Michael is Professor of violin and chamber music at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. However, his interest in musical education extends far outside this important role. Michael is an expert in the field of musical education. For the last three decades, Michael has explored the educational system and has challenged old models that are not working or are redundant. He has initiated many ground-breaking and pioneering educational trials that have generated excellent results; many of his innovative approaches are supported by the recent Henley Review for the Government which champions the dynamic attitude towards musical education that Michael has promoted. Michael has excelled in creating dynamic and inclusive learning environments for young musicians. He is wonderful at nurturing talent. He has inspired many to become professional musicians and pursue careers in music.
