Violin Lessons in Cambridge England

The only reason for playing music, as a musician, is the moment in which you play it. Before the music there is silence, after the music there is only the memory of it. All that matters is making that moment as whole, complete, and expressive as possible.

My aim as a teacher is simply to enable you to achieve the most pleasure from that moment, by giving you the skills to express yourself to your maximum potential, leaving you with the enjoyment, and memory, of a tune well played, and the desire to play again.

I have over 15 years experience as a traditional fiddle player, having played music with acoustic groups, folk rock, alternative rock groups and Morris sides, as well as a lot of time playing in traditional Irish sessions. My approach is informal and based around giving the student as much help as possible in their aims as a musician. The focus is not on teaching for Grades or competition but on enjoying music to the maximum level of a players capability. Your feedback is essential in my ability to teach you so I always welcome questions and aim to set goals and tasks you will enjoy, but that further your ability and knowledge in the world of music.
