Violin Lesson at your place (Online also possible)

From 36.59 £ /h

My name is Diane, and I am from New Zealand.
I have 10 years of experience teaching private lessons to different ages and levels and several years of teaching internships during my studies.

Making music and learning how to do it should be always a enjoyable process. Fortunately, when you like music and have a supportive and experienced teacher, helping you out and giving you the tools you need in every moment, that joy and stress-free music-making comes easily.

If on the contrary you are an advanced student, I would love to help you build solid technique and support your own musicality.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me for any further questions.

About Me

CV
Diane grew up in Korea in a musical family. She began to learn the violin at the age of seven after her grandfather gave her a toy violin to brighten a stay in the hospital, but she has seriously pursued that instrument instead of any other because of its versatility: suited to solo, chamber, and symphonic music, she knew the violin would offer her the kind of opportunities she wanted.

She moved to New Zealand in 2008, and has performed extensively as a soloist, chamber and orchestra musician since then.
Her 2019 successes began with winning the National Concerto Competition in March. The next month she won the University of Auckland Graduate Gala competition, and took the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra’s Young Soloist of the Year prize. Before getting to that, she had also won the Michael Hill International Violin Competition NZ Emerging Artist Award. Of these many achievements, the one she is most proud of and pleased with is the Michael Hill, both because that competition is a landmark visible from everywhere in New Zealand’s, and indeed the world’s, music scene, and because it offers as a prize an opportunity to attend the Wakatipu Music Festival, where she expects to learn as much as she once did in the U.K.
Her chamber group, the Korimako Piano trio won the Royal Overseas League Chamber Competition and received a scholarship grant, worth $50,000 which provided them with a five-week cultural experience in the United Kingdom, including master classes, summer school festivals, performing at the ROSL Clubhouse in London, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Royal Scots Club Edinburgh, and St Martin-in-the-Fields.

She is also interested in Orchestra works, after being selected in the Fellowship Programme member of New Zealand Symphony Orchestra (NZSO). At the end of the Fellowship Programme, she was listed as a casual member of NZSO. She got selected as concertmaster at the University of Auckland Symphony Orchestra, and she crowned 2019 with her November graduation from the University of Auckland with a First Class Honours degree in Music.
