Emily

I am a graduate of Leeds Conservatoire, where I gained my Graduate Diploma in Jazz and Light Music. I am, however, mainly classical trained, though I am happy to teach most styles. I also have Grade 8 Violin and Grade 8 Theory of Music. I have taught privately for many years, and also in schools, for The Irish Arts Foundation from 2005-2010.

I am happy to teach both primary level and adult learners.

Teaching Experience

I have taught one-to one lessons for over 20 years, and also groups in schools, during my time working with the Irish Arts Foundation 2005-2010

Tutoring Approach

I have a fun and relaxed approach to teaching. I am also happy to teach the exam syllabus (both Trinity and ABRSM) Students can study whatever type of music they wish, classical/rock/pop etc, anything goes really! I also enjoy getting older people involved in music, particularly when they have perhaps thought themselves to be 'too old' to learn something new!

Emily is a brilliant teacher, who has been teaching me how to play the violin, from a complete beginner, for over a year. She is reliable, patient, knowledgeable and able to make you feel enthusiastic about learning the hardest of techniques.

So far so good. Waiting to get face to face first impression. fingers crossed!
