Meet Gavin, who has been studying Classical Music (Tuba) for the past three years at the Junior Conservatoire. Gavin starts his day with us on a Saturday at 9am, and has a jam-packed timetable of one-to-one lessons, rehearsals, ensemble playing and performance classes.

Last chamber choir rehearsal in the Ledger Recital Room before the Choral Showcase over at the New Auditorium in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
At my performance class where students perform in front of each other. This is a great opportunity to play in an informal setting and receive written feedback from professional musicians and verbal feedback from other students.
Practising with the Wind Orchestra in the huge Stevenson Hall (largest professional venue within the Renfrew Street building).
Just met the horn lecturer, Kenneth Blackwood, in the corridor and he congratulated me on my recent playing in the performance class.
45 minute one-to-one lesson with Tony Swainson where we worked on repertoire for upcoming auditions.
Here with the Brass Quintet group that I am part of, led by trumpet lecturer Hedley Benson.
