About Grady
I started learning the tuba when I was nine years old, thanks to my school’s music department where I had one-to-one lessons and played in county and regional groups. Over time, I progressed to national ensembles like the National Youth Orchestra, National Youth Orchestra Wales, and the National Youth Brass Band of Wales. Those early experiences really opened my eyes to what’s possible with music and shaped the path I’m on today. After that, I studied for a master’s degree at the Royal College of Music, where I worked with some of the world's leading musicians. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to perform with some of the UK's top orchestras—like the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Opera House, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Welsh National Opera, and more. I’ve also done recording work for films and television. Teaching is a big part of what I do now, and I love it. I’m currently working with the Tri-borough Music Hub, and I’ve also taught for music services in Ceredigion, Slough, and Lambeth. I really want to help students discover the same kind of opportunities and joy that music has given me. I teach all ages and abilities, and I always tailor lessons to fit each person’s goals and learning style. Music isn’t just about playing notes—it builds confidence, discipline, and can even help with school and university applications. I’ve seen students earn scholarships and improve their academic prospects, which is always so rewarding to witness. When it comes to teaching, I take a holistic approach. I look at each student’s personality, commitment, and goals, and choose materials and methods that work best for them. I’m big on solid technique, but I also make sure lessons are fun and motivating—after all, enjoyment is key to making progress. I’m flexible with scheduling, communicate clearly, and give the right amount of encouragement and challenge to help students grow and feel confident in their playing.

In addition to individual tuition, I provide ensemble coaching, exam accompaniment, support with sight-reading and music theory to give students a well-rounded musical education.

Perfect! This was a great introductory lesson! Even in a short time Grady had identified issues and created solutions - trying these out at home later gave me confidence that good progress is really possible. Thanks very much!
- Great first lesson- established the basics and set a realistic daily warm up routine. A pleasure to teach someone who is already so musically inclinedGrady's response :
Perfect! Grady is a charming and friendly expert in his subject, giving me very good advice how to get back into shape after a long absence from my euphonium. I always look forward to his lessons.
