Geoff Mason, born in London, studied Trombone at London College of Music before moving on to join the regimental band of the Coldstream Guards. He played with the band for twelve years, during which time he toured Japan, Australia and America; he also played at high profile events such as trouping the colour and the Queen Mother?s funeral.

In 2003 Geoff and his family moved to Kent where he has built up a successful career teaching brass, with a flourishing reputation. As well as teaching Geoff continues to freelance, including gigs aboard the QE2, playing with the touring Rat Pack show and featuring on the soundtrack of the BBC drama ?The Debt?.

Geoff also runs his own jazz quintet, which has played most of the jazz festivals and clubs in the UK, and therefore is one of the few brass teachers who can teach jazz as well as classical styles.
