After a difficult time through the pandemic, or for any other reason, maybe your chops have changed, practice has become stale, or other issues have come up and you would like to reset and refresh your routine.

I can certainly help. A one-off Zoom, Skype or Facetime consultation can be very productive in creating a way forward immediately and we can arrange follow-ups, or more regular sessions, if you would like.

Testimonials

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.

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.

Steve Stewart, Soprano Cornet Supremo

Paul Cosh is the only person I would go to with technical or performance issues. He is a great teacher.

Paul Denegri, former Head of Brass, Wells Cathedral School

Lessons from Paul Cosh are an enlightening experience for both students and staff. His care and attention to individual needs is so refreshing and his approach to students of all ages is engaging, informative and reaps rewards long after his visit is over.
