Traditional Irish music for fiddle and mandolin - all levels. Dance music, slow airs and Irish Baroque.

From 72 € /h

I take all students from beginner to experienced musicians (who often need coaching in deportment and/or bowing technique) and encourage proper traditional Irish style.

I teach aurally and written music using enough music theory to pass Irish state examinations in either TTCT (traditional) all levels, or up to RICM (classical) to level 4.

While keeping lessons lighthearted and fun the idea is to quickly build up a repertoire of tunes that allow the learner to 'sit-in' on sessions as quickly as possible while also learning how to learn so one can pick up tunes easily.
I myself have 7 All Ireland medals stretching from 1971 to 2001.

Extra information

I use WhatsApp or Zoom and having access to a printer would be a distinct advantage.
Having one's own instrument and an App/tuner to tune with would be very useful.

About Me

I've taken part in concerts, competitions & fundraisers from an early age - mostly as a musician or as the organiser of small events and simply love working with people.
Being involved in teaching (dinghy-sailing, archery & music) means I'm well used to dealing with people to motivate and help them see and develop a different outlook on life while learning essential life skills. I've always been considered a 'people-person' and have always enjoyed trying to bring people (young and old) to their full potential be it through music, outdoor activities or simply how to feel good about themselves. I believe the best way to each is to stimulate a spark for learning in the pupil and to nurture that spark into a flame of the love of learning that will outlast any school.

I'm a musician (mostly Irish baroque and traditional music) and a bow-maker for medieval war-bows (longbows) and give talks on the life and times of medieval archers.
I have a license to sail (commercially) all boats up to 20 meters and an advanced PADI diving licence and enjoy driving my Deauville 650cc motorbike.

I enjoy walking in nature and regularly take people with me on lead nature-walks, with a special interest in bat-walks and socio-historic trails.
I consider myself a life-long learner.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been a teacher in one capacity or another since I started helping out at the local music school as a teenager, and when in my twenties travelling Europe in a group I regularly gave conversational classes in the colleges we were performing in, and then also in Amsterdam University, where friends were taught. They, in fact encouraged me to take a TEFL Diploma course, and from then on, I have regularly taught privately, in the Netherlands or in Ireland, and for five years at the Youghal International School, Co Cork, Ireland.

I've also had experience teaching in (observed) classes in E.Germany, Hungary and BDR, before returning to Ireland where I've taught formally in primary, secondary and post secondary schools.

2000 - 2014: Managing and promoting our accommodation and music school while running it in a sustainable way, we won the E.U. Flower award, one of 125 in the world. Also short-listed for Tourism Business Challenge 2010. 2014 Green Innovation & Future Technology award for Outstanding Contribution to Sustainable Tourism; University of Bangor, Wales, UK. Glenribbeen Eco Lodge was awarded 4 petals (2010) in the Portuguese 5-Petal Eco Accommodation Scheme as recognition for our continuing work on developing Ireland as an eco-friendly accommodation destination.

I also take people on nature walks - with a special interest in bats, and I teach music, and medieval archery and simply love getting people to try to reach their full potential. Even whilst working as a tour guide I loved to teach songs to my guests as we travelled.

Though I've only recently passed the CELTA, I already have years of experience teaching in the classroom, both formally and informally.

English for the seasoned traveller. From the common phrases to the complications of a medical emergency on tour.

36 € /h

As many people wish to learn English to enhance their travel experiences I've designed this course around the language one may expect to encounter and use as one meets and greets people in various situations, from the airport to greeting the Tour Director, the hotel or attractions one visits.
As an experienced tour guide and teacher I have designed the classes to start with some ordinary situations where we will role-play and then start working up to more complicated and adventurist situations that are challenging but within the scope of the student. As a First Responder I have witnessed many situations where travellers needed to be comforted or even hospitalised. Practical advice, and knowledge of some specialised terms will be useful.
I tend to be light on homework but insist that it is completed, otherwise the class is held up. Regular feedback will help the learner feel how they are getting along and I believe strongly on encouragement and l will act positively when mistakes are made - the classroom IS the place to be allowed to make mistakes.

English as a Second Language lower intermediate to Business English.

34 € /h

English has become the lingua franca of much of the world and has become hugely important in the IT world.
I have dealt with mostly teenagers and young adults over the years preparing for exams or in summer schools but I now prefer to concentrate on business, and conversational English.
Having recently completed the CELTA training (entirely on line with real students from Japan to Brazil) I like to follow a structured approach to lessons and have become very adept at using Zoom to teach with, though I am rather looking forward to get back into the classroom and teach in person.

My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life.
I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University.
Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of teaching students from diverse nationalities and backgrounds. I have worked with students from various schools, including local Hong Kong schools, Hong Kong International School, Kowloon Junior International School, and the French International School etc.

I am adaptable and capable of teaching students with different personalities, whether they are highly energetic or more reserved. My primary goal is to instill a passion for music in the next generation, helping students not only grow as musicians but also as confident performers.

I have guided many students to success in ABRSM exams, from Grade 1 to Grade 8, including the latest online exam format. My students consistently achieve excellent results, and feedback from past clients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing how music has boosted their confidence and performance skills.

I tailor my lessons using a variety of books based on each student’s level and needs. Please feel free to contact me for more information or inquiries.

I will be available all the time, and if you have any questions or want help with your practice, you can send me a video of your playing or send me your question, and I will respond immediately so you don't have to wait for the next class to get my help.

Hello everyone!

My musical journey began when I was just four years old, starting with the piano. Later, at the age of seven, I eagerly embraced the violin, adding its enchanting melodies to my repertoire.

I achieved a professional mid-grade in both piano and violin. Fueled by my love for music, I moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands, to pursue a Bachelor's degree at Codarts University of Arts. Under the guidance of teachers like Natasha Morozova and Hed Yaron Meyerson, I refined my skills and nurtured my artistic vision.

After completing my Bachelor's studies, I continued my musical exploration in Codarts' Master's program. Alongside my classical training, I've always been intrigued by the therapeutic potential of music. In 2023, I earned certification in Music Therapy, expanding my horizons and deepening my connection to the healing power of music.

In collaboration with my colleagues, I am member of the Olga Trio. Our mission is to highlight the works of women composers throughout history. Our debut performance at the IV Concurso Nacional de Interpretación de Obras de Mujeres Compositoras was a proud moment, affirming our commitment to amplifying diverse voices in music.

Beyond classical music, I've always been drawn to exploring different genres and styles. As a member of the Jong Metropole Orchestra in 2023, I relished the opportunity to collaborate with musicians from diverse backgrounds, pushing the boundaries of traditional musical conventions.

In every note I play and every project I undertake, my passion for music shines through. It's a journey of exploration, growth, and discovery, and I'm excited to continue sharing my love for music with the world.

I've been teaching during the last 8 years. I am flexible with the students needs and I embrace fun and creativity in my lessons.

These music classes provide comprehensive instruction in violin, bass guitar, and essential music theory, designed to build strong technical skills and musical understanding. Students receive hands-on guidance in proper technique, tone production, posture, and instrument-specific skills while developing confidence in performance.

In addition to instrumental training, students learn fundamental and advanced music theory concepts, including rhythm, notation, scales, key signatures, intervals, and basic harmony. Lessons emphasize connecting theory to practical playing, helping students understand how music works while applying it directly to their instrument.

Classes are tailored to meet individual skill levels, from beginners learning foundational techniques to more advanced students refining their musicianship. Through structured practice, repertoire study, and performance-based learning, students develop discipline, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for music.
