About William

William’s passion for inspiring youngsters and providing an unparalleled music education led to him holding the post of Director of Music at The Royal Hospital School in Suffolk between 2012-2019. He was responsible for a dynamic music department that undertook in excess of 80 concerts and services per year. These ranged from informal lunchtime concerts to those which attracted audiences of 800+ paying members of the public. Recent highlights have been working with the BBC Big Band, the Swingle Singers, National Youth Choir of Great Britain and forming partnerships with HM Royal Marines Training Band and Royal College of Organists. In addition, William has directed a number of highly successful ensembles including the Holbrook Choral Society; highlights included conducting The Dream of Geronitus by Elgar with 250 singers. He directed the Chapel Choir at The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at The Royal Albert Hall in the presence of the royal family, which was broadcast live on BBC radio and television. He established the Sing Up Suffolk event which involved 800 primary school children annually to the school with the primary aim of making singing fun and accessible. Other conducting activities include his directorship of the Prometheus Consort, a choir that regularly leads the worship at St Paul’s Cathedral when the resident choir are on holiday.

During his time at the Royal Hospital School he taught all aspects of the Edexcel GCSE and A Level music courses. He also established Music Technology A Level course. He has a 100% A*-C result record.

About the lesson

Testimonials from colleagues and former students say it all -

“If you’re looking for an all-rounder – accompanist, choral conductor, artistic director, project manager or recitalist – you get the full package with William! I’ve greatly enjoyed working on many and varied different projects with him.” Ben Parry, Artistic Director of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain

“I have William to thank for introducing me to liturgical music, which quickly became a passion in no small part because of the opportunities that he gave me. As an organ teacher, William has a superb knowledge of the organ repertoire and provided excellent stylistic and technical advice. It was also a joy to learn from him through his own outstanding performances.” Nicholas Freestone, Acting Director of Music at Worcester Cathedral

“I have sung in lots of different choirs, but never have I enjoyed singing so much than when Mr Saunders is conducting. Every rehearsal is full of fun!” Ollie, chorister

“William really does tick all the boxes as an animateur and educator! With his excellent communication skills, natural rapport with the young, awareness of youth culture, superlative administration – not to overlook, of course, his virtuosic and arresting organ playing – he has rightly gained an enviable reputation in the field of organ education and outreach!” – Daniel Moult, Head of Organ Studies at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire
