    Violin and Viola lessons for beginner - advanced players

    I offer in person and online lessons in violin and viola. I am based in Neukölln, Berlin.

    I have taught violin and viola in the UK for leading national organisations including Opera North, In harmony and Orchestras for All. I have over 10 years of private and school based teaching experience and have taught students from aged 4 to adults. I also ran an outreach music and arts project in the UK delivering music and art workshops in schools and art galleries as well as online, the project was recognised with two national awards from Deutsche Bank and UnLtd. I have led and conducted school string ensembles and set up beginner string programs for Harrogate Music School, Cardiff Young Strings and The Strings Club, Birmingham.

    My teaching style incorporates aspects of Dalcroze and Kodaly methodology as well as improvisation and collaborative composition. I develop a bespoke approach alongside each student to ensure they are able to get the most out of their lessons and make lessons enjoyable. My lessons focus on developing technique and skills required to play music the student has chosen and I incorporate play and games into lessons to enable the most effective learning. I work mostly in classical, improvisation and new music contexts but can provide lessons in all genres.

    Lessons are in English. Regular, irregular and one-off lessons are possible. I teach from beginner-advanced.

    About Me

    I am passionate about music education and providing fun and rewarding lessons for my students. I am always keen to help students learn to play pieces/song which they choose and I aim to create bespoke lessons designed to help each student achieve their goals.

    As a performer I have worked in classical music performing with quartets, orchestras and recording for television and film. In Berlin I have performed with Ensemble United, class-work, Borage and premiered newly composed works for solo viola and viola/cello duo.

    I also perform regularly as an improvising musician and I enjoy bring improvisation into my teaching to help build skills and techniques in a creative and interesting way.

    Education

    I began music lessons at the age of 8 and went on to study as an undergraduate at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with Rose Redgrave I graduated in 2014 and then went on to complete my Masters at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Whilst studying I performed in Masterclasses with Lawrence Power, Garth Knox, Thomas Riebl, Robin Ireland, Emerson Quartet among others. I was also selected for both the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Welsh National Opera placement schemes. Upon graduation from my masters I was awarded the Reverend Paul Bigmore Award for Outreach and The Deutsche Bank Award for Creative Enterprise 2017.

This is very enriching for both the student and the teacher, and it has allowed me to reflect on myself and to learn from it about questions of instrumental technique

    Fun Time Singing Musical Songs with Kids & Adults 💛
    VOCAL lessons are divided into 2 parts - 1) Warmup Exercise and 2) Singing Exercise. We do both parts in every lessons. Ideally we spend every 2-3 sessions for each song. For kids, a 30-min online lesson / 45-min face-to-face lesson would be long enough for their attention. For adults, it's good to start with a 50-min online lesson! Also, we do music appreciation occasionally during the session. Some other learning materials like music videos are applied based on song choices.
