As a fifth generation trumpeter, Cameron began playing the cornet in his local Salvation Army brass band aged 6, under the tutelage of his grandfather, Ray Todd. A music scholar of Norwich School, Cameron left in 2012 to pursue his music studies at King’s College London, where he graduated with First-Class Honours. During this period he gained the Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music and received scholarships to attend the Royal Academy of Music, Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Royal College of Music for postgraduate study, taking up his place at the Academy in September 2015. Whilst at university, Cameron studied with Paul Beniston and John Hutchins and has also received tuition from Mark David, Ray Simmons and James Watson. Highlights have included touring with the European Youth Orchestra, Triorca; holding the principal trumpet position in the University of London Symphony Orchestra, and directing the KCL Big Band from the lead trumpet chair. Equally at home as a soloist, Cameron has performed several solo recitals in and around London as well as concerto performances of works by Haydn, Hummel, Neruda and Arutunian. Cameron enjoys a busy performance schedule across all genres, and is extremely grateful for the support given to him by Help Musicians UK and the Countess of Munster Musical Trust.
Cam arrived on time, played well and was pleasant to work with. Would be happy to book him again. Thank you
