Private Tuition – Violin & Viola

Considering violin or viola lessons? Awesome! Whether you’re the parent of a talented pupil, a university student, or an accomplished adult amateur, private music lessons can be a tremendous source of joy, discovery, and growth. My lessons focus on historically informed use of the bow (especially for Classical and Romantic composers – Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn), breathing, physical relaxation, and understanding intonation as a harmonic concept. Violists are also very welcome to have this sort of tuition, but I have not studied and do not teach viola repertoire as such.

Baroque violin lessons: Please contact Rachel Stroud if you are interested in Baroque violin lessons.

Lessons can be either one hour or 90 minutes, and take place in my private studio in Girton, Cambridge (UK). I most frequently teach in small bursts of 2-4 lessons, either for a “top-up” or to assist with exam, audition, or performance preparation. If you are interested in ongoing weekly lessons, this is also possible, but my availability is more limited so please get in contact to discuss your needs.

Please contact me at paula@yellowhouse.uk to express interest. My rate is £50/hour.
