About Katie

I have extensive experience teaching the violin, and currently teach group and 1:1 lessons through various organisations as well as my own private teaching practice. I am passionate about teaching and am currently studying Music Performance and Education at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

I learned the violin from an early age having grown up in a musical family. I then went to study Music at The University of Sheffield, where I led the University of Sheffield Symphony Orchestra. I've also had the pleasure of playing with the National Youth Orchestra of Wales.

I love all kinds of music and in my spare time attend pop gigs as well as Classical concerts. Engaging students with music is the most important aspect of teaching for me...the violin means nothing without it!

About the lesson

I thoroughly enjoy teaching both groups and one-to-one lessons. I aim to make lessons as engaging and dynamic as possible, whilst offering challenge and fun in equal measure. I find that making lessons interactive as possible by demonstrating on my instrument and playing alongside pupils really helps engaging the students. I often include activities such as playing a note and asking the pupil to match my pitch or sound quality, as well as playing a scale or piece together, or duets, to really develop aural skills.

I endeavour to strike a balance as much as possible between teaching technical skills and musicality, as of course there cannot be one without the other when learning an instrument. Lessons are a mixture of teaching and demonstrating correct posture, finger patterns or body movements, and teaching and engaging a child with rhythm, pitch and melody (which can be done through different means), and then combining the two of these together. I am a firm believer in tackling one aspect at a time in lessons and gradually combining it with another aspect of playing. For example, if a student is finding a melody difficult to play, I will suggest putting the instrument to one side and singing the melody, or clapping the rhythm, before gradually approaching it step by step on the instrument.

I can combine my patience, empathy and passion for working with people to provide excellent violin tuition to anyone willing to learn. I am kind and empathetic as well as firm when required, and am able to adapt and approach each student uniquely to allow them to thrive and develop in a supportive, caring environment.
