About John

First and foremost I try to provide a welcoming environment, and calm constructive feedback throughout. I teach the violin as I learned: using a traditional approach which emphasises sound technique and sheet music reading skills from the outset. I use grades, scales, and etudes as a progressive framework to guide you through all stages of your musical development.

I am also open to incorporating appropriately challenging music of your choice into our lessons, which can range from standard classical repertoire to arrangements of popular music. I also love to teach transcription and arrangement, either as part of a course of violin lessons or as a standalone pursuit.

My main passion is ensemble playing. I have over 20 years of experience in ensembles ranging from simple duets to string quartets and full orchestras. Joining an ensemble is great for your playing and for connecting with new people, and I can't recommend it enough!
