Neil Roxburgh
Dip·¬ÇÑÖ±²¥app, A·¬ÇÑÖ±²¥app(PG)
Born in Canada, Neil Roxburgh's fine reputation as pianist and teacher has been part of a varied and multifaceted professional career.
At ease with a wide range of classical repertoire, from traditional to the more contemporary, a particular affinity with the music of Debussy and Ravel has earned much praise and recital programmes convey his versatile and often intimate playing style.
Solo and ensemble performances have taken him through Europe and to North America, with recognition for “finely graded playing” (The Times) and “consummate professionalism” (The Independent), and he has featured in broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM as well as Canadian media.
Following initial studies in Toronto, Neil Roxburgh was awarded a major scholarship to study piano with John Barstow at the Royal College of Music where he received numerous honours for his playing. The Dannreuther Prize for his performance of the Samuel Barber Piano Concerto was a highlight, and his ·¬ÇÑÖ±²¥app studies culminated in him being presented with the prestigious Tagore Gold Medal as outstanding male student.
A respected, committed and highly experienced teacher, he has taught in the Royal College of Music Junior Department since 1995 and at The King's School, Canterbury since 2007. Chamber Music coaching is a notable additional strength, guiding numerous student ensemble successes.
Over the years he has also given master classes, adjudicated music festivals and examined nationally and internationally for the ABRSM.
