Enjoyable and effective violin tuition in and around Glasgow

I have 18 years of playing experience and several years of violin teaching experience across Scotland. I teach primarily from my teaching studio in the centre of Glasgow however I am often able to drive to students in the suburbs of Glasgow.

I have a BMus Honours degree in Violin Performance (2.1) with an endorsement in String Teaching and a Postgraduate Diploma in Performance both from the Royal Consevatoire of Scotland. I hold a current disclosure certificate and I am a member of the European String Teachers Association. My rates are competitive (below musician's union recommendation) at £20 per hour (£13 per 30 mins) and lessons are individually tailored to each student depending on their ability, interests, age, goals etc. I teach students of all ages and abilities (beginners to advanced) in individual lessons. I may be able to organise a group lesson if required.

Currently I have 15 private students ranging from ages 5 to 65. I currently teach for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's MusicWorks project at the Stirling centre based in Dumblane. I  teach for North Lanarkshire Council at Kilsyth Academy, Kilsyth Primary and Chapel Green Primary School. I also teach at Cargilfield Preparatory School in Cramond, Edinburgh. This work includes individual violin tuition, group violin tuition, music theory lessons, pre-instrumental lessons/games and quartet, ensemble and orchestral coaching. I have also taught for Glasgow University at degree level in addition to my current educational university residency with the Viridian Quartet. I have further experience in schools including Williamwood High and Garnock Academy.

My goal is always to provide lessons which are effective and enjoyable. I incorporate aspects of the Kodaly/Suzuki teaching method and students can be prepared for Graded exams and diplomas (ABRSM, Trinity) or I can work with you purely for pleasure. I am happy to teach all musical styles from Classical to Scottish Fiddle and Jazz/modern/pop.
