Richard (Tutor)

 Cello (instructor)

I am a Graduate and Post-Graduate of The Royal Northern College of Music.

Availability: Any time by appointment.

Experience: Whilst at the RNCM I studied with eminent cellists Marius May, Antonio Lysy and Eduardo Vassallo, taking masterclasses with Steven Iserliss, Bruno Shrecker, The Allegri String Quartet, The Alberni Quartet, Nash Ensemble etc. I have over 20 years experience as a performer and teacher. As a performer I have worked with many of the UK leading orchestras and have extensive West End experience where I was the solo cellist on Les Miserables for some 11 years. I was a member of the Banks Piano Trio and Amici Quartet and went on to perform with The Shirley Thompson Ensemble. I have made many TV and Radio appearances and have performed premieres of cello works by popular composers on The South Bank. More recently I have acted as Associate Conductor on the West End production of Les Miserables and currently Musical Director of The Showbiz Pops Orchestra.
I have extensive teaching experience born out of many years within the State, Private and Specialist Music School systems and have undertaken the ABRSM Examiner training.

I give an initial free 30 minute consultation lesson to serious enquirers. Lessons are then £18 for 30 minutes or £35 for an hour.
