Lindsay Aked (1930-2010). Raised in country New South Wales and received tuition as a vocalist and keyboard player from an early age. He was encouraged to develop skills in improvisation and keyboard harmony which were the basis of his later development as a composer. During the war years a number of his compositions were broadcast nationally, and on completion of his secondary schooling he was awarded a scholarship for training as a specialist music teacher in secondary schools. He completed his DipTMus at the State Conservatorium of Music and Sydney Teachers' College in 1950 Oberg), he has produced a number of works covering various stages of development in recorder playing. Some of these are included in current AMEB syllabuses.

Lindsay Aked's style of composition remains essentially melodic and clearly structured. He aims at producing music which is a suitable challenge to particular stages of development, but is enjoyable both for performer and listener. His music has been described as reminiscent of Elgar, Vaughan Williams and other English composers (he regards this as a compliment rather than a criticism).
