Under Callaghan guidance I discovered how to convey true feeling through my violin. Rather than just hitting the right pitches she showed me to speak music especially in those slow romantic passages.

I was preparing for ABRSM Grade 5, and Callaghan played a key role in my progress. Her approach to scales was incredibly effective, and the sight-reading techniques she introduced made a big difference in my confidence and accuracy.
