Teaching

Aside from his performing interests, James is dedicated to broadening the appeal of the oboe and encouraging young people to start learning the instrument. To this end, he has begun an education and outreach project called ‘The Young Person’s Guide to the Oboe’. Launching in 2012, this initiative will see James tour numerous schools in the UK to promote the oboe and its repertoire. This will be accompanied by the launch of a new website LearnToPlayTheOboe.com.

Private Tuition

James is very passionate about teaching the oboe and currently teaches at Whitgift and Elmhurst Schools in Croydon. He also teaches private students throughout the London area and is available for group coaching and masterclasses.

Workshops and Outreach projects

James has experience in leading workshops and various outreach projects through his experience with the Worshipful Company of Musicians, the London Philharmonic Orchestra Future Firsts scheme and also the Southbank Sinfonia. He has led workshops for groups both at primary and secondary school level.
