About Isla
I’m a violin tutor with over ten years of experience and a Licentiate of Music in Violin. My teaching takes a holistic and therapeutic approach, focusing on self-expression, emotional release, and musical storytelling. I encourage students to explore improvisation, journaling, and soundscape creation as tools for personal growth and deeper connection with music. I have worked with neurodiverse learners, trauma survivors, and adult students seeking healing through the power of sound. Each lesson is tailored to support emotional needs while developing technical skills. I believe the violin offers a unique way to express what words sometimes cannot. Through my guidance, students learn to use the violin as a safe space to explore their inner voice and emotions. Whether you are new to the instrument or returning after a break, my goal is to create an encouraging and nurturing environment. Together, we unlock not only musical potential but also the healing power of music itself. The violin is more than an instrument—it’s a trusted companion on your journey of self-discovery.

My violin teaching approach blends traditional techniques with innovative technology to enhance learning and engagement. I use metronome apps to help students develop precise rhythm coordination and tuning software to ensure pitch accuracy from the start. Slow-motion video playback allows us to carefully review posture and bowing techniques, providing clear visual feedback that supports steady improvement. Backing tracks add depth to practice sessions, encouraging expressive tone matching and musicality.
For students who thrive on tech-based learning, these tools offer a structured yet creative environment that keeps lessons dynamic and motivating. Visual learners benefit from detailed analysis, while others find emotional connection through interactive and immersive practice. I encourage students to record and review their progress, which builds confidence and highlights their growth over time.
By thoughtfully integrating technology, I create a forward-thinking space where learners feel supported and inspired. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, this approach nurtures both technical skill and personal expression. Ultimately, I want the violin to be more than an instrument—it should be a meaningful, joyful part of your life.
