Violin and Music Theory lessons from a qualified, native English speaking teacher

From 46.45 £ /h

I have been playing the violin for 20 years and am a fully qualified classroom music teacher in the UK. With my strong pedagogical background and understanding of what makes a good music lesson, I come not just with my knowledge and skills as a musician but also my knowledge and skills as a teacher.

I have experience of teaching the ABRSM syllabus and Trinity College London Classical syllabus, and am able to support you in preparing for graded exams or simply learning for fun! Each lesson will incorporate music theory, technical knowledge and performance skills in an engaging and relaxed environment. We can focus on exam pieces if a graded exam is your goal, or we can choose pieces from any genre that takes your interest to build up your technical and performance skills. I love taking suggestions from my students and these are always welcome!

I am able to offer music theory lessons in addition to violin lessons. This will be based on the ABRSM syllabus up to grade 5 level, and I can also support students in preparing for these exams.

I look forward to being your music teacher and learning together!
Extra information
All students must bring their own violin. I am happy to assist with obtaining one if needed.

About Me
I am originally from Ireland, but have lived in Edinburgh, London and now Munich with my German fiancé. I am a fully qualified high school level music teacher in the UK and am excited to continue my career as a music educator in Munich.

My main focus as a teacher is providing strong technical knowledge combined with experience and enjoyment of performing to support you as a whole musician and not simply as a violin player. My lessons are always fun and relaxed, and I especially enjoy working with children in their first steps towards becoming a musician.

I hold a degree in music with a specialism in performance studies and have been privately teaching violin for 10 years.
