Creativity in the Air : October 2026

A life becomes a journey; a journey becomes a story; a story becomes music.

About Charles M Lines

Charles M Lines trained as a musician and studied composition with Alan Bullard and Philip Cannon at the Colchester School of Music during the early 1980s. He joined the UK Civil Service in 1984 where he worked for various government departments, eventually specialising in management consultancy, training and development. In 1996 he became a Senior Lecturer at the UK Civil Service College.

At the age of 41 he left the Civil Service to work as an independent management consultant and trainer. He has since been in demand both at home and abroad, providing management consultancy and training events to a very wide range of clients.

In addition to composing, he speaks and writes regularly about creative problem solving and how music's creative principles and practices can help us all be more creative in our approach to life and work.
