Hello, my name is Julia! I am an American/English violist and violinist, and I just moved to Montpellier to join the orchestra as Alto second soliste. I am a teacher, performer, and artist, and have been teaching since 2016. I grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, but have also lived in San Francisco, Paris, and Vienna. I also speak French and German, but I mainly teach in English. I studied viola at The Juilliard School in New York City and took several pedagogy courses there. Whether you or your child is a complete beginner, returning to the instrument, or looking to take your playing to the next level, I would be thrilled to work with you! I love to work with people of all ages and share my love of music with as many people as I can!

I am an enthusiastic and energetic teacher and have twenty years of experience sharing my love and knowledge of music and violin/viola playing with students of all ages. I come from the UK where I studied at Trinity College of Music, London, and the University of Southampton, and I have recently moved to the beautiful corrézien French countryside. At the moment I teach predominantly online, working with international students. I have taught for music services in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Enfield and in a variety of public and state schools, and privately. I am experienced at working with groups of different sizes, individuals and coaching ensembles from beginner to advanced. Over the past twenty years, I have regularly entered students for ABRSM with consistently successful results. Alongside this, I have performed professionally in many different settings, with orchestras, chamber music ensembles and theatre productions. My most unusual experience was playing with an Indian Bhangra/folk/pop band at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith and the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham. As a young musician and student, I loved playing in big symphony orchestras and this is what inspired me the most to keep practising. Nowadays the love of classical music remains but is complemented by my interest in folk music, especially Scandinavian, Irish, Scottish and bluegrass styles. I find the exploration of learning and teaching folk music in the aural tradition very liberating and have attended many Scandinavian folk workshops to learn to play more authentically in this style. As part of my musical training, I was lucky enough to discover the Alexander Technique and I am now a qualified teacher having completed a three-year training course. It has helped me to overcome pain, awkwardness with the violin, musical blockages and much more besides. So I can easily empathise with students with similar problems and have experience with helping them to play more freely. Music Qualifications & Achievements: I have a BA (Hons) degree in Music from the University of Southampton, a PG Diploma in performance from Trinity College of Music and an MSTAT qualification in Alexander Technique teaching. One of my most proud musical achievements was working with and arranging music for a string ensemble in a school. The ensemble started with 3 pupils and grew to be such a large group of 25 that they only just fitted on the stage for the school concert! Performance-wise I am proud of the many chamber recitals I have taken part in with string quartets, quintets and sextets. I was inspired to teach and to become a professional musician by my own experience of learning with skilled, generous, and insightful teachers, and aspire to pass some of this on to others.

Hello! I am a warm, encouraging and adaptable musician and in 2021 graduated from the Royal Academy of Music where I studied viola. I am an experienced teacher, with a BMus degree from the Royal Academy of Music, an LRAM teaching qualification, an enhanced DBS certificate and paediatric first aid. I can offer lessons on violin and viola and also tutor in music theory/ support musical studies in school. I have a positive approach and take into account the individuals needs and personality. I believe in a whole-person approach to musical education and ensuring the student is always comfortable and confident when playing and performing. I grew up in Sussex and began learning the violin at the age of 4, before at 7 being introduced to and discovering the viola, which is where I found my voice. I always appreciated the power of music and the importance of a good musical education from effective teachers. I have taught violin and viola for the past 10 years and began tutoring in music and music theory at the age of 18. Music Qualifications & Achievements: BMus(Hons) from the Royal Academy of Music LRAM Grade 8 on violin and viola Grade 5 piano A Level Music (A) In addition to teaching, I am also a dedicated chamber musician, soloist and orchestral musician and have performed internationally at many prestigious venues, including Birmingham Symphony Hall, Royal Festival Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, St Peters Basilica Rome and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. I have also attended many music courses and festivals including Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival, Arpeggione, Pro Corda, Grittleton Chamber Music Course and have toured with the Landes Jugend Orchester Bremen with Tanja Tetzlaff. I also enjoy performing as a soloist, in January 2025 I performed Harold in Italy by Berlioz, and in the Summer of 2025 I performed the Forsyth Viola Concerto.

As soon as I could walk and talk, I was playing the piano. I was singing, bashing out notes, and experimenting with rhythm, pitch and harmony by the time I was in Reception (Nursery), very much enjoying my time at a local Jo Jingles (music, singing and movement classes for toddlers) class and in the first year of my time at Primary School, I was going to piano lessons. I was soon learning the violin too, then I ‘picked up’ the flute, the guitar, cello, viola, clarinet, and drums throughout the following few years. I found I could play whatever I wanted quite well and I was (and still am) a quick learner. I had my first student when I was 15. By the time I was 18, by which time I had completed my GCSEs and A-Levels, I had acquired a dozen or so pupils, mostly through word-of-mouth (still the biggest and best advertiser!). I had dipped in and out of teaching as I continued with some higher education and numerous jobs, but it remained an undercurrent, flowing consistently beneath whatever else I was doing or however else I was generating an income. A friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in a while had set up a music school and a few years later asked me if I would like to join the team as a tutor. I loved my time there and appreciated the freedom of still being self-employed but getting to work with and surrounded by like-minded individuals. I was able to tailor my lessons to my students and use my own approaches and methods, yet be a part of a wonderful team. From then until now, I have taught in a variety of platforms and places – online via Skype/Zoom/FaceTime, in person, at my home, at students’ homes, in a music school/college of music, in primary/secondary schools, outside in the fresh air. I have taught children as young as 3 and my eldest pupil was 91. I am passionate about it, have always come back to it and I love to adapt, overcome and improve, constantly expanding my own learning, my own education. You can never know everything about anything and therefore you can never run out of fun things to learn. Music Qualifications & Achievements: I have a Diploma in Piano and Grade 8 in Violin, Voice and Music Theory. I have participated in various competitions and performances and have been featured in CDs and recordings both personally in my musical journey and professionally in my music/teaching career. If you know me, or if you have read my biography above, you’ll know that I pride myself on working with all kinds of people, all ages, all abilities – on working with those who have to face extremely difficult and challenging things in their life, with those who have SEN (special educational needs) and individuals with developmental disabilities such as Autism. I have taught non-verbal children and adults and those with various different physical and/or emotional abilities. But really, it all just comes down to my love for teaching and my emphasis on the fact that everyone has the ability to learn. Music, and learning a musical instrument, can open up so many doors for people, can improve their lives in countless ways and can aid recovery, development and growth. It can bring people together. Put simply, it can bring you joy. And it brings me joy to share it with others.
