I studied at Trinity College of Music where I gained a BMus (Hons) Degree and a Postgraduate Diploma. I was also awarded the Band/Kurtz award for viola playing, the Vera Kantrovich Prize for solo string playing and the Sir John Barbirolli Prize for string quartet.

As a professional orchestral and chamber musician, I have worked with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Bergen Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, RTE National Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Scottish and BBC Concert Orchestras. I have also done session work performing alongside artists including McFly and various film and TV soundtracks such as Madagascar.

I have over 17 years experience teaching both the violin and viola and teach privately throughout Surrey and Hampshire. I also teach music theory and piano lessons. Please see my tuition page for more details.

I am a founding member and manager of Quattro String Quartet, performing regularly at weddings and corporate events. Click on the link below to see our website.

I live in Upper Froyle between Farnham and Alton wilth my husband and two cats called Oscar and Lang Lang. Together with my passion for music I also have a keen interest in walking, kayaking and photography.
