Information About Rosie - York teacher -

(2 reviews)

Personal Description:

I graduated from the University of York with an MA in Music, specialising in Piano Performance. While studying, I held the Accompanist Scholarship for the department for two years, which required me to play for undergraduate and postgraduate recitals, UCAS auditions and masterclasses.

I graduated with BMus Music (Hons) from the University of Hull in 2015. I have a distinction at both ABRSM Grade 8 piano and double bass.

I offer a rental scheme for double basses to allow beginners and students to access the correct size of bass for their needs, without the headache of having to buy and sell a double bass each time the student grows.

Tutoring Experience:

I teach at two independent schools in York in addition to my own private students. I have experience of accompanying exams, recitals, masterclasses, ballet classes and choirs. I play double bass for various orchestras in the North of England in addition to playing keys and bass in shows around Yorkshire.

Tutoring Approach:

I approach teaching in a traditional but flexible way. Lessons are tailored around what the student would like to learn and through their preferred way of learning.

I prefer to take time between exams so students can develop their playing and musical understanding without the constant pressure of examinations, although I’m also happy to teach non exam repertoire.

I am willing to adapt to a student's style of learning and tailor lessons around each individual student.

Ideally 30 minute lessons are best suited but I do have the flexibility for 60 mins.
