Do you have a personal message for students?
Based in Cirencester, I teach in the Gloucestershire & Swindon areas.

I teach the classical violin (including the ABRSM grades), but if you want to branch out into improvisational styles then I am very happy to help develop your abilities in these areas.

If you are thinking about starting to learn the violin you may be concerned about the cost of violins and how to choose the right violin. Don't worry, I can give you help and advice so that you choose the best violin you can afford. If you haven't yet acquired a violin you can have your first lesson without one as I can provide you with an instrument to play.
