Hi there, fellow violinist, My name is Crispian. I have been playing the violin for more than 25 years. I studied to become an orchestral musician at the University of Cape Town in South Africa and am currently working towards a LTCL via Trinity College London. I hold a distinction in violin for grade 8 via Trinity College and a merit in music theory for grade 6 via Trinity College. About the lesson I teach the Trinity College/ABRSM String Syllabus for violin. I also use the Paul Rolland teaching method to develop the necessary skills you need to be able to play the violin well. I approach each technical skill a violinist needs with as much attention to detail and development exercises to build on and strengthen each skill. For students who have had previous education I generally assess their skill on the violin by letting them perform a piece so that I can gauge where to start their training from. I teach beginner/intermediate and advanced violin players up to grade 8 in violin. I believe that learning music should be fun and enjoyable at the same time. I am super excited to be your tutor and help you along your journey to become the best musician through my training and your practice efforts...
