About Laura
- What kind of experience do you have? I have worked in some of London's most challenging schools, delivering group violin lessons, alongside coaching students at my private teaching practice. I teach violin, piano, cello and voice in very high-achieving schools, and coach students through the ABRSM examinations, with excellent results. I have formed and conducted 3 successful youth string orchestras, and provided coaching for string quartets and chamber ensembles. Some of my most talented pupils have achieved places at the junior conservatoires of London. As a performer, I have played with a number of high-profile artists such as Michael Bublé and Il Divo, with the Dubai String Quartet, the National Symphony Orchestra of the UAE, and have featured as a violinist on television shows such as Britain's Got Talent. I regularly play with many UK freelance orchestras, including Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. - Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate? Yes

I am a professional violin and piano teacher, based in Southbourne, Dorset. My charisma, kindness, warmth and musicality ensure effective, motivating and enjoyable lessons. I have a wealth of experience teaching across the UK and internationally. As a professional violinist, I perform across the UK with some of the country's leading orchestras, including the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. I've also performed on television on shows such as Britain's Got Talent, as well as touring with artists such as Il Divo and Michael Bublé! - Which subject(s) do you teach? I teach violin, viola, piano, music theory and general musicianship - Tell me about your qualifications. I was awarded a scholarship to study at a specialist music school in the UK, under the tutelage of Roger Owens (piano) and Judith Young (violin). I then studied with Adrian Adlam at Winchester College, and with Madeleine Mitchell (Royal College of Music). I went on to study with Sophie Langdon at the Royal Academy of Music. I also have a degree in History of Islamic Art & Architecture and Music from the School of Oriental and African Studies, and an Advanced Performance Diploma in acting. - How much do you charge? My fees are as follows: £50/hr £40/45 minutes £30/30 minutes - Where do you teach? At home in Southbourne, online, and at pupils' homes - When are you available? I teach Mondays-Saturdays. I am happy to teach in the school holidays, and can provide intensive tuition packages during this time, which include general musicianship, music appreciation and music theory. - Which ages and levels do you teach? I teach all levels and ages. I have good experience teaching from the ages of 4-60, and from very beginners to advanced pupils. - Which qualifications do you prepare your students for? I have prepared many students for the ABRSM examinations prep test to Diploma, and always accompany my violin/viola students on the piano for their exams. I also have experience coaching and guiding pupils through auditions for Junior Guildhall, Junior Royal College of Music, and similar programmes. Several of my pupils have gone on to study at the junior conservatoires in London. - Describe your arrangements for online tutoring. I teach over Zoom (also Skype or FaceTime, if preferred). - Do you have a personal message for students? I strongly believe that anyone, of any age or life situation, is able to learn and get enormous pleasure from mastering a musical instrument. My teaching style is holistic and I believe in a pupil-centred approach and creating a nurturing environment. I expect regular practice and a committed approach, but am extremely warm and friendly.
