I have been working as a string specialist with a London based music hub in the past nine years, and I have been acting as Head of Instrumental Music Studies throughout the last academic year. As a string specialist, some of my job functions consisted of whole class, small group and one to one viola, violin teaching, conducting string ensembles and leading evening centre orchestras. I am passionate about consistently creating a positive and safe learning environment for pupils, which inspires and motivates all level. I am running a very successful private practice with gifted and talented young violists and violinists in London. Most of them prepare for NCO, RAM and RCM auditions, festivals and both ABRSM and Trinity Exams. I perform with professional orchestras and chamber ensembles on a regular basis too.
