Personal Description:

Experienced and friendly cello teacher available to take on learners of all ages and stages, offering weekly lessons with a flexible timetable. Lessons can be purely for fun or to prepare for an audition, exam, or concert. I am empathetic, and available to adapt to my students individual needs to maximise potential and enjoyment. Available for peripatetic teaching (I go to you) in and around the East Finchley area, or online via Zoom from anywhere. I have recently graduated from a Masters of Music at the Royal Academy of Music, and am interested in off canon repertoire in solo and chamber music.

Tutoring Experience:

My interest in teaching began when I participated in multiple outreach projects at Trinity Laban, my passion is for music education to be fun and accessible for all- having myself been a beneficiary of many young musician schemes in the past. It is always rewarding to see a student make their first sound on the cello, and even more so to see a student further commit to making a sound that they find enjoyable. I have experience of teaching interactive musicianship workshops to primary-aged children in classrooms, as well as beginner cellists in smaller groups.

Tutoring Approach:

I use material from Suzuki cello books and Cello Time Joggers/Runners amongst others (I am always happy to find new repertoire), but also believe that improvising -weather in a group or solo- is one of the most important skills a young musician can have. I have experience with the Kodaly method, and my current situation as a student at The Royal Academy of Music means that I will be able to develop my knowledge of these teaching methods further. My priority is to create a personalised learning plan for my students, that is enjoyable, rewarding, and informative.
