I am an experienced teacher based in Cardiff. I have worked professionally in London as a violinist and a teacher of violin, piano, viola and theory for the past ten years.
I began playing the violin at the age of four, and spent many of my school years taking part in County and National ensembles. After leaving school I went on to achieve a BMus(hons) from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, and then an MA from Gothenburg University in Symphonic violin performance. Since graduating I have been a freelance violinist in London, playing in numerous orchestras, shows and for events. Alongside this I have become an accomplished teacher. My teaching experience ranges from individual lessons, to whole class violin, to being Head of Music in a London preparatory school.
I focus on enjoyment, and tailor lessons to student preferences, while also including a strong technical foundation. I adapt lessons to suit each student, giving a bespoke service every time. I regularly arranges pieces that students would like to play, as well as having a detailed knowledge of grade exams, should that be the direction the student wishes to go in.
Lessons themselves always involve a number of different activities, from scales and arpeggios, to studies, to pieces. I ensure that my students are always engaged and always take the desires of the pupil into consideration. The first lesson will depend on the student, and what prior abilities they have, and be mainly spent getting to know each other and deciding on what direction is best for learning.
