Hi there,
In general I tailor every lesson to suit individual students; their goals, targets, interests, hobbies, and in general how the pupil is in character. As well as age, younger ages will require a different approach than with older children, young adults, or adults.
I try to incorporate everything relevant to pupils that could be applied in lessons to provide effective teaching, helping pupils to progress And so there is a genuine growing joy for the student, in playing violin,
practicing, being taught, and attending the weekly lessons. Adapting to each student is fundamental for their music development, health and wellbeing, self confidence and self independence in music.
I prepare all my students for ABRSM / TRINITY graded exams (1-8). This consists of; Pieces, Scales, Aural Training/ Ear training and Sight-Reading. Or the alternative SUZUKI method if the pupil has already previously started it, or desire this approach.
I teach music theory in the lesson that goes in part with practical, usually the last part of the lesson or when the students are tired/lack concentration. All methods/resources are used; the piano, manuscript paper, physical activities to help understanding and the ABRSM Theory app on my IPad.
Whilst there is focus on grades, I tap into the interests /goals / aspirations of pupils. I regularly have students who want to learn a piece for a competition, religious pieces for church services, or just a desire to learn a piece in any genre/ style.
After each lesson, I send parents/students the lesson review/ analysis & homework which they can view in detail. And I am in weekly online contact with parents/ students for any assistance. Online "check-ups" of students via video are conducted to see how weekly progress is going.
I am ( what my students tell me I hope!), funny, fun, patient ,very friendly, easy going, understanding, open, and yet have the balance in being demanding, having very high expectations for every student. I try to make the students feel as comfortable as possible, to be themselves in the lesson.
The majority of my lessons are taught in my music teaching studio, but I am willing to travel an appropriate distance if that is suitable for the student/parent.
I have an enhanced DBS check.

I became aware of Edward’s violin lessons after being recommended through a friend. Edward is a competent music teacher. He is very sympathetic and understanding with his pupils. He speaks to them in a way that is engaging and polite. The lessons are a nice balance of theory and practice and Edward keeps the pace going to avoid boredom and loss of interest. My daughter has learnt a great deal from him.
Edward taught our daughter violin and at the same time, once my husband and I showed interest in learning too, Edward kindly spent some extra time to giving my husband and I tips so that we could learn at the same time. Edward has always gone beyond the expected level of teaching. We are very grateful for all his efforts. His fun and enjoyable way of teaching combined with his patience and skills are extremely rare! We recommend that you meet Edward and see for yourself. R & C Webb
