CALLUM ARMSTRONG

I have always been very curious to explore new ideas on musical instruments, and to see how far I can push things both musically and technically. Over the last few years I have focused my attentions on bagpipes and the ancient Greek and Roman aulos... I started playing the highland pipes at the age of 16. From then onwards music became the big passion in my life and I was fortunate to be taught by some supportive music teachers. After school I studied music at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich, London. While at the Conservatoire I was awarded the Silver Medal for Early Music in 2013 and for three consecutive years the Beryl Maggs Prize for Recorder... Once I left the Conservatoire, I began my career as a self-employed musician and composer, working in a wide variety of different musical fields. This musical journey has led me to many exciting areas as a performer, teacher and instrument maker.
