Cello £35.00/hr

Personal Message: I am a cellist who has recently moved to the Wanstead area. I'm looking for enthusiastic students who want regular lessons for enjoyment or for exams. Please get in touch! www.amyjolly.co.uk
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I primarily teach classical cello but I can also help with music theory and beginner violinists/violists/pianists. I'm quite happy to help with whatever you want to achieve including exams, auditions, help with orchestral parts and theory tests. I also offer a practice-supervision service - this can be invaluable support for parents who are bewildered by their child's practice!
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have a Bachelor degree from the Royal Danish Academy of Music and am about to graduate from the Master of Arts degree at the Royal Academy of Music. I also hold an LRAM teaching qualification which I was awarded in 2011.
What kind of experience do you have?: I have taught privately for many years, teaching students ranging from young children to 80 year old amateurs. I am a teacher for Wandsworth Music Service and am on the teaching faculty at the Oxford Cello School.
How much do you charge?: I charge £35 per hour. If you prefer me to travel to your house I may have to charge extra to cover time and transport costs.
Where do you teach?: I'm available to teach at home most weekdays. I don't have a car but I am happy to travel around the Ilford/Wanstead/South Woodford/Woodford/Walthamstow/Leytonstone areas and anywhere along the Eastern Central Line.
When are you available?: I am flexible with times and my schedule is often changing so lessons can be made on a weekly basis, however I will try (if you prefer) to keep to a set time. Weekends and evenings are often possible.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: I have taught groups and individuals of all ages and I'm happy to work with any level.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: I am more than happy to help with ABRSM or Trinity exam preparation up to diploma level and I currently hold a 100% distinction rate with my current and past students.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: Yes.
Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.: I do not recommend this as a sole method for learning cello but if we miss a lesson one week I am quite happy to offer advice over Skype or on the phone!
Where and with whom did you train?: Bjorn Bantock: pre-higher education
Jakob Kullberg: Royal Danish Academy of Music
Valter Despalj: Zagreb Academy of Music
Josephine Knight: Royal Academy of Music

Chopin Polonaise & the 'Virtuoso'

The definition of the term 'virtuoso' has not always been thought of as we do today. The meaning has changed from one of rather derogatory terms – the 14th century virtuoso singers improvised so much of what they performed that they were thought to have been possessed: “a bevy of singers who so embellished and ornamented the Church melodies of...
