If you’re looking for a tutor to help you to learn a new skill/ rediscover playing the violin, or to help students to stay on track while we’re all at home, do get in touch!

If you feel good, you play better!

I like to approach each student individually, because we are all physically and mentally built differently. We all should leave a violin lesson feeling great!

My teachers Mr. Ngai Ho Chau and Mr. Jeffrey Sit Pak Hong, have been my greatest influence when it comes to teaching. I like to approach each student individually, because we are all physically and mentally built differently. Most importantly, we all should leave a violin lesson feeling great!

I have a 100% pass rate and my current sudents achieve a merit and distinction in the ABRSM performance grades1-8!

A little about me:

Born and raised in Hong Kong, my musical journey began at the age of five when I first picked up the violin. With the support of dedicated instructors, I built a strong foundation in technical precision and musical sensitivity, setting the stage for my future achievements.

At the age of eight, I had the privilege of studying under Mr. Ngai Ho-Chau, the former concertmaster of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. His mentorship not only refined my skills but also instilled in me a profound appreciation for musical expression and the value of diligent practice.

Driven by a desire to reach new heights, I earned my LTCL Diploma with Distinction from Trinity London College at eighteen, a milestone reflecting countless hours of dedication. This achievement motivated me to further deepen my understanding of the instrument.

Seeking new perspectives, I pursued advanced studies under the renowned violin maestro Mr. Hwang Wei-Ming at Taiwan SooChow University. There, I immersed myself in the art of violin technique, interpretation, and performance, gaining invaluable experience collaborating with talented musicians.

Over the years, I received scholarships to study violin at Taiwan SooChow University and California Baptist University. These opportunities enriched my musical experiences and allowed me to perform in solo, chamber, and orchestral settings. My journey includes performances with ensembles such as the Hong Kong Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, Hong Kong Pro-Arte Orchestra, Taiwan SooChow University Orchestra, and Taiwan Rong-Shing Chamber Orchestra, among others. These experiences continue to inform my approach to teaching, allowing me to provide my students with practical insights and real-world performance techniques.

Previously, I taught GCSE Music at Hollingworth Academy and provided violin instruction at The Hathershaw College and Radclyffe School, where I developed a holistic and student-centered teaching approach tailored to each learner's unique needs and goals.

Currently, I am dedicated to teaching SEND students at The Peak School, where I strive to create a supportive and calming environment. I often incorporate live violin performances to help my students relax and connect with music on a deeper level. Additionally, I work with private violin students, including young musicians from Manchester High School for Girls and Withington Girls’ School, as well as those preparing for music scholarship auditions at prestigious institutions like London Westminster School.

Recently, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Manchester-based artist Emma for her exhibition, Monton in Bloom. This opportunity allowed me to share my music in a creative and inspiring setting.

- Progressing the way you play cover music with techniques such as harmonic progression, chord inversions / re-harmonisation, feel changes
- Improvisation & Soloing
- Creating rhythmic patterns with right/left hand seperation
- Vocal and Piano technique ensuring healthy tendencies to your playing (using vocal chords correctly, posture whilst playing etc...)
- Performance technique (instrument tone, microphone technique, audience engagement)

We can build a lesson plan based on the music you love, and what aspect of your musical skillset your looking at developing!

I teach guitar with a strong foundation in Irish folk music, focusing on solid technique, rhythm and musicality. Lessons draw on traditional repertoire as well as contemporary songs, helping students develop good timing, tone and confidence on the instrument. Suitable for beginners through to intermediate players, with lessons tailored to individual goals.

Beginner focused These guitar lessons are rooted in Irish folk traditions and designed to build strong fundamentals from the ground up. Students learn chords, strumming patterns, fingerstyle basics and simple tunes, with an emphasis on playing musically and comfortably. No previous experience required.

Folk and song accompaniment Guitar lessons focused on folk style accompaniment, drawing heavily from Irish traditional and contemporary folk music. Students learn chord shapes, rhythm, fingerpicking and song based playing, with an emphasis on supporting vocals and storytelling through the guitar.

More personal and artistic With a background in Irish folk music, my guitar teaching centres on feel, rhythm and connection to the song. Lessons explore traditional and modern folk approaches while building strong technique and musical understanding. Each class is shaped around the student’s interests and pace.
