About Stephen
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught violin, viola and theory since 2005 both privately and in schools. I have entered students for ABRSM exams and have prepared a number of students for entrance scholarship auditions. My former pupils have been awarded music scholarships at top prep schools and have gained places at the Royal Academy of Music, London.
I am established as a successful freelance professional violinist, playing with a number of leading UK orchestras and with my own chamber ensemble. I also have an academic degree in music, have undertaken musicological research at masters level and have been commissioned to write essays and programme notes. I believe this breadth of experience enables me to teach in a holistic way which is in the long-term interests of the student.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I do not have a DBS certificate because I am not currently employed by a school or similar organisation. I have however held Enhanced CRB certification in the past when working as a peripatetic music teacher.
- Where and with whom did you train?
Whilst at school I studied violin with Deidre Ward at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music. I read music at the University of Cambridge where I was a member of the Instrumental Awards Scheme. I subsequently studied modern violin with the late Howard Davis and baroque violin with Nicolette Moonen at the Royal Academy of Music, London where I also gained the LRAM teaching diploma.
