Yes, I hold several up-to-date enhanced DBS/CRB certificates.

I teach violin and viola from beginners to advanced whilst I teach piano from beginner to approximately grade 5 standard.

I teach both the Associated Board and Trinity exam syllabi although exams are completely optional.

- Do you have a personal message for students?
It doesn't matter whether you are a complete beginner or if you have studied in the past and would like to make a return to lessons. Anybody can learn to play an instrument, from young children to adults. It's never too late to learn! As an instrumental teacher, I relish the opportunity of being able to share my passion for the subject and hopefully, in doing so, inspire the next generation of musicians.

I was afraid of picking up the violin so late in my life, but Nicky has been great at making it an agreeable learning curve; it doesn't feel like I'm studying, it feels like I'm playing.
She is also a very nice, caring teacher who always has a positive comment and does her best to accommodate you as a student, trying to understand your needs and keep your motivation going.See more recommendations
