Robert Gillies

Born into a family of professional musicians, Robert Gillies not only received a thorough musical education throughout his early years, but also enjoyed the opportunities and benefits which coming from a musical background offered. Aged four he began piano lessons and aged nearly eight trumpet lessons began, culminating in studying for his grade eight Associated Board final exams by his fifteenth birthday. Having considered careers in physics, film and drama during his teenage years, an interesting twist finally led him back into music.
