Teaching Experience
Past teaching experience for me includes:
- Being the musical director and lead violinist of my own contemporary strings group in Birmingham with 3 violinists and a cellist, playing from a wide repertoire, with music from classical to film soundtracks.
- Giving 1 to 1 tutoring with other violinists. I have helped students with ABRSM exam pieces and pieces they may be working on in orchestras and bands.
- I can also play piano and have played the piano accompaniment for other violinists before. This can be useful for violinists who need a teacher who can also play piano accompaniments for them in their violin exams.
