About Ivy
I am a passionate violin tutor with over 8 years of teaching experience and a Diploma in Classical Violin. My love for music extends beyond classical traditions into Jazz, Rock, Hip-Hop Strings, and World Music. I enjoy helping students explore the violin in creative and unexpected ways. Improvisation is at the heart of my lessons. I introduce looping pedals, effects, and innovative performance techniques to expand musical possibilities. Together, we experiment with tone, texture, and rhythm to create unique sounds. I guide students in writing their own solos and adapting popular songs to suit their style. My approach encourages curiosity and personal expression. I believe every student can discover their musical voice through exploration and creativity. Lessons are fun, interactive, and tailored to individual goals. Whether you want to perform, compose, or simply enjoy playing, I provide the tools and inspiration to succeed. Step beyond tradition and uncover the endless possibilities the violin has to offer. Let’s make music that’s truly your own.

My teaching approach focuses on helping students of all levels develop a deep love for the violin. I emphasize building strong technique while ensuring each lesson is engaging and inspiring. I guide students through structured exercises that improve finger strength, bow control, and posture. Ear training is a core part of my methodology, helping students recognize pitch, tone, and harmony. I also support students in musical expression, teaching them how to convey emotion through every note. Performance confidence is key, so I provide opportunities to practice in front of others and give constructive feedback. I integrate related subjects like sight-reading, improvisation, and music theory to build well-rounded musicians. For students interested in theater or worship music, I focus on style, dynamics, and stage presence. Lessons include repertoire that excites and motivates each learner. I encourage creative interpretation while maintaining technical accuracy. My approach is patient, flexible, and tailored to individual goals. Above all, I aim to make learning violin enjoyable while helping students reach their full potential in music.
