Additional Info:

Joshua has studied under the tutorage of Richard McMahon, Mary Dullea and others, achieving a 2:1 Bachelor of Music (Hons.) in Piano Performance (RWCMD).

Growing up in Blackburn, Lancashire, Joshua learnt piano from the age of 9 with local Trish Ferrarin, while studying at QEGS and then Runshaw College, Leyland.

Gaining invaluable teaching experience in his gap year in 2008, Joshua acted as a peripatetic teacher, working privately with children and adults of all ages. He was also employed by Birch Music School as a freelance musician, teaching piano at a local school, and taking music therapy based sessions at The Fountains Psychiatric Rehabilitation Hospital. He is also a supporting piano accompanist for Rhondda Cynon Taff Music Services.

In 2012 he was awarded a Diploma in Teaching by the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music. In Joshua's final year, he wrote a dissertation on the Approaches to Personal Piano Practice.

Joshua has a car, and has held a full, clean UK driving licence since 2007 and is happy to travel to give lessons (to a maximum of 10 miles), though there is a variable small supplement for fuel prices.

From July - September 2013, Joshua was the Musician in Residence at the Mehli Mehta Music Foundation in Mumbai, India.

Continuing his University education at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Joshua is now undertaking a 2 year Postgraduate MA in Piano Accompaniment.
