music is eclectic, ranging from pre-renaissance to the very contemporary.

Tricia was born in Cheshire and enjoyed a musical start in life with a mother who had a love of opera and who played music on the radio constantly.  Many of Tricia's formative memories come with a soundtrack attached.  Tricia learned to play recorder in her primary school recorder choir, upgrading to oboe at secondary school and playing in the Vale Royal Schools Orchestra.  Moving to Nottingham to study maths and physics at university, Tricia continued to play oboe in the university wind orchestra.

Remaining in Nottingham after university, and putting musical performance on the back burner, Tricia married in her mid 20's and raised a family of two sons, subsequently embarking upon a varied career in local government IT technical support, systems design and management, project management and child protection.  In her mid 30's, Tricia resumed performance on oboe and saxophone in several non-professional orchestras, concert bands and a professional dance band.  Grasping the opportunity for voluntary redundancy over ten years ago, Tricia set up as a freelance musician and teacher, working both privately and in schools.  Tricia moved to Huddersfield in 2015 to complete her BA (hons.) in music (Huddersfield University) and MA in composition (Sheffield).

Tricia is currently completing her PhD in Huddersfield while retaining a little conducting, private instrumental and university undergraduate theory teaching.  She plays French horn in the Huddersfield University wind orchestra, a concert band in Barnsley and an orchestra in Birmingham.  Until recently she played bass guitar in a rock band.  When not engaged in musical activities, Tricia is fond of bird watching, reading, walking, wild camping and referring to herself in the third person.
