Hi, my name is Robert! I am a conductor, singer, composer and teacher based in London. I started learning piano when I was 3 years old and studied at Junior Guildhall until the age of 8. I then sang as a chorister in the choir of New College, Oxford, where I also began to play the cello. During my teens, I reached grade 8 at the piano and cello, and achieved a Diploma in singing performance. At the University of Manchester, I began to study conducting, eventually directing the University chamber choir, Ad Solem, before graduating with first class honours. During this time I also sang in the Genesis Sixteen choral program, which offered intensive training for elite young choral singers led by The Sixteen. I have been teaching singing, piano, cello and conducting privately ever since graduating, as well as directing several choirs and ensembles. I work frequently for the National Youth Choirs, London Youth Choirs, and Nottingham Youth Orchestra, and am currently employed as a teacher in the Royal College of Music Junior Department. I can offer singing and conducting tuition at all standards, and piano and cello up to grade 6.
