He was born with stunted fingers so was unable to play a musical instrument himself. Later in life, when asked about his hands by children, he said he used to bite his fingernails too much.[1] Early lifeJohn Hosier was born in the northwest London suburb of Kingsbury, Middlesex. His father, Harry Hosier, was the founder of the building firm Hosier and Dickinson, and his mother, Constance, was a violinist. She overcame the problem of his playing a musical instrument by teaching him to play the xylophone. He attended Fryent Primary School, Kingsbury, Preston Manor County Grammar School, now Preston Manor High School, Wembley and St John's College, Cambridge where he also served as a director of Footlights from 1950–1951.

Then from 1960 until 1973 he worked in BBC Television for schools. He was producer of the Schools Television programme Music Time. From 1973 until 1976 he was the inspector for Inner London Education Authority and the director of the Centre for Young Musicians. From 1978 until 1989 he was the principal of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama at the Barbican Arts Centre. In 1986 he worked with Leonard Bernstein for the Barbican Centre's Leonard Bernstein Festival. He became a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1984. In 1989 he was appointed Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, a position he held for 5 years until 1993. He was director of the Early Music Centre in London from 1994 until his death in 2000.[2] He was married to Biddy Baxter, the editor of the BBC's children's television programme Blue Peter for nearly 25 years.
