Welcome to
Hello! I'm Camilla, a professional piano teacher based in Shrewsbury. I offer personalised lessons in the Shrewsbury area. My lessons are built with the students needs in mind always. We will always aim to improve your playing whilst making sure you have a solid grounding in theory. We can learn towards exams together, we can learn songs or even focus on something specific.
I teach graded exams as an option for those who want to go through them. If this is something you would like to pursue, please let me know. As long as I have enough notice, we can work in any direction that you wish. I will always present my lessons in an enjoyable manner.
I will try my best to make sure every lesson is made to your specifications & we learn what you want to learn during the course of your lessons. My lessons are personalised to you and I really pride myself on this. Please remember to let me know what kind of learning direction you want to go in and I will try my best to create a lesson plan that suits you.

I have experience in teaching all ages and would recommend starting no younger than age 6. I always make a lesson plan that suits your age and experience level. I'm more than happy for us to work on a lesson plan together where we can go through the styles that you enjoy and learn songs that are familiar to you. Whether you want to learn for fun or study towards and exam, I will always make sure we take the steps to help you reach your understanding and playing goals.
I am happy to teach you in a direction that suits you. Let me know what kind of music you enjoy. I think that learning music that's familiar is key to making good progress and enjoying learning an instrument. I hope that we can enjoy learning and always create a positive learning environment together. If you ever have any questions about learning to play, I will always be happy to help and answer.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginner and advanced students to take my lessons. I will make a lesson plan that works for you.
I welcome beginner students.
My background is diverse. I started violin at the age of 4 and studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School under Berent Korfker (Professor at the Royal College of Music). YMS is world-renowned as an elite institution for classical music education. Following my time at YMS, I switched to academics and continued my violin studies under Lars Bjornkjaer (Concert Master at the Danish Royal Opera House).
Currently, I am a 5th-year medical student at UCL (taking time out) and since my first degree (BSc Neuroscience KCL), I have been tutoring as a violin and maths & science tutor. This has been my work for over 10 years and I am passionate about providing a real education that equips my students with skills that help them become confident and self-motivated.
During my sabbatical from medicine, I am learning electronic music with an aim to combine my understanding of classical music with modern technology. Whilst qualifications provide physical proof of competency, a tutor cannot be effective without the ability to communicate. My fascination with people and behaviours combined with my experience across creative and academic disciplines allows me to offer you a unique approach to learning.
I also offer more advanced type lessons
For beginner players I offer them a stable foundation of skills to get their piano playing off to a great start (with a real focus on fun for the very young!). Alongside this student’s will always be offered to choose their own pieces which helps to propel their progress. Establishing a structured method of practice is also discussed in each lesson to ensure all students understand what they are playing and why.
Intermediate players are offered all of the above, especially if they are returning from a break in their playing. If they are a seasoned player their instrumental technique will be pushed further using examinations and personal playing goals. There are also regular concerts organized throughout the year that enable all players to perform to an audience.
I will always build an interesting lesson plan around the music and styles that you're interested in. I like to make sure my students enjoy learning with my and because of this my lessons are always fun but informative for all.

I offer mobile violin lessons to my students, enabling them to learn in the comfort of their own homes (subject to my availability and the student’s location).
I offer my tuition to students of all levels. All Ages.
Weekly and fortnightly lessons are by far the best way to improve your playing.
