Cameron PEARCE

Equally at home playing jazz, classical, or pop, Cameron is regularly in demand as a performer. A member of the Christchurch Symphony since 1995 and a founding member of the Symposium Jazz Orchestra (circa 2007), he is a regular 'first call' for pit orchestras and recording sessions in Christchurch. He has also performed with, composed and arranged music for an impressive range of high-profile international and local artists and theatre companies.

 Cameron joined the teaching staff at Ara Music Arts in 1998 and has lectured across many core subjects, specialising in Jazz Theory, Jazz Arranging & Composition and trumpet studies. He holds a Bachelor of Musical Arts from the Ara Institute of Canterbury and a Master of Arts from the Aaron Copland School of Music, City University of New York (USA). His book, “Modern Etudes for Solo Trumpet”, was recently published by Sher Music.
