About Megumi

Megumi is an American living in the North Shields/Newcastle area and has been playing classical violin since the age of six. She is a graduate of Los Angeles High School for the Arts (LACHSA) where she served as associate concertmaster in the LACHSA Symphony Orchestra in her final year. As part of her education at LACHSA, Megumi also has a strong background in music theory and has experience in orchestration and musical transcription and arrangement. Megumi attained Certificate of Merit Level Advanced with Distinction since 2007. She has over ten years of experience performing in various settings including orchestral, chamber, and soloing as a freelance violinist in Los Angeles. She has played in a range of venues, including even Disney Concert Hall.

About the lesson

Currently, Megumi is an Upper Strings Tutor at the Glasshouse International Centre for Music. For availability please send her a message.

Megumi has nine years of teaching experience to students of all levels and ages (from ages 4 and up) and she looks forward to working with students to achieve their goal, whether it is to obtain an ABRSM or Trinity College London qualification (up to Grade 8 and beyond), prepare for a competition, or just to play for fun as a hobby. She is keen to involve the student in selecting repertoire because she believes that a student should be uniquely invested in their own practice and improvement. For example, if a student would like to learn the "Game of Thrones" theme to play at a LARP event on either the violin or the piano, Megumi is more than happy to help reach that goal.

For younger students (ages 4-8) Megumi enjoys incorporating games and storytelling during lessons to teach concepts such as notes and rhythm.

Aside from the performance aspect of violin, she values music theory, music appreciation, sightreading, and ear (aural) training. She considers all of these factors vital to the development of any musician. Most of all, Megumi wants to ensure that a student has an enjoyable experience learning an instrument and would like all her students to have a meaningful relationship with music long afterwards!.

Lessons take place at her home or are available online; however, students aged 4-8 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. She asks that all students come with their own violin and is happy to offer advice on either the purchase or rental of an instrument.

Megumi is also able to teach beginner to intermediate piano (up to Grade 4). She is familiar with classical and popular styles and worked for some time as a church accompanist in California. Additionally, she can teach improvisation on keyboard. Megumi asks that students have a keyboard to practice with at home. As with the violin, she is happy to offer advice on the purchase of an instrument.
