Violin lessons overview
My personalized approach to violin lessons blends engaging performance coaching with a focus on theory integration and empathetic guidance. I utilize tech tools like DAWs, ear training software, and virtual violin apps to create interactive online learning experiences. By following curricula such as A-Levels (UK) and the International Baccalaureate (IB), I cater to school, college, and adult/professional students across all levels.

I got a chance learn with Heathridge in Lincoln village. Her enthusiasm for teaching is evident in every session. She challenged me with advanced bowing techniques and expressive phrasing, always offering precise, actionable feedback .I strongly recommend her to students in Lincoln Village.

Almost gave up on violin during lockdowns but everything changed once Heathridge ’s violin lessons in Wakefield. Now my son sets up the shoulder rest without help and can read music better and even practices every day sometimes even without me reminding her.

Starting violin lessons at 45, in Amberly, felt very stressful and I had second thoughts but my weekly sessions have become a highlight. Heathridge customised our classes and worked on folk and classical crossover pieces, and I’m thrilled with my progress.

I was nervous but Heathridge made me feel completely comfortable. Lessons are relaxed and focused, with steady progress each week. They’re great at adjusting the pace and keeping things fun.

When I moved to Mandarin that's when I signed up for Heathridge violin classes and what an experience it has been! She is creative and teaches her students how to be one with ease and her technical knowledge is great, making learning so easy and fun! I highly recommend her.

Heathridge violin lessons for children had a remarkable impact on my daughter. In just a few weeks she was confidently playing basic Suzuki songs for her grandparents Smiling with pride after every performance.

Heathridge strikes a great balance between being organized and encouraging. For the first time our child is eager to practice and has even begun using note reading apps outside of lessons. This kind of excitement is completely new for us.
