About Marissa
I am a violin teacher with 8 years of experience and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Violin Performance. I have taught over 300 students from young beginners to advanced performers. My teaching focuses on bowing technique, vibrato, intonation, phrasing, and developing a genuinely expressive playing style. I prepare students for ABRSM and Trinity examinations with an excellent record of results. I offer orchestral and ensemble preparation for students joining youth orchestras and school string groups. My approach is patient, methodical, and always adapted to each student's individual pace and goals. Let me help you develop a strong expressive violin technique and a lifelong love of this beautiful instrument.

My violin lessons are carefully structured to develop strong healthy technique and genuine musical understanding from the first lesson. Every session starts with posture review and bow hold check followed by a warm-up of scales and bowing exercises. I emphasise bow technique strongly from the earliest stages because it most directly impacts tone quality and musical expression. Intonation develops through scale work, careful listening, and consistent tuning technology use. Exam students follow the full required syllabus with regular mock assessments and detailed feedback on every component. Advanced students develop shifting, vibrato depth, double stopping, and a personal expressive voice. Backing tracks develop ensemble awareness and musical sensitivity. For orchestral students I provide sight-reading coaching and ensemble skills development. Clear specific feedback after every performance gives students actionable goals to work towards. My goal is for every student to develop a confident technique and enduring love of the violin.
