Sophia

Professional, approachable and experienced violin, viola and piano teacher offering one-to-one or group lessons.

I can teach students in the comfort of their own home within Zones 1-3. I`m based in the Hackney area but willing to travel.

I`m happy to teach all ages and abilities in a enjoyable and relaxed manner. I have experience in teaching a wide range of students - from beginners to advanced.

I believe music lessons should be tailored to each individual student with a view to enjoy their musical journey, and progress can be monitored by taking ABRSM exams.
