Richard

I have 28 years of experience as a trombonist and have played in various styles, including brass bands, big bands, and orchestras. Music has led some fantastic opportunities including, playing at the National Brass Band Championships, for the Olympic torch at the Nottingham Ice Arena and being part of a brass quintet that played at various events from weddings to County fairs.


My Journey into music began on the trumpet at the age of 8 moving to the trombone at 12, I was also part of a church choir for many years. Having always been involved with music, I have now moved into teaching professionally after my music degree from the University of Nottingham.
