Confident principal trumpet player accustomed to working in high pressure environment both in the UK and abroad. I have on numerous occasions played for royalty at Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and the Albert Hall alongside the London Symphonic Orchestra.

These are just a few of my professional experiences whilst serving as a military musician. Trusted team leader, experienced in motivating and developing junior members within the Corps of Army Music.

Since I have retired from the Military life I now teach at Rye St Antony School in Headington and I am also the Brass tutor for Brookes University. I also have over 30 pupils a week in and around the Oxford area. I am very experienced with the ABRSM and Trinity exam boards, practical and theory, aural, music technology, GCSE music syllabus. As a teacher I prepare and teach pupils towards these exams. I run brass quintets and brass groups allowing my pupils to experience ensemble playing and to meet like-minded people - Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Robert
IVAN BEST taught trumpet to my son between the ages of 10 and 12; throughout that time, he showed patience and imagination in his teaching. His enthusiasm helped him to move beyond the music lessons he was receiving at school, and to gain confidence by playing pieces which interested him. I would recommend Ivan to anyone wishing to expand their musical abilities, or those of other family members. Robert Hall BBCAfter several years of not playing, I wanted some refresh/starter lessons. I was very glad to find Ivan. He really knows his stuff and is a friendly, committed teacher. His lessons were very productive and well-judged, and he was extremely helpful, lending me books and sheet music. I'd highly recommend him. Denny
Ivan was principle trumpet player, teacher and mentor to me whilst I served in the army band. I had confidence issues due to past experiences but Ivan helped boost my belief in my own abilities. He guided me through to diploma level where he really helped with stamina and breathing techniques. I would definitely recommend Ivan as a teacher, he is very experienced, friendly and has the knowledge to improve players of all levels. John Murril
