During my time as a teacher I have learnt to adapt my teaching style to meet the specific needs of the pupil. I believe that everyone is capable of learning regardless of age or previous musical experience and I am equally comfortable tutoring absolute beginners or those with advanced skills. I teach the majority of my pupils on a one to one basis but also have experience teaching small groups.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach the cello from a beginner level to expert level. I also teach the clarinet up to a grade 5 standard and music theory up to a grade 6 standard.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
In 2000 I won a bursary to study cello with Genevieve Teulieres-Sommer at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama Junior Department. During this time I attended masterclasses in France with Raphael Sommer. In 2003 I performed Saint Saens First Cello Concerto in Rochester Cathedral and in the same year I reached the final round of the Marlowe Young Musician of the Year competition in Canterbury.
In July 2006 I completed a B.Mus.Hons degree at the Royal College of Music, London where I studied with Melissa Phelps and held a scholarship. From 2006 – 2008 I continued my studies at the Royal College of Music on the Post Graduate Diploma programme where I was awarded the Orchestral Mentor Scholarship and studied under Thomas Carrol. During this time I was chosen to lead the cello section of the Royal College of Music Opera Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra in numerous concerts under such conductors as Sir Roger Norrington, Sir Charles Mackerras and Vladimir Ashkenazy.
Since completing my degree in 2008 I have gone on to perform with numerous London orchestras including the London Concert Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
