Stephen Dodgson (born March

composer.
Biography
From 1947 to 1949,
Dodgson studied at the Royal
College of Music, where he later taught composition.
In 1950, he visited
Italy on a
travelling scholarship, after which he taught in various schools and colleges
for a number of years. From 1957
he has broadcast regularly on BBC
Radio.
Dodgson has written music covering a number of genres, but he is perhaps best
known for his guitar
