About Ivy
I am a violin teacher with 8 years of experience and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Violin Performance. I have taught over 300 students from young beginners to advanced performers preparing for professional examinations and orchestral auditions. My teaching focuses on bowing technique, vibrato, intonation, phrasing, and developing a genuinely expressive playing style. I prepare students for ABRSM and Trinity examinations with an excellent record of results at all grade levels. I offer orchestral and ensemble preparation for students joining youth orchestras and school string groups. My approach is patient, methodical, and always adapted to each student's individual pace and goals. Let me help you develop a strong expressive violin technique and a lifelong love of this beautiful instrument.

My violin lessons are carefully structured to develop strong healthy technique and genuine musical understanding simultaneously from the very first lesson. Every session starts with a posture and bow hold review followed by a warm-up of scales and bowing exercises to prepare body and mind for focused productive practice. I place strong emphasis on bow technique from the earliest stages because it most directly impacts tone quality and musical expression at every level of playing. Intonation is developed through systematic scale work, careful listening, and consistent tuning technology use alongside teacher guidance throughout. Students working towards ABRSM or Trinity examinations follow the full required syllabus with regular mock assessments and detailed feedback on every examined component. Advanced students work on shifting, vibrato depth, double stopping, and developing a personal expressive interpretive voice. Backing tracks develop ensemble awareness and musical sensitivity throughout the course. For orchestral students I provide dedicated sight-reading coaching and ensemble skills development. Clear specific feedback is given after every performance so students always have actionable goals to work towards. My goal is for every student to develop a confident technique and enduring love of the violin.
