About Oscar
Soloist, chamber musician and teacher, working across Oxfordshire.
Oscar studied with Peter Adams from the age of 11, going on to graduate from the University of Oxford with first-class honours in music. At Oxford he held the Pembroke College Instrumental Award.
Within a month of graduating he began his first teaching post at Warwick School. He is a naturally gifted teacher, and has since taken on his first private pupils.
Away from music, Oscar enjoys playing golf with his father and cycling through the countryside.
