About Viva
Hello! I’m a singer, composer, and music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from Royal Holloway, University of London and a Bachelor’s degree from Middlesex University.
Alongside performing and composing, I have worked professionally for over five years as a sheet music editor and transcriber within the classical music world. My compositions have been performed by ensembles including the Allegri String Quartet and the London Firebird Orchestra.
With over six years of teaching experience, I have taught more than 100 students across Bachelor’s and Master’s level study with a focus on building strong musical understanding, confidence, and long-term creativity in a supportive and approachable environment.
