As a seasoned violin tutor with a Master's degree and over 3 years of experience, I specialize in teaching violin to students from school to college levels, including adult and professional musicians. My approach is all about personalized, student-centered learning. I blend traditional techniques with innovative methods to keep lessons engaging and effective. In addition to mastering the violin, I also cover music theory, ear training, and sight-reading to help students build a comprehensive musical foundation. From bow techniques to posture, from scales to vibrato, I ensure a well-rounded learning experience. I take pride in creating a positive and empowering environment where students feel motivated to reach their full potential. Whether you're gearing up for an exam or simply exploring the joys of music, I tailor my teaching to your unique goals. My passion lies in not only honing your technical skills but also nurturing a profound love for music that lasts a lifetime.

Violin lessons overview

My personalized tutoring approach for violin encompasses a technique-focused style emphasizing performance coaching, expressive musicality, theory integration, and creativity. I teach a range of subjects including Classical Violin, Jazz Violin, Baroque Violin, and more, tailored to suit Student Violinists. To enhance learning, I utilize tech tools like DAWs, Ear Training Software, and Virtual Violin Apps, making lessons interactive and engaging. I follow various curricula like A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, ensuring a comprehensive educational experience. My audience consists of small groups of students, typically less than 10, spanning School, College, and Adult/Professional levels. My strength lies in adapting to individual needs, fostering creativity, and instilling a deep understanding of musical concepts in my students.
