Violin Lessons in Muswell Hill

Our teaching methodology follows the principles of the positive approach, always keeping in mind that the ideal learning experience should be based on enjoyment, especially to maintain young students’ energies and concentration.

With young children (from 4 years old) we use a combination of both Kodaly and Dalcroze methods, prioritizing musicianship over technique in these first years of learning. The combination of these two methods allows quick development of aural skills: sense of pulse, rhythm, inner-ear, singing, memory and the capacity of multitasking.
For more advanced students we combine musicianship with a more traditional approach, working with repertoire of great pedagogues such as Wohlfahrt, Kayser, Mazas, Kreutzer, Rode, Dont, etc.

We prepare our students for exams, both ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall, understanding these as a little part of the whole learning process. Our aim is to maintain a pressure free atmosphere where goals are achieved in a non-stressful environment.
