Personal Message
As someone who loves music and plays the violin professionally, I enjoy teaching and passing on my knowledge and enthusiasm to those who are eager to learn. I believe that it is possible for everyone to enjoy the benefits of playing an instrument to a high level if they put energy and passion into it, and I love to watch my students excel!
I offer a half price consultation, which gives you the opportunity to discuss any questions and agree on a plan of action. So if you're interested, please contact me.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
Violin and music theory.
Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a Bachelor's of Music Degree from Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where I studied with Catherine Lord (a former pupil of the legendary Ivan Galamian).
What kind of experience do you have?
I started teaching at the age of 18, and have taught a huge range of pupils, from the very young to the 40+ year beginners. I often prepare pupils for Assosiated Board Exams (Grades 1-8) and A level practical exams, as well as teaching those who just want to learn to play for their own pleasure.
How much do you charge?
My fees are 20.00 for half an hour and 35.00 for an hour. There's an additional 3.00GBP for travel to a pupil's home.
Where do you teach?
I mainly teach at home, but can travel to a student's home if needed. I can travel to Blackheath, Maze Hill, Deptford, Lewisham,Westcomb Park and Central London.
When are you available?
I prefer to teach mainly Monday to Friday afternoons/evenings, but can do occasional weekends, if no other alternative can be found.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
All ages and levels welcome!
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
Assosiated Board of Royal Schools of Music - ABRSM
GCSE & A level performance
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
No.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?
Member of the Musician's Union.
Where and with whom did you train?
I was born and braught up in Bulgaria until the age of 11, when I was scouted by the late professor Yfrah Neeman, and given a full scholarship at the prestigeous specialist music school Wells Cathedral. While at Wells, and later at the Guildhall School of Music (BMus) I studied with Catherine Lord, who was one of the few and highly elite students of Ivan Galamian (whose students also included Itzack Perlman).
