His professional musical career began in 1975 with his appointment as co-principal horn with the Central Band of the Royal Air Force at RAF Uxbridge. However, in 1979 he left the Royal Air Force to undertake a new appointment as Company Director of a family business, which also enabled him to develop a new career as a freelance orchestral horn player.
Following a posting to Royal Air Force Cranwell in 1999, he joined the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment as principal horn, and in 2003 was also appointed to the new role of Public Relations and Marketing Manager for the Royal Air Force Music Services. Upon retirement from the Royal Air Force in 2006, Malcolm Goodman was appointed to his current position as Music School Manager at Uppingham School in Rutland, where he is also manager of the school's new £3.5m 'Paul David Music School'. In this role he has organised a concert tour of Hong Kong and China for the Chapel Choir (with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra) in 2007, and the Symphony Orchestra tour to France in 2008, and in July 2009 took the Chapel Choir on a concert tour of Europe, with performances at the cathedrals in Brussels and Cologne. In July 2011 he took the Chapel Choir on a concert tour to New York, and in 2013 will take the Symphony Orchestra and Chapel Choir to Spain. In support of the further development of best practice in music schools, in 2011 he also established the Music School Administrators' Forum (see links below) for music school staff around the country
Alongside his professional career in music, Malcolm Goodman continues to be involved with the local community in various voluntary roles... As one of the founding charity trustees of the National Association of Youth Orchestras he undertook the role of Honorary Course Administrator for the Anglo-German Youth Music Week for 20 years - until it was superceded by the European Youth Music Week in 1999. During the 1980's he was a Special Constable for the Nottinghamshire Constabulary, and also served as a member of the Consumer Standards Advisory Council for the British Standards Institute and an advisor to the BBC Watchdog programme.
He is founder and Director of the Lincolnshire Chamber Orchestra, established in 2003 to provide professional musical support to various choral societies in the region. His charity work continued with the establishment in 2004 of the Royal Air Force Music Charitable Trust, a new service charity promoting welfare funding through the performance of live music by Royal Air Force musicians. Working closely with the broadcast media he has also undertaken the role of deputy presenter for the 'Music Link' programme on BBC Radio Lincolnshire, and in 2006 was appointed to the BBC Regional Audience Council on a 3-year advisory position to the BBC Trust. Local community activities continued in 2010 with a 12 month appointment to the Sleaford and District Twinning Association - twinned with Lille (Marquette-lez-Lille) and Berlin (Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf), and the appointment as a charity trustee for the Sleaford Concert Band for whom he is currently organising a tour to Paris in 2013. In addition to being the original webmaster for the National Association of Youth Orchestras and the Royal Air Force Music Services in the first days of the internet, he continues to provide web design support for the Royal Air Force Music Charitable Trust and various individual musicians, including his brother, orchestral conductor Roy Goodman.
