I aim to inspire and instil confidence in all of my students and to promote a positive and focussed learning experience in all my lessons.

I have been playing Violin for 20 years and I have played in various bands of different genres such as Folk/Rock, Klezmer, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical styles. My style of playing and teaching is eclectic and encompasses various styles taught and influenced by classical teachers, tutors at Leeds Music College and fellow band members and music sessions growing up.

I love collaborating with other musicians from different backgrounds and enjoy performing to audiences where I have performed with a dancer and story-teller producing classical and improvised work in schools, libraries, art galleries and festivals.

As well as performance work, I have taught violin for 9 years teaching adults and children of all ages, preparing them for both exam syllabuses ABRSM and Trinity College London exams and gaining good results 100% pass rate! I predominantly teach online now which I believe allows me to offer more learning support to students via audio recordings, bite size help with practice. My students love this and it really helps them keep on track.

I can provide students with the opportunity to learn popular and folk pieces of music too should they wish. I encourage all students to develop their 'musical ear' and to build up knowledge and confidence. I can also train students to improvise depending on their individual interests and where appropriate I can offer accompaniment on my guitar.

As well as teaching ABRSM classical syllabus, I am also taking on students that want to achieve a grade through the new Trinity Digital Classical Grade exams. This exam allows students to upload their video performances and submit their recordings directly to Trinity remotely, providing students full control than seen in other types of face to face exams.
