The 3 vibrato techniques will be looked at with exercises to work each of the following: >Arm >Hand/Wrist >Finger Vibrato movements with metronome, gradually increasing the speed. Continuos vibrato will be covered. Pupils will experiment with their vibrato, explore sections in pieces that require it and how much to use. Solutions to vibrato problems e.g. to cure a wide vibrato- practising in 5ths. Co-ordination of vibrato and bow will be key to achieve more tonal variety.

Hello,
I come from a musical family- in fact my parents met at the Welsh National Opera as professional violinists! Their passion for music rubbed off on me and I took up the violin age 3!
I have been playing ever since.
I love teaching and performing. I have a master's degree and BA in violin performance from TrinityLaban, where I learned with Michael Bochmann MBE. I teach individually, in groups and direct youth orchestras for music services across London.
I studied the harp at Wells Cathedral School with Ruth Faber, and at TrinityLaban with Gabriella Dall'olio. I enjoy teaching the Harp in London and on Outschool.
My main aim is to give pupils the necessary skills in an enthusiastic and fun way, so they can acquire the educational and wellbeing benefits from learning an instrument.
Thanks for your interest in my lessons. Reviews
