Why are you called "Clements Theory"?

David Clements was a much-loved teacher of brass and music theory at Christ's Hospital school, in Horsham, Sussex. Many of his students went on to very successful musical careers, and some of them decided to build an e-learning music theory website. Mr Clements was such a great teacher that we decided to name the site in his honour - hence Clements Theory.
