Peter Buckoke
Peter Buckoke oversees the Alexander department at the RCM, where the technique is embedded in the BMus degree. Peter is also professor of double bass and plays both modern and baroque bass with a number of chamber groups in London. He is a founding member of the Schubert Ensemble of London, winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Best Chamber Group award, and has often been invited to play with other small chamber groups when they need a bass player for larger repertoire, including the Alberni, Allegri, Arditi, Chillingirian, Coul, Dante, and Endellion string quartets. In 2006, Peter was invited to an international double bass convention at the China Conservatory in Beijing, representing European bass playing and giving workshops in the Alexander technique in relation to double bass playing. In his spare time, Peter looks after several colonies of bees.
