My Mission

Lessons Tailored To You

I have played both violin and piano since I was ten, and it’s been a passion in my life to pass on the wonderful skill to others. I’m currently studying towards a Master’s degree in violin performance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire. I specialise in classical music and love playing in orchestras and doing chamber playing. I have extensive experience in teaching, especially younger children as I worked in a nursery, as well as working as a private nanny and music tutor. I am originally from Suffolk, but I am now based in London for my studies.
