About Nigel
I’ve been teaching the violin for over 40 years, and I still love helping students discover the joy, confidence and creativity that music can bring. My approach is warm, patient and encouraging, and I aim to make lessons enjoyable and inspiring for players of all ages and abilities.
I was fortunate to study with distinguished musicians including Emanuel Hurwitz, Yfrah Neaman, Denis Matthews and Hans Keller. I began teaching while assisting my first teacher, Eta Cohen, in Leeds, and since then I have worked with young musicians across London and beyond.
Over the years I have taught and led music programmes at institutions including Watford School of Music, Highgate School, The Latymer School, Young Music Makers and the Youth Music Centre, where I was Artistic Director for 21 years. I am currently a visiting violin professor at Middlesex University and also teach at the Junior Guildhall School of Music.
Alongside teaching, I have enjoyed a varied performing career with orchestras including the Philharmonia Orchestra, London Mozart Players and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. I have also performed extensively in London’s West End, leading the orchestra for productions such as Miss Saigon and The Witches of Eastwick. As a recitalist and director, I have performed throughout the UK, Europe and America.

I am passionate about making music accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Inspired by my students, I composed Sounds of a Rainbow and Three Concertinos for Young Violinists, published by Stainer & Bell, to help young players explore music with confidence and imagination.
Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for exams, or returning to the violin after a break, I offer supportive, tailored lessons designed to help you enjoy your playing and grow in confidence. I am always happy to have a friendly chat about your musical goals and how I can help you achieve them.
