Philip Donovan
| I have been a visiting music teacher in Wiltshire since 2007 and I now enjoy working with a large group of schools in the area. It has been an incredible experience and one which I now want to continue in North Devon.
I started my career in music tuition as a guitar teacher and as my working relationship developed with the schools, my role has increased over time and now includes, music nurture groups, whole class music theory and ukulele tuition and a job as a music specialist consultant to ensure that the curriculum requirements are being met in an exciting and inclusive way! Along side these roles I have launched a morning school club called ‘Music Masters’, this gives students an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the world of music! I believe that learning an instrument should be an exciting and joyful experience and I do my best to ensure that this is the experience that my students receive. |

During his fourteen years in that position he established an international reputation as one of Europe’s finest trombone players and teachers.

In addition he was the featured soloist at the National Brass Band Championships Gala Concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on four occasions.

Recently he returned from a successful tour of Spain where he performed the Holst ‘Concertante for Trombone and Wind Band’ and the Derek Bourgeois ‘Trombone Concerto’ at the World Wind Band Association conference in Valencia following enthusiastic reviews from music critics and trombone players throughout Europe. Nick released his first solo recording ‘Anthology’ with the Britannia Building Society Band in 1996 followed by the highly successful ‘New Horizons’ in 2002 featuring a diverse range of styles from jazz, avante garde and brass band repertoire. Another recent recording features a range of specially commissioned works for tenor and bass trombone where Nick plays alongside Douglas Yeo, Bass Trombone with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Douglas Yeo – Bass Trombonist Boston Symphony Orchestra (retired)
“Nick has a fine tone and his intonation is excellent, as well as phrasing and legato. I am sure his solo recordings will be a big success.”
Jay Friedman – Principal Trombone Chicago Symphony Orchestra
“Nick makes my solo sound his own, he has total command of the instrument and makes what I thought was a virtuoso solo, sound easy”
Bruce Broughton – Film Music Composer
“Tommy Dorsey, Michel Becquet, Don Lusher… Nick certainly belongs with these other lyric poets of the trombone…. his playing is the kind that attracts attention to the music itself; it is
unaffected, engaging and sincere.”
Scott Hartman – founder member Empire Brass USA
“Superlatives cannot express Nick’s sensitive playing in the slow movement of the Sparke.” Brass Band World Magazine
“Hudson was the soloist in Langford’s ‘Rhapsody for Trombone’ and this was the high spot of the day in terms of the soloists on offer. His was a faithful reading of a superb showcase
piece and his performance was never less than brilliant. He is a supreme exponent of the art of solo playing.”
