I base my teaching along the ABRSM guidelines, and also apply the Suzuki method to beginners. Students can be of any age, at any level, and I will personally tailor each lesson plan to fit each student's strengths and weaknesses. I have helped my students pass their ABRSM exams with top marks and distinctions and can guide you to achieve the same results. I will help you achieve your personal goals, whatever they may be, and push you towards improvement whilst enjoying learning music!
I am a violinist based in London, and currently perform with established orchestras such as: the BBC Symphony, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Wales National Opera.
I attended a specialist music school from the age of 10, and started attending the RCM at age 18 with a full scholarship. I have a BMus with First Class Honours, a Masters of Performance with Distinction and an Artist Diploma degree. I have performed in venues such as the Wigmore Hall, the Brighton Dome, Kumho Arts Hall and the Menuhin Hall as a soloist, and was selected to participate in the LSO and BBC Symphony Orchestra String Schemes.
I have been private teaching since 2012, and have also worked as an assistant in various Sparks and Outreach workshops. I completed the Professional Skills Teaching module in my second year of my Bachelor degree.

REVIEWS
Three varied pieces by Britten were supplemented by Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante, played with youthful charm by two members of the world famous Yehudi Menuhin School, violinist Anna Lee and viola player Nazli Erdogan.
Lee, clearly a gifted Korean 17-year-old, played with effortless skill and necessary detachment- the worthinghearld.co.uk
