Ida Carroll
Ida Gertrude Carroll (1 December 1905 – 9 September 1995) was a British music educator, university administrator, double bassist, and composer. From 1956 to 1972 she was President of the Northern School of Music, and she played a central role in overseeing the merger of that school with the Royal Manchester College of Music to found the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) in 1973. She was the first Dean of Management of the RNCM from 1973 to 1976. As a composer she wrote several works for the double bass which have become a part of the standard repertoire for that instrument. In 1964 she was awarded an OBE. Provided by Wikipedia-
