About May

 *No home visits*

I am a violinist/violist/teacher with a Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours from the University of Melbourne and a current Master of Teaching Teacher Candidate specialising in instrumental music and classroom music.

I have taught violin, viola and coached ensemble playing to students of all ages from beginner to First-Year Undergraduate level, including chamber music coaching and ensemble directing at the Melbourne Conservatorium Young Artists Academy and Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School.

I have a wealth of orchestral and chamber music experience that led me to international tours and chamber music festivals around the world, such as the Allegro Vivo Festival, Akaroa International Festival and the Mimir Chamber Music Festival.

I am a recipient of numerous awards and scholarships including the Kate Flowers Memorial Scholarship, Truby Williams Conservatorium Endowment Scholarship, Corinna D’Hage Mayer String Scholarship, W. Bardsley Award, Cassidy Bequest Scholarship, and EC Wellisch Bequest.

As an avid chamber musician in Melbourne’s new music scene, I am a Core Artist with Forest Collective and have premiered numerous works through Buxton Contemporary, 3MBS, IgniteLAB, Brunswick Mechanics Institute and New Music Studio Series.

HOW I TEACH:
I strongly believe that a student's best teacher is ultimately themselves, so in my teaching I will always encourage and guide students to appreciate beyond the notes on the page and to build a long-lasting love for the instrument, while always incorporating the necessary technical aspects of playing. I've had many great teachers and what they all have in common is great patience and care for their students, and that is something crucial I bring to my own teaching.

I have been described as a “methodical yet creative” teacher who will have 10 different ways to solve 1 single issue on the violin. I treat my students as collaborators and am highly adaptable to each student’s individual goals and ways of learning.

My method is based on the English and the Russian school of violin playing, and various levels of music theory will be incorporated as part of an all-round approach to learning.

I am fluent in both English and Mandarin and can teach in either language.

I teach in person (West Melbourne) or online.


LESSON FORMAT:
Lessons are offered in 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute sessions based on the student’s needs and preferences. In person or online.
