Violin lessons overview

My personalized tutoring approach focuses on nurturing a deep passion for violin music while honing technical skills and artistic expression. I tailor lessons to suit each student's unique learning style, combining structure with creativity to ensure an engaging and enjoyable learning experience. For younger students, I incorporate interactive lessons, games, and a variety of repertoire to make violin learning accessible and fun. Advanced students benefit from challenging pieces that refine their technique and interpretation, along with performance coaching to enhance their stage presence. I utilize a range of tech tools like DAWs, ear training software, and virtual violin apps to supplement traditional teaching methods. By following recognized curricula such as A-Levels (UK) and the International Baccalaureate (IB), I ensure students receive a comprehensive education. With a diverse audience of 50+ students ranging from school to college levels and even adult and professional musicians, my ultimate goal is to inspire a love for violin music and facilitate progress at every step of their musical journey.
