As a teacher:
I am a mobile Violin and Piano teacher with years of experience and I can travel to your home to teach. I now also do online lessons via Zoom. I also teach at Radnor House and Shrewsbury House School.
I charge £25 for 30 minutes,
£35 for 45 minutes,
£42 for 1 hour and
£56 for 1.5 hours
Online lessons - discounted**
Please note that I only take on Violin beginners aged 4-8 due to the teaching method I use. I teach Piano beginners from the age of 5 to 16.
Approach to music tuition:
- I am happy to teach anyone any style of music, once the basic essential techniques/skills have been learnt.
- I use the Trinity syllabus, up to Grade 8 for those who want to take exams. The majority of my pupils (80%+) achieve high merits or distinctions in their graded exams and I have a 100% pass rate. I believe that this is because I make sure that each student is extremely prepared, comfortable and confident before they are entered for each exam and they know exactly what to expect.
- I also help prepare pupils for auditions (including scholarship auditions), music festivals and concerts.
- I teach my pupils as individuals and make sure they get their own tailored tuition suitable to their needs and what they want to achieve.
- I teach beginner violin pupils using a mixture of the Suzuki method/repertoire and a more traditional method so that they develop a good ear but don't fall behind with reading music.
- I make sure that technique is taught and embedded from the very first lesson. I find that this helps a great deal, particularly with violin - where a pleasant sound eventually becomes apparent, but only when the correct technique has been taught from the beginning.
- I set specific and achievable goals for my pupils and try to make my lessons fun and rewarding, no matter what age group. I sometimes challenge certain students, but never force anyone to do anything too far outside their comfort zone.
- I am also a specialist teacher for pupils wanting to learn piano or keyboard who are on the ASD spectrum. Over the years, I have developed my lessons and adapted my teaching approach to the child and their individual needs. I make sure that they are learning at a pace they feel comfortable with.
- I teach composition and improvisation within my lessons.
- I am always happy to help guide parents about how to help with practice at home as I believe we are a team. I encourage parents/childcarers of children between the ages of 4 to 6 to sit in with them in lessons every so often during the first few months.
- I encourage the use of technology to help students learn; to listen to music played on their instrument regularly, so that they know what the end result can be if they continue to practice and focus.
- I also encourage the use of music and note-learning apps which I have found greatly speed up the process of learning to read music and in turn, make the experience more enjoyable
- I am also a GCSE music tutor for those who need extra help with their music GCSE. I can also do a full check of A-Level and GCSE music composition coursework for any mistakes that an examiner will pick up on.
About Me:
I have been passionate about music from a young age, began playing violin when I was 4 and started piano aged 5.
I've completed a BMus (Hons) Classical Music Degree at Cardiff University and I passed my Grade 8 on Piano and Violin with High Distinction.
I've led several orchestras throughout my life. When I was younger, I was a member of the National Children's Orchestra and The Surrey Youth Orchestra and gained a music scholarship to St Teresa's School, age 11.
I am currently in a string and piano trio - we play at weddings and events around the country. As a session player, I have performed in venues across Europe such as a Prom at The Royal Albert Hall, Glastonbury Festival and at the World Economic Forum in Davos. I am also a media composer and have written music for film and adverts.
I prefer to be initially contacted by email or text message, as I work throughout the day and evenings. If you are enquiring about your child, please let me know the age and level of your son or daughter. Thank you.
**If you would like online lessons via Zoom, I charge full price for the first lesson where I will travel to your house so we can properly meet for a trial (anywhere within Surrey or South East London), then discounted lessons thereafter. Please email me for more details.
