Violin and Viola lessons in London
I am based in South East London (SE23) and teach violin and viola at students' homes.
Violin and Viola lessons in Kent (Ditton nr. Maidstone)
I also teach violin and viola at my home in Kent roughly one day a fortnight in Ditton near Maidstone.
I teach all ages and standards and can prepare students for the TrinityGuildhall and ABRSM exams. However, if students just want to work to their own targets or play for fun that is fine too!
I perform regularly as a chamber musician (Duo Figaro; D'Avanzo Piano Trio; D'Avanzo Quartet) and in orchestras (ENO, RAM orchestras) so am able to offer a high standard of practical guidance. I am qualified with a BMus (hons) performance degree from the Royal Northern College of Music and an LRSM performance diploma. I am currently studying for a Masters degree at the Royal Academy of Music where I have completed the LRAM teaching course and have also taken Alexander Technique lessons, the skills from which I incorporate in my lessons when necessary (in order to avoid aches and pains!). I also teach theory as part of practical lessons as students progress.
Potential pupils should be aware that it may not always be possible to keep to a regular time each week due to my performance commitments, but every effort will be made to fulfil the agreed quota of lessons.
Lessons cost £30 per hour and £20 for 30 minutes. Travel expenses may be requested in certain cases.

Instruments
Do you already own your own instrument? Although I am unable to provide students with instruments I can advise on where best to purchase or hire. It will not be possible to start lessons until you have an instrument - practise makes perfect!!
