THE TEACHER.

Teachers are so important aren't they? They can destroy a person's interest in a subject, or they can ignite a passion for learning, and a hunger for discovery.

Callum owes his love of music to his early teachers, and has ever since wanted to impart the love of music he gained from his teachers on to future generations.

Having had teachers who crippled him emotionally and destroyed his confidence, to having teachers that nurtured him, and raised and supported his self belief so that he could rise to the challenges of the music industry; Callum has real understanding of effective and ineffective teaching.

Callum's mantra is honesty with a smile. Living by this, he has found students become more self aware as they perform, and have an increased ability to practice in an intelligent and focussed manner. This leads to confidence and improved self esteem when performing.

An alumnus of Trinity College of Music in London, Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium and The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Denmark, Callum is currently a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the Peck School of the Arts In the United States.

Callum has a rich pool of education experience to draw upon, as well as professional performance experience including performing with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, and 9 years spent in the British Military including as a Principal Tubist with the Band of the Coldstream Guards, and tubist with the Central Band the Royal Air Force.
