Information About Rhiannon - Cardiff teacher

Personal Description:

I am a violinist from Bristol who spent the last few years studying music at the University of Manchester and working as a freelance teacher and performer. I play with my string quartet at concerts and events as well as with other local orchestras and ensembles. I also play with a violin and electronics music duo. In September I will begin a Masters in Violin Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and continue teaching alongside my studies. I am an enthusiastic teacher and my friendly and patient personality allow me to get the best out of every student.

Tutoring Experience:

I have taught in schools and privately since graduating from university and have experience teaching students from age 8 to adults. I have also worked in the practice department of Chetham's School of Music. I am passionate about music education and have taken part in projects with the Hallé orchestra and Piccadilly Symphony Orchestra. I have lots of experience working with complete beginners and, while we will spend lots of time on the basics, you will most likely be playing a piece within the first few lessons.

Tutoring Approach:

Some of my students go through ABRSM exams whilst others chose other goals or learn just for fun! My lessons balance technical work and warm ups with learning pieces and even improvisation and playing duets. You can come to your lessons with pieces you would like to learn or together we can decide together what to work on. Length and frequency of lessons are flexible and can be discussed.
