About Penny

I have been teaching privately and also at schools for several years now. I have guided many of my students through the exam system with merit and distinction level passes.

I am also a violin tutor at the Hackney Youth Orchestra Trust and have worked with organisations including Animate Orchestra, Stretto Music, Greenwich Music Hub, Music Maestros, The Future Music Group, Trinity Laban's Teenies Group and Boppin' Bunnies music classes for babies and toddlers.

All of these experiences have taught me how to be flexible and patient when it comes to instrumental teaching.

I currently lead the London City Philharmonic and I'm deputy leader of the Ernest Read Symphony Orchestra. I am also part of the Live Music Now Scotland scheme which provide live music to people throughout our communities, especially those who wouldn't normally have access to it.

I have played with many ensembles including the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra in Finland, the London Euphonia Orchestra, the London Incidental Orchestra, the Philharmonia Britannica and GoodenSemble. I have also played under the batons of Sakari Oramo, Roy Goodman, Gerry Cornelius and Diego Masson to name a few.

I am an extremely organised and self-motivated musician and I have been expanding my portfolio career whilst studying full time with John Crawford at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, where I graduated in 2018. In 2016 I went on an Erasmus Exchange to Finland where I studied with Reijo Tunkkari and Kreeta-Maria Kentala, and have since studied with Clare Thompson and Joshua Fisher.

I've also taken part in a number of masterclasses and courses including:
- Chamber masterclass with Yuri Zhislin in Finland
- Adam Sutherland Folk Fiddle course in Glasgow
- Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas Folk Fiddle Course in Skye
- Oxford Cello School, which included masterclasses with Lionel Handy and Alexander Boyarsky
- English Schools Orchestra
- Pro Corda

About the lesson

I am a dedicated and passionate music teacher who offers lessons from beginner to advanced. I also have a varied background in music making, ranging from classical to folk music and reading off sheet music to improvising.

Perfect! Penny create a relaxed atmosphere. She was relaxed and confident herself, so I was able to settle quickly into the lesson. She listened carefully and constantly gave positive feedback while at the same time analysing difficulties and suggesting solutions. I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson, it was fun, and that is what learning should be.

Penny’s approach to teaching violin includes the perfect balance of professionalism, dedication, friendliness, understanding and musicality. She caters to each of her students individual strengths and weaknesses and provides continuous, unwavering support through thick and thin. She is extremely flexible when it comes to teaching in person or online, which in this day and age is very useful and means that learning can continue despite impending restrictions/lockdowns. Age and ability are of no consequence to Penny, she will structure her lessons to suit and reflect the age and ability of each student. Her warm personality and commitment to her students are perhaps some of her best traits, not to mention her talent when it comes to playing the violin and music! Would highly recommend her without hesitation to anyone, whether you are just starting out, a few years in, or many years in!
