(4 reviews)

Personal Description:

I am originally from Aberdeenshire but have stayed in Glasgow for 21 years. I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2004 with a BA Scottish Music degree, and am now studying for a Masters in Education at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. (Learning & Teaching in the Performing Arts).
I teach privately, at The Cowal Fiddle Workshop, tutor for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland outreach projects, and I am the author of a violin tutor book.

Tutoring Experience:

I have two decades experience in music education: both privately and employed as a music tutor for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Musicworks projects, teaching Violin, Scottish Fiddle, Musicianship & Groupwork.
Private lessons are tailored to suit individual needs ; many of my pupils choose to sit ABRSM exams, gaining merit & distinction grades; many choose to learn to improve their technique and repertoire, some compete in music competitions.
I have pupils of all ages, backgrounds and needs.

Tutoring Approach:

Everyone is a different and learns differently. I teach pupils to read music, or if the prefer can be taught by ear. I'm pretty easy going and adaptive so we can usually find an approach to work for each individual.
I find learning successfully usually occurs if pupils are enjoying it. I try to find repertoire to suit each person.
Daily practise is recommended.
