I am an Ex-professional London Orchestral violin player with 15 years experience playing with some of the best orchestras in the country including the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as well as performing solo and chamber concerts.

I have taught all ages from 4 up to 75 - and all levels from beginner up to advanced and college/university entrance level including Grade 8 preparation and preparation for music college entrance. I specialise in intermediate-advanced violinists and have an unusually in-depth knowledge and expertise in teaching violin technique due to my own extended training and study with five , internationally recognized violinists/teachers.
I have a 100% pass rate for entering students for ABRSM exams over 30 years with the majority of my students achieving merit or distinctions in their exams.

I have been CRB checked.
