never too late_png.jpg

I teach adults high-quality online private instrumental music and music theory lessons for £45 per hour.

  • It's never too late to learn / relearn an instrument!

  • I am qualified to teach classical / jazz / folk PIANOVIOLIN, DOUBLE BASS and MUSIC THEORY plus exam grades (once the student is fully prepared), to both BEGINNERS or ADVANCED students.

  • I believe in facilitating a lifelong LOVE of music, and that learning and playing are about ENJOYMENT, SELF-EXPRESSION, TRANSFORMATION, CURIOSITY, and DEVELOPING INDEPENDENCE AS A MUSICIAN.

  • I create lesson plans, worksheets and original compositions tailored to the unique skills and abilities of the student.

  • I incorporate new techniques, research and technologies into my teaching.

  • I encourage students to become WELL ROUNDED MUSICIANS from the perspective of a multi-instrumentalist (including correct posture, listening, reading, relearning an instrument, composition, improvisation, performance, and the healing aspects of music).

  • Check out what my students think of my teaching, by visiting the TESTIMONIALS link on this website.

Gemma is the best violin teacher! Always supportive, her lessons are tailored to the pupil’s specific needs and tastes. Areas of weakness are identified and a plan of action developed and sympathetically implemented, while never forgetting that learning an instrument is meant to be a pleasurable experience.
