I am extremely passionate about music, and think it is one of the most beautiful things to be involved in; whether you are a listener or performer. I am very enthusiastic about spreading this love of creating music to everyone I teach, and have had much experience teaching both in schools and privately, as well as performing in large orchestras, smaller chamber groups, string quartets, musicals and solo performances. In 2018, I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Classical Violin Performance from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, and am currently studying for my Honours degree.
