Experienced with - Suzuki Method + Kodály Method. Exam preparation. Violin and viola.

My approach to teaching also includes improvisation methods for students of all ages to help develop creativity, musicality and tone quality.

Workshops and School Visits available

Improvisation, composition, pop arranging and much more

Performing is very important too. I organize student concerts twice a year, usually a Halloween concert in costumes or Christmas concert, as well as a concert at the end of each school year.

I provide classes and musical arrangements for students to play in ensembles together, from duets and trios to chamber orchestras. Many of my students also perform with the D.Y.O (Dublin Youth Orchestra) and the N.Y.O (National Youth Orchestra).

My students regularly take part in music competitions such as the Feis Ceoil, Newpark Festival and the Kilkenny Cup.

Experienced with group teaching “Violin Project” in primary schools.
