Films on which Malcolm has worked have been singled out for numerous honors including the Peabody Award, IDA Award, two prime-time Emmy nominations, a Chris award, and a Cine Golden Eagle award. In addition to writing music for film, Malcolm serves as composer and choir director for St. Peter's Episcopal Church, where his Kyrie Eleison and Sanctus are sung regularly during morning services. His collection of 30 communion pieces are under production for release in 2005. In France, Malcolm studied in Paris with Pierre Saka and collaborated with mandolinist Christophe Constantin on Donne Moi le Temps and singer-songwriter Francois Balanca on For Zou et Barbara. In the U.S., his folk song Go Down was recorded by Jack Hardy and Doug Waterman for the Greenwich Village Coop Collection. One of Malcolm's early works, House of Stone, has enjoyed regular performances since 1973. More recently, he composed vocal music for such artists as Sister Sun and Moving Violations, whose performance of I Got No Car was featured on NPR's Car Talk radio program. Research and Teaching Malcolm teaches and counsels private students in music. He has developed the Distance to Doh method of sight-reading based on his theory that professional musicians process written music in a way different from what is traditionally taught . Over the past few years, he has explored treating tone-deafness. Working with a voice student, he discovered that the difficulty lay not in pitch perception but in pitch retention and developed strategies to strengthen short-term memory of pitch and the ability to sing and match a pitch held in memory. Malcolm has also served as a judge for television's 2005 Emmy Awards. Educational Background Malcolm studied French at Columbia University, graduating Summa Cum Laud and Phi Beta Kappa. He also holds an MBA from the University of California at Berkeley. Publications Mistake on the Metro. The Northeast, November 2004. Once in a Great Institution.
