Hewson is a British composer of scores for television and films. Hewson
began composing at the age of 11, influenced by his primary school music
education, which had been based entirely on the Schulwerk. This
influence stayed with David and shaped a lot of his much later music.
During his time in primary school, he also started to receive piano
lessons from the renowned classical concert pianist and teacher
Christine Gough. In his late teens he studied composition with Professor
Richard Arnell, a former pupil of John Ireland at Trinity College of
Music, London, and enrolled in a part time courses on electronic music
with Tristram Cary at the Royal College of Music. After gaining his B.Ed
(Hon) he taught music for six years, and during this time built up a
large repertoire of compositions, for chamber solo and instrumental
combinations including vocal music.
