About Denise
- What kind of experience do you have?
I am an Ex-professional London Orchestral violin player with 15 years experience playing with some of the best orchestras in the country including the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as well as performing solo and chamber concerts.
I also have experience as a professional pianist and accompanist, regularly playing solo piano (classical and jazz) in a number of London hotels and restaurants as well as accompanying professionals in chamber concerts and auditions.
On the teaching front, I have over 30 years teaching experience - teaching both privately, in schools (both public and state), music centres and adult education colleges.
I have taught individual, group lessons, chamber groups, instrumental sections, and string orchestras - both as a tutor and conductor. I have taught all ages from 4 up to 75 - and all levels from beginner up to advanced and college/university entrance level including Grade 8 preparation and preparation for music college entrance. I specialise in intermediate-advanced violinists and have an unusually in-depth knowledge and expertise in teaching violin technique due to my own extended training and study with five , internationally recognized violinists/teachers.
I have a 100% pass rate for entering students for ABRSM exams over 30 years with the majority of my students achieving merit or distinctions in their exams.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I have been CRB checked.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I trained at the Royal College of Music. Before, during and after my training at the Royal College I trained with some of the finest international violinists including Hugh Maguire, Raymond Cohen, Rodney Friend, Erich Greunberg, Emmanuel Hurwitz and Tessa Khambatta.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
My current students include children/young people and beginner and improver adults (including retired adults / seniors) learning violin, piano and popular/jazz piano.
