About Esther

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have been teaching for 14 years. I take my students through ABRSM and Trinity exams both recorded and in person. I also prepare students for music aptitude tests for secondary schools.

I teach and have knowledge of a wide range of reportoire in genres such as folk, classical, pop, blues, jazz and more. So if you just want to play for fun I can make sure to keep you busy with lots of music to get your teeth into.

Along with my partner I set up St Albans String Tuition in 2015 and we teach a wide variety of instruments, mainly from our home in St Albans.

I also have many years experience in performing. I first picked up a violin aged 3 and have been trying to get people to listen to me play ever since. My most recent projects have been playing as part of an Irish folk band, performing at functions as a string duo, doing a run at the Edinburgh Festival as part of a band with a poet and as part of a string orchestra for a Bristol Old Vic production of Coram Boy.

Yes I do have an up-to-date DBS certificate.

- Tell me about some of your current students.

My youngest pupil is 4 years old, then I have pupils entering various levels of grade exams and adults who are just learning for fun. One of my pupils has just got into a school on a music scholarship for which we put a recital programme together.

I also teach in a primary school where I multiple violin and viola students and run 2 orchestras.

I also tutor those taking school exams, scholarship practical tests and recitals/concerts, orchestral, chamber and solo.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Music lessons should be great fun as well as providing essential skills for the future.

I hope to be able to work with you and help you to feel engaged with instrumental learning. I can be flexible about lesson times and days, so please get in touch to discuss.

Esther has been teaching my daughter for a few months, and she has made great progress. She makes learning fun for the student and very clear to the parent on what to practice and how to monitor the child's practice.
I highly recommend Esther as a teacher.
