Projects: Clements Theory

E-learning for ABRSM Grade 5 Theory

Clements Theory is the leading e-learning resource for ABRSM Grade 5 Theory. Co-founder Tim Benjamin has written a comprehensive set of Grade 5 Theory study guides which are used on the website, and he also designed and edited many of the questions.

ClementsTheory.com offers comprehensive study guides and e-learning tools combine to make studying for ABRSM Grade 5 Theory a fun and empowering experience.

Why "Clements"?

David Clements was a much-loved teacher of brass and music theory at Christ's Hospital school, in Horsham, Sussex. Many of his students went on to very successful musical careers, and some of them (including Tim Benjamin) decided to build an e-learning music theory website. Mr Clements was such a great teacher that we decided to name the site in his honour - hence Clements Theory.

Projects: Radius

Radius - founded by Tim Benjamin - specialise in the performance of new music from around the world written by living composers, together with works by 20th-century masters. The ensemble is comprised of outstanding young international concert artists, and aims to showcase their individual talent both as soloists and together, performing new music to the highest possible standard. Critically acclaimed by the national and musical press, Radius have appeared at London's Wigmore Hall and Southbank Centre, at festivals including the 2007 London Design Festival, and have given the first performances of more than ten new works.

Projects: Kauppe

Kauppe is Tim Benjamin's alter ego, or "act", when it comes to electronic music. While he's always liked fiddling with synthesizers, tone generators, sequencers and the like, it's only very recently that Tim has decided to get composing in earnest in the medium, and also to think about gigging. So, armed with Ableton Live and some analog / virtual analog synths, he's done just this.

Kauppe can also be found / followed on Soundcloud and followed on Twitter.

Projects: Back to Back Opera

Back to Back Opera is a touring opera project that has grown out of Radius. We produce "back to back" modern chamber operas (or "music theatre" works) in a "double bill" format.

Back to Back Opera combines performance with education work in secondary schools / sixth-form colleges. For example, our first double bill (Poulenc: La Voix Humaine / Tim Benjamin: Le Gâteau d'Anniversaire) is offered alongside workshops in French, Drama, and Composition / Performance. For more information on Back to Back Opera productions, please contact Tim Benjamin.
