My specialties range from bow techniques to music theory and everything in between. I focus on honing technical skills while nurturing creativity and confidence in each student. Beyond violin, I integrate ear training and music theory for a comprehensive musical education. My goal is to inspire and empower my students, whether in school, college, or as adult and professional musicians, to unlock their full potential. Join me for personalized lessons in classical, jazz, electric, acoustic, or even fiddle violin. Let's embark on a musical journey together where you not only master the violin but also find your unique voice within the music. Let's create beautiful music together!

My personalized tutoring approach focuses on integrating music theory, fostering empathy, and enhancing sight-reading skills for violin students. I blend progressive instruction with real-life examples tailored to each student's needs. By using a variety of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps, I create interactive lessons that enhance learning. Following curricula like A-Levels (UK) and IB, I ensure a comprehensive educational experience. With a focus on individualized attention, I cater to small groups or one-on-one sessions for students at school, college, or professional levels, ensuring a supportive and collaborative learning environment for optimal growth.
