Violin, viola or cello Lessons with experienced and enthusiastic teacher

From 51 £ /h

Learn the VIOLIN or VIOLA or CELLO with me! I am a teacher with 15 years experience. I am a specialist in helping students of all ages to feel enthusiasm and motivation for learning their instrument. My lessons focus on the key elements, instrumental technique, reading music and performance skills and are tailored to the individual needs of the student. I believe that the learning process can be both fun and rewarding. I'm happy to take students through music exams, (or not if they prefer without) and my lessons include learning pieces, reading music, scales and technical skills, improvisation, creative music making and more.

I have been playing the violin for over 30 years with nearly 20 years teaching experience, a Masters in Composition (Bristol University) and degree in Popular and World Music (Leeds University). I teach Violin and viola from beginner to advanced level, and also teach cello, beginner to high intermediate levels. I love music, and love sharing the joy and skills of music with all my students, young or older, it's never to late to learn and to enjoy learning!

Feel free to get in touch and ask any questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you.

About Me

From complete beginner onwards, I take you through a step by step process, at an age appropriate level, in learning musical instrumental skills, combined with music theory, reading written music as well as improvisational skills. My lessons have a solid grounding in technique, and using step by step books and teaching resources, I will help you or your child to get a grasp of their instrument whilst enjoying the learning process. I help children who find concentration difficult by encompassing various activities within my lessons, enabling them to have fun whilst gaining an understanding of what it is to make music. I make use of backing tracks for students to play along to, some of which I even make myself. I also teach music composition and technology, as an experienced composer and music producer myself.
