About Ivy

I am a violin tutor with over three years of experience and hold a Bachelor of Music in Chamber Music with a Violin focus. My teaching approach integrates music theory, aural skills, and sight-reading directly into violin practice. I believe that understanding the structure of music enhances both technical skill and expressive performance. I teach scales, intervals, and harmony through practical bowing and fingering exercises, helping students connect theory with real playing. Lessons are designed to strengthen technique while developing musical intuition and confidence. I work with music exam candidates, guiding them through repertoire, technical requirements, and performance preparation. I also support students who wish to improve overall musical fluency, combining technical drills with ensemble and solo practice. My approach emphasizes precision, rhythm, and expressive interpretation in every lesson. I encourage active listening and performance practice to build both skill and stage presence. Each session is tailored to the student’s pace, goals, and learning style, making progress measurable and rewarding. I aim to foster a deep appreciation for music while nurturing well-rounded musicianship. Students gain not only technical mastery but also musical independence and confidence. My ultimate goal is to help learners become skilled, expressive, and confident violinists ready for any performance challenge.

About the lesson

My teaching approach for violin focuses on building strong technique while fostering musical creativity. I guide learners in bowing, finger placement, and intonation to develop accuracy and control. Lessons emphasize rhythm precision, helping students play confidently in both solo and ensemble settings.

I incorporate ensemble skills, teaching how to listen, blend, and interact musically with others. Creative improvisation is introduced to encourage exploration and personal expression. Classical repertoire development is a core part of lessons, allowing learners to build a solid foundation in style, phrasing, and interpretation.

Each lesson is tailored to the student’s pace, goals, and strengths. I provide step-by-step guidance to overcome challenges while celebrating progress along the way. Exercises and practice routines are designed to improve dexterity, musicality, and confidence.

I encourage active listening, experimentation, and performance practice to prepare learners for recitals, recordings, or casual playing. Technology and recordings are used to track progress and refine technique. My approach balances discipline with creativity, ensuring learning remains enjoyable. Students gain both skill and self-assurance, empowering them to excel musically. Every session aims to strengthen technique, musical understanding, and personal expression.
