Nicholson, Lynda

Lynda was born in London and studied trumpet at the Royal College of Music, gaining the A.R.C.M. diploma, and the G.R.S.M. (Hons) degree. She followed this with post-graduate teacher training, and is well respected as a music educator, especially for her work with the St. Helens Youth Brass Band, whom she steered to many successes both on the concert and contest platforms. She was invited to form the National Childrens’ Brass Band of Great Britain and was the Music Director of their inaugural course in 2004.

She lectured on 'The Art of Brass Teaching' at the Royal Northern College of Music and has been a Mentor for the Associated Board’s Certificate of Teaching course.

She was a distinguished cornet player, playing Principal Cornet with, among others, Desford Colliery Band and Black Dyke Band. After turning her hand to conducting she directed several brass bands in the Northwest of England before relocating to Scotland in 2009.

Lynda was the 1999 recipient of the prestigious Harry Mortimer Medal, for services to youth music and in 2010 the British Federation of Brass Bands awarded her the Brian Hicks Memorial Trophy for commitment to brass music.
