Testimonials
Kevin Smith, Musical Director, Verwood Concert Brass
Paul’s workshop was hugely enlightening and enjoyable. His explanation and demonstration of good breathing, posture and articulation are now constantly being used by myself and the bands in our rehearsals and performances. For all four bands that attended, from Championship level to Community Band, everyone took away many positives.
James Fountain, Principal Trumpet, The London Symphony Orchestra
Paul Cosh is the best teacher I’ve ever worked with and I owe him so much. He has the answer to any issue and his advice was invaluable when I switched from cornet to trumpet. I will always go to him if I need to discuss playing issues.
Claire Colebourn, 1st Horn with Championship Section Band
Paul’s breadth and depth of experience make him a highly effective tutor for all players at any level. He empowers players to improve; by giving them the tools they need to take control of their own progress. Time spent with Paul will make such a difference to your sound and technique.
Kate Moore, Principal Trumpet, BBC Concert Orchestra
Paul Cosh is a terrific teacher. He has the ability to see a student’s needs, musically, physically, and most importantly, mentally. Good straightforward advice from Paul has helped me on many occasions throughout my career. No gimmicks, no smoke and mirrors, just fantastic teaching.
