About Meher
I'm a violinist and teacher with over seven years of experience, specialising in folk styles from around the world. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Early Music with a focus on Baroque Violin, and my passion lies in the vibrant traditions of Irish, Scottish, and American Old-Time fiddling. My teaching is rooted in these living traditions—rich with history, rhythm, and soul. I place strong emphasis on ear-based learning, helping students internalise melodies before reading them. Ornamentation and rhythmic bowing patterns are at the heart of my lessons, giving each tune its authentic groove and flair. I guide students through the stylistic nuances that make folk music so compelling. Lessons often include playing along with folk jam tracks and using drone tuners to strengthen intonation and tonal memory. I take a repertoire-based approach, using real tunes as the framework for technique, style, and musical expression. Whether you're just beginning or looking to deepen your folk fiddle style, I tailor lessons to your pace and interests. There’s no one-size-fits-all here—just a supportive space to grow your playing. Come explore the soulful sounds of traditional fiddle music with me. Let’s learn together through the rich cultural threads that make this music come alive.

My teaching approach centres around clear goal-setting and structured practice to help students progress steadily and confidently. I emphasise daily warm-ups to build technical strength and prepare the body for focused playing. Technical études are an important part of my lessons, helping students develop precision and control while keeping their practice engaging. Expressive phrasing and stage presence are key areas I focus on to bring music to life. I guide students in interpreting pieces with emotion and confidence, preparing them for recitals, auditions, and ensemble performances. Every lesson includes elements that build both technical skill and artistic expression, ensuring a well-rounded musical experience. I understand that different students thrive in different ways—some prefer clear, step-by-step plans, while others grow through creative challenges or encouragement. I tailor my teaching to support each learner’s unique style and goals. Whether students seek a structured routine or expressive outlets, I provide a supportive environment to help them succeed and enjoy their violin journey.
