David Rice studied at the Universities of Cambridge and Birmingham, UK. He previously held director of music positions at the churches of St James, Cambridge and Holy Trinity, Sutton Coldfield. Most recently, he spent a year as acting assistant director of music at Coventry Cathedral, where he was the principal organist for four weekly choral services and special events such as the installation of a Bishop and a choir tour to Romania. For six years, David was head of choral music at Solihull School, where he taught music to pupils aged 8-18 and directed the 90-strong chapel choir program; this position allowed him the flexibility to teach in areas as diverse as outdoor education, maths and computer science.
