Robert Latham is an honours graduate of the University of Wales. After taking a Certificate in Education at Bristol University he stayed in the South West and quickly gained a fine reputation for his music teaching both in and out of the classroom. His school choirs were regularly invited by the BBC to feature in both TV and Radio programmes, while he was also much sought after as a conductor of adult choral, operatic, and instrumental groups in the city of Bristol. He taught in The Bristol Academy of Performing Arts which specialises in the training of students for the Musical Theatre and directed the national award-winning Bristol Schools' Chamber Choir from 1993–2008.
