Emily

Hi, my name is Emily and I am a Trumpet Graduate of the Royal College of Music, having received a 1st class honours degree in Trumpet Performance.

I have an up to date DBS check and public liability insurance and I`m qualified to teach Trumpet, Cornet, Flugel etc.

I started playing Cornet at the age of 8 in the Forest of Dean and grew up playing in local brass bands, becoming Principal Cornet of the A.W. Parker (Drybrook) Band before moving on to the Assistant Principal Cornet position with Lydbrook Band.
I`ve been involved with many youth groups (Gloucestershire Youth Brass Band, National Youth Brass Band, National Youth Wind Ensemble) as both a player and a tutor. At the age of 16 I was awarded a music scholarship to study at Wells Cathedral School in Somerset, where I took up playing the trumpet.

During my time at Wells I was awarded the prestigious Keith Nutland Memorial Award at the Cheltenham Competitive Music Festival and the Margaret Rose Bursary in the Forest of Dean.

Having had a very successful two years at Wells Cathedral School, I earned scholarships to the Royal College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Welsh College of Music. I accepted a place at the Royal College of Music in London to do my BMus (hons) degree in Trumpet Performance was taught by Alistair Mackie and Jason Evans.

I am a freelance Music and Instrument teacher as well as teaching for London Youth Conservatoire. I am also an Army Reserve musician with the Honourable Artillery Company Band, based in Central London.

Availability: Flexible - differs week to week depending on work and concert commitments.

Willing to travel: 3 miles

Experience: I have been teaching both adults and children for many years now, having had my first pupil at the age of 14.

I am currently the appointed the Trumpet teacher at Music`All School of music in Parsons Green.

I have experience with online tutoring, and find it a very useful resource if traveling is not possible.

Over the years I have volunteered at local brass bands helping tutor young children to bring them through the ranks and have been teaching ever since, gaining more pupils of a wider range of ages and abilities.
