About Jonathan
- What kind of experience do you have?
I started playing the violin when I was 7 and accumulated a lot of performing experience over the years. I studied privately with Anne Shih at the Hochschule für Musik in Mainz (Germany) before doing a Masters at the Royal Northern College of Music, studying with Thelma Handy.
I play regularly as freelance violinist with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Other orchestral experience includes Britten-Pears Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Manchester Camerata and Camerata Ireland. I've also done TV and session work, playing with artists such as Lesley Garrett, Il Divo and Phil Coulter, and recently played on the Royal Variety Performance on ITV.
I am a violin teacher at Sistema Scotland's Big Noise Raploch, where I teach young people from 6-17 years. I have acquired extensive experience in early years violin teaching, and have training in a variety of pedaogical methods including Kodaly and Dalcroze. I have also been a visiting teacher at the Al Kamandjati Association in Ramallah, Palestine.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I am a member of Disclosure Scotland's Protecting Vulnerable Groups scheme (PVG).
