About Helen
I am a Self employed violin teacher, with Grade 8 violin qualification and an Adult Teaching Certificate. I have taught in schools, community settings and privately, to individuals and groups. I am a passionate musician, playing in orchestras, local bands and folk sessions. I have also organised and led choirs and music ensembles, and have managed a range of music projects. I prepare students for grade exams, or teach for fun. I also teach folk techniques. I make my lessons fun and always offer a varied repertoire and techniques, to suit the student.

English
My teaching methods have been developed through years of experience of teaching a wide range of students. They are student centred and allow you to learn at your own pace, incorporating listening skills, note reading skills and theory skills into your playing. I can adapt my approach to children and adults, and have taught in groups too. I build long lasting relationships with students, always listening and adapting to your needs. The lessons always involve a review of the previous one, a discussion about the week's home practise, any problems encountered, or comments about the week. A warm up is done, and then focussed work on the current piece, observing and evaluating techniques and musicianship. Targets are regularly set, and feedback given on a frequent basis. Goals are discussed and reviewed periodically, whether it's a particular song that is being learnt for a performance, or a graded exam that is being taken.

Perfect! Helen took the time to get to know what I needed and at what speed I need to work at as a beginner wanting to learn how to play the violin . She was very thoughtful and full of patience even for a novice like me .
Would definitely recommend Helen to anyone thinking of learning to play the violin- Thanks for your kind review of the lesson. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn will take you a long way! It was a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to contributing to your exciting new learning journey!HHelen's response :
