Millan Sachania

Millan Sachania FRSA is a British music scholar, editor and educator.

Sachania graduated with double first-class honours and subsequently completed a doctorate in musicology at Christ's College, Cambridge.[1]

He edited a five-volume collection of Leopold Godowsky’s arrangements and original music for the New York publisher Carl Fischer between 2001 and 2004,[2] the essays in which draw upon and expand his The Arrangements of Leopold Godowsky: An Aesthetic, Historical and Analytical Study,[3] one of the first critical studies on Godowsky’s corpus of arrangements.

Sachania has published widely, including articles on music aesthetics,[4] new editions (with historical and editorial commentaries) of Poulenc’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano[5] and Sonata for Oboe and Piano,[6] Poulenc's Three Novelettes for Piano,[7] Stravinsky's Les Noces (in associate editorship with Margarita Mazo),[8] Stravinsky's 1919 version of Les Noces,[9] Stravinsky's Les Roi d’étoiles,[10] Stravinsky's Renard,[11] Sir Malcolm Arnold's Fifth Symphony,[12] and thirteen volumes of Otakar Ševčík's Violin Studies.[13] He was also editorial co-ordinator for Peters Edition's new Chopin edition. Sachania has frequently expressed his views on educational topics in the letter columns of British national newspapers.[14]

As an educator and schoolmaster, Sachania has worked extensively in the independent sector since 1999, and is on record as a critic of British state schools.[15] He is also an advocate of promoting traditional skills, not much encountered in modern pedagogy, such as précis-writing.[16] In June 2011, the Council of the Girls' Day School Trust, the UK's biggest educational charity,[17] announced Sachania’s appointment as Head Master of Streatham & Clapham High School in south London from January 2012; this follows his tenure since 2007 as Deputy Head Master of Immanuel College, an HMC school in north London, where he was formerly director of the sixth form.
