About
I am a highly experienced and versatile professional violinist with an extensive background in classical performance and education. My diverse repertoire ranges from classical to current pop and I enjoy playing as first violin for Fevers Candlelight productions for the Kavolini quartet and Chaos Collective.
Alongside performing, I have a strong commitment to music education and have enjoyed coaching the new generation. I have coached string groups at Pro Corda, individual violin teaching and provided early musicianship classes in schools. Professionally I enjoyed educational outreach projects such as collaborations with the Philharmonia Orchestra on the Science Museum’s "Universe of Sound" and working on film scores.
With a career built on musical excellence and a passion for fostering the next generation of musicians, I hope to inspire and educate through performance, teaching, and most importantly kindling a strong passion for music.

Services
Early Years Musicianship classes
Starting from reception through to year 2 my Early Years Musicianship classes target improving focus, active listening and teamwork through playful learning. I introduce the children to the early stages of music theory which gives them a sound understanding of rhythm and pitch.
Violin Tuition
I can teach all levels from beginners to post grade 8. Groups are possible in schools depending on similar skills level.
Performance
Please enquire about your event’s performance needs. I can provide background or concert performances depending on availability and group requirements. These can be quartet or solo performances.
