About me
About Me!
I am a professional viola player and music teacher.
I would like to introduce myself and show you all the experience I have playing music professionally, in the hope you will be interested in having me play for your company at your events. I play different styles of music from Classical to Vintage, Pop, Metal and I continuously add new music to my repertoire, catering to your requests.
I offer live music for different occasions and public events. I also do concerts in schools with explanations and demonstrations of several musical styles and musical diversities.
Background and experience:
I studied at Wells Cathedral School from 2005-2009, progressing onto the viola in my final year under Head of Strings, Matthew Souter. In 2011, I graduated with a french music diploma at the École National de Musique in Lyon.
I graduated with a Bachelors and Masters degree from the Royal College of Music and Royal Academy of Music, having played in masterclasses by Jennifer Stumm, Antonello Farulli and Maxim Rysanov, and studied with Susie Meszaros and Yuko Inuoe. I have 10 years performing and teaching experience around the UK, France, Germany and China.
