Christiana

I`m a busy freelance London based violinist and passionate teacher. I have over ten years of teaching experience and teach in three schools as well as privately. I have received top training at the Royal Academy of Music and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and have a BMus (hons) degree, and a master`s degree. I am confident teaching students of all ages and offer lessons on violin, and piano.

Availability: I have am available on Monday evenings, Thursday evenings, Friday evenings and on weekends although this may vary due to performance commitments, I will always give at least 24 hours notice.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: I started teaching at the age of 16, and have the LTCL diploma in instrumental teaching. My passion for teaching grew in my family home as a child. My Mother is a professional violinist and I watched her teaching and absorbed her methods. Currently I see about 50 pupils per week ranging from the ages of 4 to 29 years old. I have also coached violin on the Animate Orchestra course, and my string quartet has done children`s workshops in the Greenwich Borough. I have my own YouTube channel `The Violin Pedagogue` which focuses on teaching pupils to play without tension using methods that are influenced by Alexander Technique, Dalcroze and the Kato Havas method.
As a performer I freelance with symphony orchestras and groups in London and have played in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal Festival Hall and have performed at the X Factor finals.
