Evie studied music at university in London and has been playing violin and viola for over 20 years. She is interested in a broad range of music, which she hopes to share with students of all ages and abilities in their lessons. As a performer, Evie plays in various settings - folk, jazz, in bands, as well as more typical orchestral and chamber ensembles. Her own musical interest currently lies in folk, baroque music and improvisation. Evie has been teaching a broad range of students for the last eight years: those who wish to take graded exams, those looking to explore folk and improvisation, expand their repertoire, or brush up on technique. She also currently teaches group violin classes at a primary school in London. She has found that encouraging a structured and regular practice at home, if possible with the help of a parent or guardian, is the best way to reach goals and feel confident while playing. Most of all, she encourages students to be open-minded, inquisitive, and ready to listen to a variety of music! Evie is always ready to cater specifically to the needs and interests of the student, and to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. In lessons, she will cover sight-reading, exam preparation, music theory, focused technique, improvisation, standard repertoire, and any music the student may wish to explore on their instrument.

I have a Diploma in Music Teaching Performance, a Bachelor in Music Performance and a Master's in Performance Science. I have years of teaching experience with students of all ages and abilities. I strive to make lessons an encouraging and enjoyable environment for students. I set attainable weekly goals to ensure consistent development from week to week, with sensitivity and awareness of each student's individual needs and abilities. I have experience in preparing students for ABRSM exams, competitions and recitals. Together, we will work on building technique through, studies, exercises and pieces. Lessons will also involve developing music theory, musicality and performance optimisation.

Learn violin, guitar and music in a friendly and practical way, with lessons tailored to your experience, ability and goals. I have several years of experience teaching students of different ages and ability levels, including beginners. I have worked in music schools teaching violin, guitar, music theory and practical musicianship, and have experience preparing students for Trinity College London examinations and performances. Lessons can cover instrumental technique, music theory, sight-reading, rhythm, chords, songs, repertoire and performance skills. Whether you are starting from scratch, looking to improve your technique, or preparing for an examination or performance, lessons can be adapted to your individual needs. I also have extensive live performance experience as a violinist and bassist, performing with bands and as a solo musician at weddings, events, hotels, restaurants, clubs and corporate functions. My aim is to help students develop their musical skills, confidence and enjoyment while learning in a relaxed and supportive environment.
