About Samantha
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have many years of experience both performing and teaching. I have performed with symphony orchestras, chamber groups, duets and as a session musician. I was a Head of music in 3 schools between 2002 - 2011. Throughout that time I taught violin, viola and piano individually in addition to my classroom teaching career, with many of my students going on to study music at degree level. I made the decision to devote myself purely to one to one tuition, as instrumental teaching is a great passion of mine, that brings huge satisfaction when I see the progress my students make.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I have an up to date CRB check from Lewisham.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I studied viola and violin at Trinity College of music, London, with violists Rusen Gunes and Peter Lewis and violin professor Andrew Sherwood.
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
I am a member of the musicians' union.
