Personal Message: My approach is to find musicality in all levels of ability, and to make learning fun and enjoyable for all ages from beginners to advanced.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I offer violin, viola and chamber lessons in Hackney E5 (East London). Whether you have specific technical difficulties, would like to prepare for exams, or just want to learn and explore music for the joy of it, lessons can be tailored to your needs. Tuition for chamber groups focuses on all aspects of ensemble, developing techniques and exercises to create a blended and balanced group.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have a Master of music studies (completed on viola) from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. I also have a Bachelor of Music specialising in Performance (completed half on violin and half on viola), and have completed a fellowship course with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
What kind of experience do you have?: I began playing violin and piano at the age of 3, and playing in community orchestras from the age of 9. Studying violin, viola and chamber music at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music Australia, I received my Master of Music on viola in 2005. I have since performed with orchestras and chamber groups throughout Australia and Europe. I was a founding member of Fyra String Quartet (which toured extensively through outback Queensland), and the Glass Quartet working in London. I perform in a variety of groups from orchestral to chamber in London.
How much do you charge?: I charge £35 per hour lesson for violin and viola lessons, and £20 per half hour. For chamber groups I charge £50 per hour.
Where do you teach?: I teach from home in Hackney E5 (East London).
When are you available?: I am available for weekday and evening lessons, and during school holidays. Please call to discuss availability.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: All ages and levels welcome.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: I have an up to date enhanced CRB disclosure certificate.
Tell me about some of your current students.: I currently teach at schools within the Hackney borough, and privately from my own home. My students have ranged from 4-70 years
