I have played the violin for over 25 years taking part in both solo, ensemble and orchestral work and performances. I have been teaching violin for 17 years and teach a range of different styles and genres. I have many years of success in tutoring students through both ABRSM and Trinity Music exams and supplement lessons of those studying for practical exams with music theory. I also work with students on school entry exams, orchestral audition preparation and ensemble work where appropriate and am happy to arrange lessons working towards personal goals.

Private Guitar, Violin & Bass teacher based in Surrey. Associate Tutor - Rockschool / RSL Classical. I hold RSL grade 8 certificates in guitar, violin and bass. Many of my students follow the RSL syllabus and I have a track record of exam success. I have also helped young students gain entry into ACM Guildford, North Kent College and The Brit School. I am equally happy teaching students who don’t wish to follow any academic path and prefer to fulfil their specific musical agendas.
Hello! I am a warm, encouraging and adaptable musician and have recently 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 4 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.
