Teodora - West Greenwich - Violin

Experience

- What kind of experience do you have?

I started teaching at the age of 18, and have taught a huge range of pupils, from the very young to the 40+ year beginners. I often prepare pupils for Assosiated Board Exams and Trinity Music Exams(Grades 1-8), A level practical exams, as well as teaching those who just want to learn to play for their own pleasure.
As a professional violinist, I have had the pleasure to play for names such as the award - winning artist Emeli Sande, Vivenne Westwood, Graham Norton, Bastile and HRH Prince of Wales, to name but a few. I also run my own quartet The Lady Godivas ((concealed information)

I was born and braught up in Bulgaria until the age of 11, when I was scouted by the late professor Yfrah Neeman, and given a full scholarship at the prestigeous specialist music school Wells Cathedral. While at Wells, and later at the Guildhall School of Music (BMus) I studied with Catherine Lord, who was one of the few and highly elite students of Ivan Galamian (whose students also included Itzack Perlman).
