Philip retired from full-time teaching in 1997, after more than twenty-five years in the secondary school sector, initially in Cornwall and then in Devon, and where he was especially involved in the use, and development of electronic keyboards in the class room. Opposite is the music room at Coombe Dean School, in Elburton, Plymouth, where Philip was Head of Music from 1984 - 1997. Now through his compositions and arrangements, he still maintains an involvement in school music-making, as this recent excerpt from Harrow Public School's magazine, The Harrovian, shows.
