The Violin Space

My teaching is predominantly influenced by the Japanese violin pedagogue Shinichi Suzuki who in the 1950’s pioneered a new way of teaching the violin. However, I have also taken part in teaching courses run by the Hungarian violin teacher Géza Szilvay, who devised the highly successful Colourstrings approach, as well as Stringbabies by Kay Tucker. Other eminent string pedagogues who have influenced my teaching are Paul Rolland, Sheila Nelson, Mary Cohen, Simon Fisher and Ivan Galamian.
