2. RCM, London: Umm...I aint too sure on this one. I personally wouldnt want to go here as they dont SEEM to know what they're doing, plus I dont think they have fantastic trumpet staff. They do have micheal laird though, I think.

Careful now Brian
Both Ian Balmain and Mark Bennett (great natural trumpet player) went to the RCM. BTW Andy Crowley is teaching there (I don't know how many of the pupils he gets) but he really knows what he's doing.

Just a few points I could add Brian
RCM teachers:
Paul Beniston (Principal LPO)
Andy Crowley (Principal London Brass)
Rod Franks (Principal LSO)
Also, a rather key institution you have failed to mention is the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Not only are there some fine trumpet teachers at the Guildhall, but many students particularly in recent years have gone on to very successfull freelance careers in London and the UK.
Guildhall Teachers:
Paul Beniston (Principal LPO, London Brass)
Paul Cosh (BBC SO)
Anne McAneny (LPO, London Brass, LSO Brass)
Stephen Keavy (Nat).
John Miller is now head of Brass at the RNCM, having left the Guildhall a few years back.
Birmingham Conservatoire:
John Holland (Principal CBSO)
Andy Culshaw (former Fine Arts Brass Ensemble)
Also, Dave Purser has just started as Head of Brass. Good stuff I would imagine. |

Hi Andy
Roddy is West of London (Welsh Wales in fact). I think he used to live in the Newport area. Not long on the train, maybe a 100 miles or so.

how about some jazzers? Seems like everyone is a symphony player or a classical soloist, and I would bet that's not the case. I know, I know Roddy.... you're the exception.

Hi
Sorry if this comes up twice, I posted a reply yesterday and it seems to have disappeared.
Steve Waterman teaches at the Academy and he has lead chops as well as being a great soloist.
Some years back Kenny Wheeler was to teach my brother on a jazz scholarship but but my brother got a gig and left college. He might still take pupils.
I hope this gives you somewhere to start.

Hey there --
I'll be moving to Leeds in about seven weeks, but I haven't set up any lessons or teachers there, so I was just looking for suggestions on the following:
1. What is the typical protocol in looking for a teacher outside of being in university and having your professor...
2. What should American female trumpet players expect when studying in England (I've heard certain rumors, and I guess I just want to hear what's for real)
3. What types of material/literature should be "automatic" to play when studying with someone in that area...
These are just a few things...I'm willing to go to Manchester if needed. I'm looking at auditioning at RNCM in the next year or so, but I'd like to see what I'm in for first.
Thanks,
Maureen Murphy

Hey fellas....got a UK question for you.....What kind of horns do the guys use over there (orchestral playing)? And, do they play a lot of Bb in the symphonies?
Got to play over in LSO's hall a few years back....was fun! |

Generally a bach ML or L bore Bb is considered the standard orchestral horn, but loads of different ones are used - the two principals of the London Symphony Orchestra, one uses a Xeno and the uses a Doc Severinsen Bel Canto I think.
The one college everyone forgot is the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Tutors include:
Paul Archibald (former principal BBC National Orchestra of Wales, London Sinfonietta, and Royal opera)
Phillipe Schartz (principal BBC NOW)
Andy Everton (associate princ BBC NOW)
Andy Stone-Fewings (princ RSC)
Steve Keavy (nat tpt)
visiting consultant is Andy Crowley (ECO, London Brass)
visiting artists in recent years have included: Derek Watkins, Tony Fisher, Alison Balsom, Canadian Brass, Onyx Brass, Ian Bousfield, Ronald Barron and Bobby Shew. |

Yo Mo!
I'm first generation Westerner, and pretty much everyone in the world I'm related to lives in that neck of the woods. Bradford, Huddersfield, etc. (My Auntie Mo lives in Linton) I get over there occasionally, and would love some more info once you've gotten settled and all. Drop me an email, if you think of it! Best of luck!

Hey Nick!
You're already on my good list, you said, "Yo Mo!"  Anyway, yeah, I'd love to chat sometime about the music scene in Yorkshire...maybe I ought to buy a cornet as well? I just graduated from North Texas (okay, as of two weeks from today) and am looking for a place to do more orchestral playing. Any info you can give me on playing over there or people to contact would be so awesome, I'd be indebted forever. Hopefully I'll catch you on sometime!
Have a good one,
Mo
P.S. Sorry for too many smilies...I'm a bit excited about the big swim and all... |

| If you're moving to Leeds you MUST, ABSOLUTELY MUST get a shepherds crook cornet and play in as good a brass band as you can. It will improve your playing 200%, I promise. And yes, we do mainly use Bachs over here, although things like Xenos are becoming more popular. You wont have any problems 'fitting in' to the trumpet scene over here - We are generally a lot more offensive in our language and manner than you americans, but we are the nicest guys in the world really! |

Sorry to revisit old ground but this thread could be out of date now! I'm looking for a good teacher in London and wonder if anyone can recommend someone suitable - I have played cornet / soprano in brass bands to a high standard but haven't played seriously for a year. I work in the City so Guildhall SoM is close - who's there? Also, any guidance on cost for private lessons?
Thanks
David |
