Hello! I'm an inspired and deeply committed cello teacher, whose primary goal is to empower pupils to express themselves and enjoy learning.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught cello privately and at music summer courses, both in the UK and abroad, since 2012. I have extensive experience teaching in the Suzuki method as well as Colourstrings and have spent considerable time learning from teacher trainers of those schools of teaching. For 2 years I was Instrumental Tutor of Cello at the Opera North 'In Harmony' Program in Leeds.

I also enjoy a successful performing career, which complements and inspires my teaching. I have performed at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and with many ensembles, including the Orchestra of Opera North, the Cincinnati Ballet Orchestra and BBC Philharmonic for live broadcast on BBC radio 3.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are engaging, fun, and productive. As a third generation music teacher with over 7 years of experience, I understand that the key to successful teaching is positivity, good communication and consistency. Whether your goals are to complete ABRSM exams, join an orchestra, play a specific piece, or anything else, I'm happy to guide you!

I believe that all people have musical potential and can enjoy the benefits of learning an instrument. I have experience working with students with physical disabilities as well as learning challenges, and have taught students whose ages range from 6- 60+! I work to tailor my teaching to the needs of each student.

My studio is located in the East End of Glasgow with plenty of room for parents and guests on the sofa. It makes for a peaceful and productive space for learning.
Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Hope to hear from you soon!
