Timothy Barratt studied on a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, winning many major awards, and completed his studies with Vlado Perlemuter in Paris and Geoffrey Parsons.
He has toured and broadcast extensively in the UK and abroad as soloist, accompanist and chamber music player.
Whilst still a student, he developed a special interest in song accompaniment through playing for Masterclasses at Aldeburgh, subsequently partnering such artists as Dame Felicity Lott and Robert White.
Teaching forms a major part of his musical life and he works with pupils of all ages and levels from beginner to post-graduate.
He was Head of Keyboard at Dulwich College for almost 25 years whilst also teaching at the RAM and TCM, and he pursues a busy freelance career.
An ABRSM examiner since 1991, he is also a trainer, moderator and mentor.
Other work for the Associated Board includes selecting the graded piano examination pieces and presenting educational seminars.
He frequently directs masterclasses for performers and teachers' workshops in the UK and the Far East, and is much in demand as a competition and festival adjudicator.
