About the lesson

I have a real passion for music and that's why I would love to help inspire and guide new musicians on their quest to learn the violin. Age is irrelevant when it comes to my lessons but the most important thing is that the student comes with a real incentive to learn.

Everyone's musical journey is different and many people decide to learn an instrument for a different reason. Therefore, the regular structure for a lesson would very much differ from person to person. For example, beginners would mostly focus on sight-reading, proper form and technique. However, someone with a slight musical background could begin by learning pieces that they want to play and I would guide them with how to encompass the piece better and make slight adjustments to their technique along the way.
When it comes to young children, I've worked in nursery and primary schools with ages from 3-7. The most important thing is that they have fun during the lessons and gain a real respect for music early on. Technique, theory and sight-reading are still incredibly important but what's most important is that the child is having an enjoyable time while learning.

I have a strong musical background as I've been playing violin and piano for 14 years, I also have a great understanding of music theory. I've performed in multiple concerts of sizes of up to 5000 attendees. I was also established enough to have achieved a full music scholarship to a performing arts secondary school and college. At GCSE I achieved an A* in music and I would be more than happy to help GCSE music students with their music theory and/or composition piece.

I have a real love of music and I'd love to spread this love to new musicians across London. Again, it doesn't matter if the student is 5 or 55, music knows no age. Please get in touch if you'd like to try out a free 30 min lesson!

About Xanthe

I am a student in London with 14 years experience of playing the violin and piano. I have a music scholarship to a well-known performing arts school in London. I have been awarded multiple times by my school and music competitions for my engagement and passion for the art. I have been a teaching assistant for young violinists in my school orchestra (specifically around the ages of 11-14) but I would love to lend my expertise to young musicians or anyone with a keen interest of picking up an instrument.
