David Cowdy BA(Hons)Music, PGDipRNCM, PPRNCM, PGCE
Since studying at the Royal Northern College of Music I have enjoyed a multi-faceted career as a professional oboe player, teacher and reed maker. I have been fortunate to perform with a great many well known orchestras and ensembles in the UK and abroad and my educational work has ranged from conservatory and specialist music school teaching in the UK to orchestral coaching in the Middle-East. If you would like to see a full biography then please click here!
Always enjoying making reeds, I have been supplying other players for over 25 years and I gave my first reed making class at the RNCM while I was still a student! The reeds are now in constant demand with customers in more than 30 countries around the world. My reed making style has naturally evolved over many years of listening and playing and I am truly excited to be making reeds which help other musicians to perform in many varied circumstances.
In addition to freelance performing and reed making I am the Oboe Tutor at Junior Royal Northern College of Music and teach on the RNCM Young Oboes project.
