Squire

William Henry Squire (1871-1963) was a British cellist, composer, and influential music professor. Born in Ross-on-Wye, he began his musical journey early, encouraged by his musically gifted family. He studied cello at the Royal College of Music and became a professor there and at the Guildhall School of Music.

Squire's legacy lies not only in his performances and compositions but also in his dedication to music education. He championed the cello as a solo instrument and left a lasting impact on cello pedagogy through his widely used educational pieces. His contributions helped shape the landscape of cello playing and teaching in the early 20th century.
