Joshua began his trumpet studies at the age of ten under the tutelage of Valentine Malkov (formerly principal with Leningrad Philharmonic).
At the age of 16 he began studying with Gordon Webb (formerly principal with the London Philharmonic) and two years later, began a bachelor of music degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of music.
During this period, Joshua worked as a casual musician with the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra as well as the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
In 2001 Joshua moved to the Canberra School of Music where he completed a graduate degree under the guidance of Daniel Mendelow (currently principal with the Sydney Symphony).
Following his graduation, Joshua was accepted to attend a summer course in Banff called 'Forging a Career as a Soloist', and was accepted as one of only three brass players internationally.
Recently, Joshua has continued to perform regularly with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Western Australian Symphony Orchestra, Oz Opera, Malaysian Philharmonic and this year was invited to play principal trumpet with The Queensland Orchestra.
