About Me
Hello! I’m Rawlins, a passionate and experienced violin, guitar and music teacher and professional performer.

I have several years of experience teaching students of different ages and ability levels in music schools, offering individual lessons in violin, guitar and music theory. I enjoy helping students build strong musical foundations while making lessons enjoyable, practical and encouraging.

My violin teaching includes instrumental technique, scales and arpeggios, intonation, sight-reading, music theory and performance skills. I also have experience preparing students for Trinity College London examinations and annual concerts.

I hold a Trinity College London Grade 6 Violin – Level 3 Certificate in Graded Examination in Music Performance, with Merit (2025).

Alongside teaching, I have around 10 years of live performance experience. I have performed as a violinist and bassist with different bands and as a solo musician at weddings, events, hotels, restaurants, clubs and corporate functions. This practical performance experience allows me to bring real-world musical knowledge into my lessons.

Whether you are a complete beginner, looking to improve your technique, learn your favourite songs, prepare for an exam, or simply become more confident on your instrument, I will tailor lessons to your individual level, goals and interests.

My aim is to create a friendly, patient and supportive learning environment where students can develop their skills, confidence and enjoyment of music.

I look forward to helping you on your musical journey! 🎻🎸🎶

Are you serious about learning to play violin?
Do you want to learn how to tackle difficult violin pieces?
Do you want to learn how to practise efficiently?
Do you want to know how to tackle stage nerves and how to plan your time before a performance?
Do you need help with fingerings and bowings for a specific piece?

Online violin lessons are becoming more and more popular as they offer real convenience for a student who either wants to learn with a specific teacher who might be based in another country, or when attending lessons in person is problematic because of the student's schedule.

Dunja , who has 15 years of overall teaching experience, has successfully taught via Skype and Zoom for the past 7 years. Lessons are scheduled based on the most suitable time (whatever the time zone!) for both Dunja and the student.

“Where words fail, music speaks.” I am a proud keyboardist and a pianist. I have been learning instrument since 2008 and I hold grades from Trinity college of music, London. I have dedicated more then half of my life to music and keyboard instrument. I have been teaching keyboard and piano to the students of all age groups since last 8 years. I have trained more then 100 students under me. Music can be complex sometimes so to make things much easy I have myself designed a easy and children/student/beginner friendly curriculum for my students keeping in mind the syllabus associated with trinity college London. With me music will be easy to learn and play. I can assure you that in next 6 months you will be able to understand keyboard or piano very well, play all lessons, play certain songs, understand music theory and apply it practically on keyboard.

The most important thing within my lessons is to really focus in on what each student personal goals and aims are. For example, if a students end goal is to become better at Jazz guitar this will be our main focus in the lessons. I find that with this method it is far easier to keep the students engaged and passionate if they feel like they're working towards their own personal goals. This also allows me to educate them on all of the "boring stuff" without killing their passion for Music.

In regards to my qualifications I have an undergraduate degree in Music from the Leeds Conservatoire, alongside Grade 8 qualifications on guitar and Grade 5 Music Theory qualifications. I play a variety of styles consisting of Pop, Rock, Funk, RnB and Jazz allowing me to tailor my lessons accordingly. I have multiple years experience tutoring through online platforms for students of all ages and skill levels, generally teaching for 30 minutes to 1 hour per lesson.

With over 12 years of teaching experience, I provide piano, music theory, and composition lessons across all ages. I hold a Ph.D in music and have successfully prepared more than 200 pupils for the widely recognised ABRSM and Trinity exams. I excel in constructing and conducting the lesson in a friendly, patient, and inspiring manner, kindling students' inner creativity and passion for the art of music. Whether you are beginner or an advanced student, a junior or an adult, keen to play for leisure or pursue musical distinction, I can tailor the lesson to your particular needs and expectations. I believe learning music is a journey and I would be happy to share the path with you.

At present, I am based in Windsor, teaching full-time at Windsor Piano School and privately at my studio. I am eager to expand my network of private pupils.
