The British Musical Biography

[E] Sharman, Percy Victor, violinist, born
at Norwood, Surrey, in 1870. In his thirteenth
year he gained a Scholarship at the R.C.M.,
for three years, which was extended for two
years more, as he showed conspicuous talent.
He also obtained the Exhibition of £60 per
annum, for four years, the gift of the Worship-
ful Company of Skinners. This was for the
purpose of enabling him to continue his
studies abroad. Accordingly ho entered the
Royal High School of Music, at Berlin, as a
pupil of Dr. Joachim. Since 1887 he has
appeared with success on the concert platform,
and was the violinist of Mr. Sims Reeves'
touring party, 1890-1 ; but he is chiefly devoted
to tuition, and since 1890, has been professor
of the violin at the Charterhouse School,
Godalming. Of his compositions only a
Romance for Violin, and one or two songs,
have been published.
