Information About Olivia - Glasgow teacher

Personal Description:

I am a focused and adaptable teacher, who provides tailored teaching approaches to meet my student’s needs whether they are learning for their own enjoyment or preparing to sit exams or grades. I prioritise cultivating understanding and empathy towards my students and am passionate about inspiring them to reach their potential.
I am a freelance woodwind musician and teacher based in Glasgow where, after initial training as a classical oboist in Croatia, I completed my education at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
I play the oboe, cor anglais, flute, clarinet, and saxophone, and have performed both as a soloist and with a variety of orchestras and chamber groups in the UK and across Eastern and Central Europe.

Tutoring Experience:

I have extensive music teaching experience both privately, in private music schools, and in public schools with woodwinds on a one-to-one basis and in group settings, where I use tailored approaches to best meet the needs and ambitions of my students.

Tutoring Approach:

My teaching toolkit includes an accessible fun repertoire alongside more formal pieces, exercises to develop breathing techniques and enhance sight-reading skills, and improvisation as a method to build self-confidence and creativity as a performer.
