About STEPHEN

- What kind of experience do you have?

Over 30 years of teaching music full time as a Director of Music in Independent HMC, GSA and IAPS schools. I have taught from Nursery specialist Music to A level and Diplomas in school. I have also spent 15 years as a GCSE examiner and 10 as an A level examiner. I have examined for Fellowship, Associateship and Licentiateship Diplomas in Music. I have worked as a Professor in the Junior department of the Guildhall School of Music in London and so have taught some incredibly talented musicians who have gone on to become fine professional musicians. I sang as a deputy lay vicar choral at St Paul's cathedral, London and I have sent countless numbers of students through ABRSM examinations, GCSE, AS, A level and a large number through Diploma examinations. I have sent many on to top Universities on Organ and Choral Scholarships and many to Conservatoires such as the RAM, RCM, Birmingham Conservatoire, Guildhall and the Scottish Royal Academy of Music. I have sent several into the Band service of HM Royal Marines, Army and RAF and have students who are now Opera singers at Glyndebourne, Welsh National and The Coliseum in London. I have several ex students who play in top orchestras across Europe. I have guest conducted HM Royal Marine Band on many occasions and performed as Choral Director with Choirs across the whole of Europe is such prestigious places as The Royal Albert Hall, St Paul's Cathedral, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris along with St Sulpice, The Madeleine Church and Sacre Couer. Also in Florence Basilica, Venice Cathedral and Basilica of St Mark and most English Cathedrals, Eton College Chapel and Concert Halls up and down the country. I have accompanied thousands of students for ABRSM and Diploma examinations and have many who have been members of the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain. I am an organ recitalist and was Organ Scholar at Newcastle Cathedral, and York Minster as well as Sub Organist at York Minster to Francis Jackson who was my teacher I also studied organ as a post graduate with David Sanger, Arthur Wills and Peter Hurford and lastly with Hans Fagius. I have taught large numbers of Cathedral Choristers and have sung as a Counter Tenor in many choirs and as a soloist. I studied singing with Christopher Royall (a member of the Sixteen). I have given concert organ recitals all over Europe and in most Cathedrals and Concert Halls in this country including Westminster Abbey, Cathedral and St Paul's Cathedral. I also am currently Organist and Choirmaster at The Parish Church of Saint Giles in Matlock, Derbyshire.

I was a Chorister at Derby Cathedral and then Organ student there and at Southwell Minster where I studied with Kenneth Beard. I then studied with Russel Missin at Newcastle Cathedral where I was Organ Scholar and also gained a degree from the University there. I then studied organ with John Scott Whiteley as Organ Scholar at York Minster, Francis Jackson, David Sanger ,Peter Hurford, Flor Peeters and Hans Fagius. I studied Choir Training with Wallace Ross, Kenneth Beard, Russell Missin, Francis Jackson, Professor Peter Lea Cox and Philip Moore. I studied piano with David Dilks and Gillian Bithel. I also studied Organ and Harpsichord with Professor Sir David Lumsden at the Royal Academy of Music where I was a Post Graduate Scholar in Organ, Singing and Composition. I then won a scholarship to study with Professor Baron Flor Peeters in Belgium.

Dr Oxley is a superb musician and teacher and superlatives do not come even close to describing him or the empathetic and patient way in which he has taught my daughter theory and singing.I have observed him over some years in both school and out of school and he never fails to amaze me and what he can achieve with students. He has a highly assured and yet encouraging teaching manner and he never fails to ensure that learning music is accessible and great fun.
