Chris Barron

Chris Barron is a third-year undergraduate student, studying with Patrick Harrild at the Royal Academy of Music.

" My ambition is to study as a postgraduate in Germany and work as an orchestral musician in Europe. To do this it is absolutely necessary to play the F tuba. With a loan instrument I am able to practice the F tuba every day, develop my proficiency on it as I save for my own, and audition at conservatories, orchestras and orchestra academies in Europe. "
