About Fiona
My interest in violin began from admiration for orchestral music, expressive melodies, and live performances during my childhood. I completed a Bachelor’s Degree in String Performance before earning a PhD in Violin Performance. Over the last 11 years, I have guided students through musical growth using supportive teaching and structured learning approaches.
I focus on creating lessons that are adaptable for different confidence levels, musical goals, and learning styles. Some students improve through repetition and technical exercises, while others respond better to creativity and expressive performance activities. My teaching style combines patience, encouragement, and musical understanding so students can improve comfortably while building strong violin skills.
Outside teaching, I enjoy performing chamber music, studying classical repertoire, and exploring modern string arrangements. Staying connected to music helps me bring fresh inspiration into lessons. Teaching violin is rewarding because I enjoy helping students express emotion and confidence through music.

My violin lessons focus on helping students develop technical skill and musical confidence through supportive practice and structured learning. I teach bow control, intonation, rhythm training, posture, vibrato, scales, and musical phrasing using guided exercises that make learning approachable and rewarding. Lessons are designed to improve coordination, tone quality, and expressive ability while creating a calm learning environment.
Beginners improve through posture correction, open string exercises, and simple melodies that gradually strengthen violin foundations. Intermediate learners develop stronger bow control, rhythmic consistency, and finger accuracy through technical drills and structured repertoire study. Advanced students focus on expressive interpretation, advanced techniques, and polished performance preparation with deeper musical understanding. I also include listening exercises and ensemble activities that help students improve naturally.
Violin becomes more rewarding when students connect emotionally with music instead of focusing only on technical perfection. My lessons encourage patience, creativity, and confidence while helping learners improve steadily. I want students to become more expressive, relaxed, and comfortable while developing their individual musical style.
