Joshua Gearing

Joshua began learning the piano at five years old, followed by the cello. He moved to percussion aged seven, after watching a local youth orchestra play and being captivated by the range of sounds coming from the back of the room. He takes every opportunity to play, whether it be a small jazz combo in a club, or accompanying a choir. He is particularly fascinated with the world of classical music and has a broad range of interests including composing and researching the lives of composers, as well as engaging with his A Level studies. Joshua has played in many orchestras, both in an amateur and semi-professional capacity and is currently enjoying his role as a percussionist in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, which allows him to combine his two passions of music and travel.
