About David
I am a highly accomplished classical violinist and dedicated teacher with over seven years of experience guiding students of all ages and levels — from complete beginners as young as 4 years old to advanced players preparing for exams, auditions, scholarships, and conservatoire entry.
A graduate of the Royal College of Music (BMus, MPerf with Distinction, and Artist Diploma), I bring a wealth of professional performance experience to my teaching. I have performed as a soloist and in chamber ensembles at prestigious venues including Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall, and Royal Albert Hall. Recent highlights include winning the RCM Concerto Competition 2023 (performing Britten’s Violin Concerto with the late Sir Andrew Davis), and masterclasses with Maxim Vengerov.
My teaching philosophy centres on developing musical maturity, technical security, and efficient practice habits, while nurturing a deep love and sensitivity for music. I tailor every lesson to the individual student’s goals, interests, and learning style — whether you’re a young child exploring the violin for the first time, a teenager aiming for ABRSM grades and school scholarships, or an adult seeking personal fulfilment. Lessons combine strong foundational technique (posture, bow control, finger dexterity, tone production) with musical expression, theory, and creative elements to keep sessions engaging and effective.
Examples of teaching successes:
*100% ABRSM success rate
*Multiple students achieving Grade 6–8 Distinctions
*Consistent success in securing Secondary School Music Scholarships
*Bespoke preparation for exams, auditions, competitions, and performances
*Regular progress reports and supplemental music theory where needed
I offer tuition in violin/viola, music theory, and can incorporate elements of composition or broader musical interests. Lessons are friendly, supportive, and results-oriented, with a strong emphasis on building confidence and enjoyment alongside progress.
Whether you’re looking for fun introductory lessons for a young child, structured exam preparation, or advanced technical and musical refinement, I am committed to helping you achieve your full potential. I offer in-person and online lessons.
Feel free to get in touch — I look forward to making music with you!

I aim to personalise my teaching to the individual's needs/aims, with a flexible methodology. Planned ahead lessons, resources, and a regime/programme to suit anyone's needs and goals. One of my core principles is nurturing any and all musical interests. I have taught ages 7-65 and have 7 years of private teaching experience. A typical lesson can be from thirty minutes to an hour and a half.

David is one of a kind teacher and colleague.
I highly recommend his teaching approach of the violin as well as his method.
He will know how to adapt to any kind of student or desire, and will take you on the right path, as he does when we work together in chamber music.David is not only an excellent musician but a trustworthy and dedicated teacher.
One would be hard pushed to find anyone else of the same calibre, both for musical understanding and for the ability to convey that understanding to a student.I have known David for several years now and he is an exceptional violinist, teacher and tutor. I very much recommend him!
I have known David for quite some time now. He is an exceptional musician with a vast knowledge and understanding of how to get the best possible sound out of a violin. As well as being an excellent violinist David is a great music producer with a great understanding of electronic music and various DAWs. I would highly recommend David to anyone as a music tutor.
