Welcome to
Hi! My name is Jazmine Holness and I provide professional violin lessons to students of all ages and abilities in the Plymouth area.
I think that learning any instrument should be a fun process, so I will always make sure to try and keep my lessons as relaxed as possible but still filled with information. This way we get to improve our skills on the violin all the while enjoying the journey as we go.
I tend to find students learn better and retain more information when learning in a relaxed and comfortable environment. All the lessons we do will be tailored specifically to suit you and your musical goals and needs. I understand we all want different things from music and as such I will always teach you songs/styles you enjoy.
Get in touch to find out more.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about booking your first Violin lesson.
I have a real passion for all things music, but especially the violin. I feel its never too late or too early to start and as such my lessons can cater for all students of any ages and any ability level. Whether you've never played a violin before or you've been playing for years and just want to move on to the next step, my lessons cater for all.
I have found over the years that many teachers try and teach music that the student isn't interested in, and I feel this is a sure fire way to make the student lose interest. Rest assured we will always be studying and working with material that you enjoy, by the artists or specific styles that you enjoy the most.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I take pride in offering lessons that cater for all students. We all have different aims and goals, and we are often all at slightly different stages in our musical journey.
Fiddle Time Joggers, Grade Lessons offered
I am a very passionate musician and am very grateful for being able to play the violin, a skill I am really excited to share with you. I'll make an effort to get to know you and will adapt my lessons to suit your current level, identify weaknesses and then together we will push through and passed them on to the next step.
I hold a Grade 4 ABRSM but I found that I wasn't really enjoying the material too much, so decided to dedicate my time in to learning more complex Violin solos such as Hungarian dance no.5 by Brahms and one of my personal favourites Saint-Saëns, Danse Macabre.
My 1 to 1 lessons are always flexible, I will always listen to you, so if there is a specific song you really wish to study or learn, please let me know and I will always work with you. I'll study the song myself and then I can teach it to you and explain through it as we go.
More complex Songs, Advanced Techniques
I have played the violin since I was 5 years old and still absolutely love it to this day. Its an instrument that allows us to express a variety of emotions and allows us to channel them through the music we play. There's truly nothing more satisfying for me than sitting down and playing some Violin after a long stressful day, and soon you will be able to do this too!
I have been fortunate enough to tour around Europe with the Wandsworth Philharmonic Orchestra visiting places like Prague, Mosel, Roses, Tuscany and many more. The skills I have learnt from this have been invaluable. Not only did it help me grow as a performer on the violin but also as an all round individual musician. I am now ready to pass these things I have learnt on to my students.
I take pride in offering my students the Violin lessons that they want to have, always working with them to ensure they're happy with the material we are working through and that it suits their styles and musical goals. I feel that this is a crucial part in keeping the student interested through some of the more difficult parts of studying an instrument and allows them to grow as a musician.
Here is a list of local music stores for all your musical needs.
Finding violins, strings, resources and everything that goes with playing the violin isn't the easiest task, however, we are fortunate to have a few local music stores that can help you in your every day violin needs.
Sound Unlimited, is a great local music store located 125 Embankment Rd, Plymouth PL4 9JD and here you can find a great selection of instruments including Violins. Very friendly and helpful staff too!
Devon Strings, admittedly this is a drive away in to Devon located 3 Guinea Street, Exeter, Devon, EX1 1BS but this is a great small business you can try for all your violin needs. Very helpful staff with great customer service.
I am a passionate musician who has played the violin since I was 5 years old, eager to share these skills with my students through carefully created violin lessons.
