Fun violin and viola lessons for all ages and levels! Fun beginners Piano Lessons!
You may be a complete beginner; or you used to learn the violin as a child and would like to pick it up again; or you have a child who is interested in trying out the violin or the piano... Whatever the situation, I am happy to help! I am based in Woolpit - just outside Bury St Edmunds. Please feel free to get in touch.
Here's a little info about me:
I started teaching at the age of 15. My viola teacher would pass on to me any students he couldn't fit into his schedule. I realised I had a true passion for teaching so I then went on to work at 2 different music schools in Perth (yes I'm an Aussie!) at the same time, teaching violin, viola and piano. When I moved to Indonesia, I taught the violin for 10 years to a whole variety of nationalities from age 3 up to age 46! I have since been teaching in the UK at the Mick Jagger Centre where I run both private lessons as well as group lessons.
Tutoring Approach: My first violin teacher was a great inspiration to me and he made me fall in love with the violin. I really enjoyed playing the violin until I changed schools and suddenly found myself learning from a really boring and strict teacher! My interest soon faded and I begged my parents to let me quit the violin. Luckily they didn't let me give up and I eventually started lessons with another fun and inspiring teacher who made learning the violin fun. This difference in teachers made me realise that if the teacher is having fun and is passionate about what they do, then the student will follow.
I teach all styles of violin, viola and piano, from classical to folk to rock! For my younger students, I involve a lot of games and we have a lot of fun. I also love teaching adults - whether you learnt as a child and would like to pick the violin back up again, or you are a complete beginner, I am more than happy to help. I have taken many students through ABRSM exams with great results so if that is the path you choose to take then I would love to guide you through. Or if you just want to try out different styles on the violin then we can do that too!
With all my students, I find out what their goals are and together we find a way that gets them there. I am a friend to all of my students and want to help them get to where they want to be :)
