I am a professional violinist, violist, and orchestra conductor with over 10 years of teaching experience! I've taught every level of music education, beginner through advanced and young children to the "young at heart" adults. I specialize in helping students improve their playing technique, aural skills, music-reading, and tone quality. Whether you're someone trying to audition for Music Degree programs or picking up an instrument for fun, I try to tailor the lesson experience to what will benefit the students and their goals most. I look forward to meeting you =)
Informations supplémentaires
Students are responsible for bringing their own instrument, music assignments, and using functional technical equipment (for online classes).

Présentation
I am a conservatory trained professional Violinist, Violist, and Orchestra Conductor with over 10 years of teaching experience. I've taught hundreds of students at all levels, beginner through advanced, young and old alike, in private, group, and ensemble lessons. I believe music is a powerful thing for people, and it becomes even more special when you can unlock your creative and expressive potential through playing an instrument. Whether you want to go earn a degree in music someday, play in a community ensemble, or just want to pick up an instrument for fun, I will work with you to achieve your goals. I like to keep my lessons positive while also holding students accountable to the goals we discuss. When I'm not performing, I like to study philosophy, take long walks in the park, and travel the world! I look forward to meeting you and starting this musical adventure together!

Hi there,

I'm a professional viola and violin teacher, teaching in person and online, in English, German or Russian.

As well as instrumental teaching and ensemble coaching of all ages and levels over the last 12 years, I’ve led numerous professional workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ in London and have taught on the Senior and Primary Arpeggione Viola Courses. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I participated in their conferences across Europe, including at the European Parliament in 2018.

I also prepare students for music exams, auditions and competitions at all levels, and work with them on music theory, aural and sight reading skills, and can accompany them the piano.

Alongside my teaching I perform internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, including at Kings Place London, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Philharmonie Berlin. I am a Hattori Foundation and Villa Musica artist, winner of the Małopolska competition, the Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition.

I hold a masters degree with first class honours from the class of Tabea Zimmermann at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, and Bachelors with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, where I began in the primary department almost 20 years ago.

I'm an avid chamber musician, and am a founding member of Ensemble Textura, a string ensemble based in Berlin, performing renowned works alongside experimental arrangements and lesser known masterpieces. I've also performed with Tabea Zimmermann at the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Gary Hoffman and Antje Weithaas at Kronberg Academy’s ‘Chamber Music Connects the World’, with Claudio Martínez Mehner at Encuentro de Santander, and regularly participate in the Open Chamber Music Seminar at Prussia Cove.
