Violin lessons in Nairn near Inverness

Nairn Violin Studio offers individual Suzuki violin lessons for children and adults in Nairn, near Inverness, and welcomes pupils from Forres, Elgin and surrounding Highland communities.

Alongside performing, I have spent over 15 years sharing my passion through teaching students of all ages and levels. From nurturing young learners aged 4-5 to guiding advanced students as they prepare for their bachelor recital,  I tailor my approach to meet individual needs. Parallel to my individual teaching, I have enjoyed leading group classes and ensembles, as I believe that making music together is a truly enriching and joyful experience for both children and adults alike.

​

Since founding Nairn Violin Studio, I have embraced the Suzuki method, finding it to be the most effective and rewarding way to teach young learners. After years of exploring various methods and preparing students for exams, I find that the core principles of this method truly foster a love for music and enhance learning. Its emphasis on listening and repetition together with an early start (from the age of 4), enables students to develop their skills within a nurturing environment. Read more about the method here.​​

​

1. Lessons are designed to be one-on-one, ensuring personalised attention for every student.

2. A parent is present during each lesson, helping to supervise practise at home and foster a supportive learning environment.

3. Pupils are encouraged to listen to their repertoire daily as part of their musical journey.

4. Pupils also meet regularly for group lessons allowing them to play together and connect with other young musicians."
