Renowned multi-stylistic violinist, Royal College of Music and Guildhall School of Music & Drama graduate, with over two decades of performing and teaching experience offering bespoke online tuition.

A teacher of John’s quality is a rare find - he has amazing technique and skills across multiple genres, from classical and jazz to experimental, enabling him to flex lessons to whatever the student needs (I came to John as a folk musician wanting to improve technique and learn some tango and he did not disappoint!). Whatever your experience and interests, you will gain a huge amount from lessons with John which will stick with you long into the future. Look no further, this is the teacher for you!

I’ve worked with John for several years and always found him to be an inspiring and energising musician. He combines long-term experience as a performer and deep knowledge of classical technique with spontaneity, openness and curiosity. Any open-minded student could learn a huge amount working with him.

I contacted John after being recommended trying some violin lessons with him by a friend. I absolutely loved John's teaching style. Straight away, he noticed elements of my technique that could be improved upon that I wanted to work on too, and we worked through various studies and exercises that helped very much. After only a few lessons, I found my practice sessions more structured, varied and enjoyable and I could notice the progress that was being made. John is absolutely great at meeting you where you are on any given day and building confidence to try new things out. This translated to gigs, too, where I became more risk taking and assured of my own ability. Thanks John!
