About Rory

I’m a passionate violin tutor with over ten years of experience and a **Bachelor of Music in Chamber Music (Violin Focus)**. My teaching goes beyond playing notes—I integrate **music theory, aural skills, and sight reading** directly into violin practice. Students don’t just memorize pieces; they understand the “why” behind the music, building a foundation that supports every style they explore. In each lesson, we connect **scales, intervals, and harmony** to practical bowing and fingering exercises, making technical work both meaningful and musical. This approach helps students see how theory lives on the strings, not just on paper. I also bring chamber music sensibilities into lessons, emphasizing listening, blending, and sensitivity to phrasing. I’ve worked with **music exam candidates** as well as students looking to strengthen their overall fluency, guiding them through structured preparation without losing the joy of playing. My lessons are adaptable for different goals—whether aiming for graded exams, preparing for auditions, or simply becoming a more confident musician. Every student learns at their own pace, but I ensure each session moves them closer to technical control and expressive freedom. My goal is to help you grow not only as a violinist, but as a complete musician—someone who plays with **clarity, understanding, and confidence**.

With over a decade of experience, I offer **structured yet expressive violin lessons** that blend traditional bowing techniques with modern ear training and theory integration. My teaching is rooted in solid fundamentals but always leaves room for creativity and personal style. Students learn how to shape their tone, master intonation, and play with confidence whether they are preparing for a recital, an exam, or simply exploring music for joy.

I cover more than just violin technique—I guide students through **solo performance skills, ensemble playing, and creative interpretation**, ensuring they become versatile musicians. My lessons are tailored for students of all ages, adapting to individual goals and learning styles.

I work especially well with learners striving to refine their artistry, helping them translate their musical ambitions into expressive, polished performances. We explore a variety of genres, encouraging experimentation with improvisation and fresh approaches to familiar pieces.

To keep practice motivating, I incorporate engaging methods—goal tracking, interactive exercises, and creative assignments that make progress visible and rewarding. Students gain not just technical skill, but also a deeper understanding of how music connects emotion, technique, and storytelling.

Every lesson is an invitation to grow, explore, and express yourself through the violin—building a path toward both **confidence and artistry**.
