I approach teaching in a way that is fun for the student. This gives them the best opportunity and drive to practice in between lessons and therefore accelerating their learning. There is no “quick” way to learn the violin and so I start from the ground up, building fundamental technique before approaching harder repertoire. The main thing is to enjoy it!

Leo has been a great teacher for the past three years. Really enjoyed learning pieces in a variety of styles and working on my technique.
Leo is an incredible violinist and teacher. I know him through the Sligo Academy of Music. He is such a kind and patient teacher and has a way of explaining things that makes everything feel easy and accessible. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn the violin. I always enjoy going to my lessons, and he has helped make playing the violin such an enjoyable experience for me.
Leo is both an excellent violin player and teacher. I know him through the Sligo Academy of Music.
Some things I appreciate about his teaching are his patience and persistence. In every lesson he gives his full attention and makes my progress his priority.
He puts an emphasis on creating good habits from the beginning, both in my technique and practice.
I’ve improved and learned much more than I expected since I started going to lessons with Leo.
Leo taught my children violin and is a lovely teacher! He approaches in a calm and gentle way while still pushing his students to improve. I am thankful for the knowledge he has shared and would highly recommend him to anyone.
