After a few years inteh railway service and six as a commercial traveller, Price adopted music as a career at the age of 34.

He published a pleasing cantata for children, entitled 'Little Wanderers,' and a more ambitious one for adults, 'The Prodigal Son' (1891). He was very popular as an adjudicator and as a conductor of singing festivals. In 1896 he was appointed visiting music-master in the new intermediate schools of Glamorgan)
