Violin lessons

Based on the Gold Coast, I am a highly experienced professional violinist and teacher with a distinguished career in both performance and music education. I have held leading positions in orchestras across Australia and have taught in the music departments at the University of Tasmania, the University of Adelaide, and the University of Western Australia.

I have extensive experience teaching the AMEB syllabus and am also an experienced AMEB examiner, giving me a thorough understanding of examination standards, assessment expectations, and long-term student development. My teaching incorporates Colourstrings and Kodály methodologies, particularly for beginner students, with a strong emphasis on aural training as the foundation for secure technique, musical literacy, and expressive playing.

My students have achieved success in local, national, and international competitions, and ensembles under my direction have been finalists in the national Strike A Chord competition run by Musica Viva. I am deeply committed to providing violin tuition at the highest level and actively facilitate ensemble playing to develop musicianship, collaboration, and confidence in performance.
