1st lesson FREE

Hiya, nice to e-meet you! I am a professional teacher, trumpeter and conductor who graduated from the Royal College of Music (2022) and The University of Edinburgh (2018), both with First class degrees. In 2024, I won the Third prize & Special prize at the Ionel Perlea International Conducting Competition. In the past years, I have worked with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Czech Chamber Philharmonic, Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic among others. I’ve also worked with Sir Thomas Allen, Sir Antonio Pappano, Maxim Vengerov, Martyn Brabbins, Jac van Steen, and Ryan Bancroft. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to study and learn from many fantastic teachers from around the globe. Sharing all these experiences and the different approaches brings me great joy and that’s why I love teaching people like yourself. I’d love to hear about you, your experiences and goals so I can help you be the best musician you can be and have lots of fun with music! Have a lovely day, Ondrej
