News
Happy to share that next week I have been invited to give some ‘master classes’ in the Pablo Sarasate Conservatoire of Music in Pamplona (Spain). I still remember vividly the times when I was an eager student myself, so now I’ll try to put back some of the wonderful advice that cellists like Lynn Harrell, Julian Lloyd Webber, Laurence Lesser, William Pleeth so generously offered me! The sessions are open, and I believe without any entry charge for listeners ….

Who plays Johnstone-Music?
Johnstone Music has been performed by orchestras and conservatories worldwide, earning international recognition in cello repertoire.
How do free downloads work?
Please enjoy looking around the very large selection of music offered, and the information given for each piece or work. When you find music you want, simply click “Yes, I wish to download this music”.
You can then either continue searching or go to the Collection Point to receive the music. You can order up to ten PDFs in each session (once per day).
The very first time you receive music, you will need to register on this site with the briefest details, of course at no cost at all. Then, on subsequent visits, you simply ‘log in’.
It is hoped to launch a special viewer subscription for unlimited access in the near future.
Practising good intentions
This site includes a wealth of historical and modern documents, photos, and music — some obviously of unknown or untraceable origin. Johnstone-Music makes no intent of financial gain from sharing the material; any royalties happily belonging to the original owners.
We believe that virtually anyone would appreciate the educational and academic value of sharing, and we’re happy to credit (and thank) any name. However, please be assured that if any copyright holder were to firmly object to the inclusion of something in their domain we would promptly remove said item upon request.
Personal
David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.
He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!
Social Work
David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.
TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
