About Vivian
I am a violin tutor with over 7 years of experience and a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory with a focus on violin. I specialise in teaching adult beginners and returning learners who want to explore the violin beyond traditional classical training. My lessons focus on improvisation and non-classical genres such as jazz, blues, folk, and worship music. I use simple, practical exercises that help students progress without feeling overwhelmed. Ergonomic positioning is always emphasised, so learning feels comfortable and natural. I also bring mindfulness into lessons, encouraging relaxation and enjoyment while playing. Together, we create an environment that feels supportive and stress-free. I believe that learning the violin should be both rewarding and inspiring. Improvisation is introduced step by step, allowing students to find creative freedom on their own terms. For those interested in easy classical, I provide approachable repertoire that builds confidence. Lessons are flexible and tailored to each student’s personal pace. Whether you’re picking up the violin for the first time or returning after years, I’ll guide you towards joyful progress. Let’s rediscover the violin together, with freedom and creativity at the heart of every lesson.

My teaching approach focuses on helping students become fluent readers on the violin. Sight-reading is at the centre of every lesson, starting with clear, systematic steps. I guide learners through understanding ledger lines, complex rhythms, and multi-part scores. Each exercise builds visual-to-finger coordination so reading becomes second nature. I believe this skill gives players the freedom to pick up new pieces instantly. My method also emphasises patience and repetition, making even challenging passages manageable. I dedicate time to ensuring learners are confident in both rhythm and pitch accuracy. For Musical Theatre Enthusiasts, this means being able to read and perform music with confidence in rehearsal settings. For Worship Singers, it means adapting quickly to multi-part arrangements in real time. Lessons are structured yet flexible, adapting to each student’s pace. I use practical drills, duets, and ensemble-style reading to reinforce skills. This makes learning interactive and fun. With steady guidance, students develop reading fluency that supports long-term musical growth.
