Music Composition Studio

David Lothamer


David Lothamer is currently pursuing his Bachelor's degree in music composition. He began taking piano lessons at the age of 10, shortly after moving from Reston, Virginia to Nashville, Tennessee. During high school he became involved with various choirs and other performing groups. Formerly a piano performance major at Saint Louis University, David has since transferred to the University of Tennessee. In Fall of 2005, he began his study of composition with Dr. Jacobs. His interests include all kinds of music ranging from classical to popular and especially film scores. David's music has been influenced by several composers, particularly Poulenc, Debussy, Messiaen, and Stravinsky. He is currently a member of the UT Singers jazz choir.
