Adjudicator:
Ben Norbury
Ben Norbury is the
Syllabus Manager (Music) for Trinity Guildhall, in charge of the content
and design of new syllabuses for Grades and Diplomas in Music. He has
worked for Trinity Guildhall since 2002, before which he enjoyed a
wide-ranging and varied career as a recorder and oboe specialist,
holding teaching posts from inner London primary schools to the Royal
College of Music via the Centre for Young Musicians, where he still
teaches. He also performs regularly with leading modern and baroque
orchestras in and around London and is a Trinity Guildhall examiner.
After beginning his studies, like so many children, learning the
recorder as a part of classroom music lessons, he entered the Royal
Academy of Music’s Junior Exhibitioner’s course as the first ever
student to take the recorder as their main instrument. His studies with
Christopher Ball laid firm musical foundations which were built on as an
undergraduate at Oxford and then as a postgraduate student at the Royal
Conservatory in The Hague, where he studied recorder with Michael Barker
and baroque oboe with Frank de Bruine.
