Anna Colville

I am a professional violist and violinist performing and teaching in Brisbane, Australia with over eight years' experience teaching violin and viola, beginners to advanced and students of all ages. I have recently returned from five years' teaching and performing in London, where I enjoyed teaching both private students of all ages and groups in primary and secondary schools.

My love of music began with the piano and violin which I started learning at three years old. Studying violin, viola and chamber music at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane, I received my Master of Music on viola in 2005. I have since performed with orchestras and chamber groups throughout Australia and Europe.

My aim as a teacher is to work with my students to make the learning process as enjoyable as possible, ensuring that technique and musicality work together to enhance a performance. There is of course hard work and tenacity required to learn an instrument, but it should also be a labour of love.
