Personal Description:
I am an active performing musician, a passionate teacher and a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and North London Conservatoire. My methodology is loosely based on the Kodály-method of musical training, in which the general musicality and inner ear of the student is cultivated as a priority right from the first lesson. I combine this with the rigour and high standard of teaching I was fortunate enough to get in order to produce pupils who are technically proficient but crucially who play out of enjoyment for their instrument and a love for music.
Tutoring Experience:
I have many years experience in teaching and performing Classical music, teaching at the North London Conservatoire, Queen Elizabeth's School, leading the London Lawyers' Symphony Orchestra and National Youth String Orchestra. I have taught over 70 pupils violin and piano, as well as taking orchestral and chamber music rehearsals, teaching musicianship and conducting various youth orchestras.
