 Musictheory (teacher)

 Viola (teacher)

 Violin (teacher)

Beginner or Advanced Violin/Viola lessons.

I have 8 years experience teaching both privately and in schools.

Graduated from University of Madrid with a Bachelor of Music in violin and a Postgraduate Diploma from the Royal Academy of Music of London.

I am a firm believer in teaching great technique, but can't see why you can't have fun doing it! :)

I can teach for coming up exams (ABRSM) or for the pure enjoyment of learning music. I can also help children as a practice tutor.

Availability: available most afternoons and weekends

Willing to travel: 10 miles
