I have played the violin for many years and I absolutely love what I do.

I take great pride in using the skills I have developed over the years to provide the highest quality violin lessons that I can.

I am more than happy to teach students of all ages, no matter if you have never played a violin before or even if you have been playing for years. Having started to learn violin when I was very young myself, I feel it's never really too early or too late to start learning.
My lessons can also take place from the comfort of your own home as I am a mobile teacher. So depending on your location within London I am more than happy to travel to you for the duration of the lessons, which I find really helps people to learn and retain information being in a familiar and comfortable environment.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I offer violin lessons that are suitable and catered for both beginner and advanced students. I will make a tailored lesson plan that suits your needs as an individual.
Introduction to Violin, Basic Music Theory, Basic Songs
In 2015/16 I lived in London teaching Violin and preparing my students for ABRSM Exams. I was invited to play at The International Busking Day, on the 23rd July (2016) have also played, on the Streets, with her Violin students, close to the Houses of Parliament, (Big Ben). (With Licence to play on the Streets given by “Musicians Union”, as a “Musicians Union Member”).
Itarted to teach Music Education when I was 21 years old: at École Française de Porto. Two years later, decided to apply for Public Schools in Portugal, where I have taught Music Education for more than 10 years.
Then, I started also to teach Viola and Violin and Music Education in Music Academies in Portugal and as a private Teacher. As a private Teacher I have also been teaching the Recorder and the Guitar (with Chords and Songs in English, Portuguese, French and German).
Complex Song Performances, Advanced Music Theory
I also prepare students for Music Education and Aural Exams. Have been doing Musical Arrangements on Classical Music Pieces and Songs: adapting each Piece to her students Grades and playing with them during the Lessons and in Concerts, (such as the arrangement on the 2nd movement of Dvorak New World Symphony or the Song: “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, etc.)
Since July 2020 I was the first “Teachers Rock UK” International Member and can also prepare students with the Teachers Rock Youth Singing Programme: also online.
Above all, I value true intentions and honesty. I will work with you to my highest capacity to achieve your goals and help you grow. Please consider me as your tutor as I will give you my all.
