About Laura

- What kind of experience do you have?

As a professional violinist I perform with my string quartet Amika, string duo Allini, in London’s West End and for several orchestras across the UK. I have travelled the world with my performing career and have worked in Melbourne and Sydney-Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland and France.

I currently teach at Claremont Fan Court and Milbourne Lodge in Esher.

Previous teaching posts include Upper Strings Teacher at Bedales School. Alderley Edge School for Girls, Violin Teacher at Repton and Foremarke Hall Schools and Upper Strings Tutor for Bolton Music Service. I also enjoyed the post of Assistant Director of Music from April 2011 until august 2012 at Foremarke Hall School where I was able to develop the music department and encourage many young musicians to perform as soloists and within ensembles.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

I currently hold an up to date CRB disclosure certificate.

- Where and with whom did you train?

I studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester with musicians Levon Chillingirian-Chillingirian Quartet (2008-2010), Malcolm Layfield-Head of Strings RNCM (2007-2011), Thomas Kemp-Chamber Domaine (2005-2007). Prior to the RNCM I was taught by Peter Maslin-Co-leader of Opera North Orchestra (2003-2005). I was awarded places on the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic and Manchester Camerata orchestral experience schemes whilst at the RNCM and spent several weeks training with the professional orchestras and conductors.

Best teacher I've ever had. I'd been playing for years before coming to Laura (though had had several years gap). Laura was brilliant at supporting me back to playing - including quickly identifying and remedying all sorts of bad habits I'd evidently built up over the years! She was patient, supportive, and very effective. Definitely recommended!
