TEACHING
Testimonials
"Lydia has great expertise and she is very patient with children. She teaches cello in a way that engages their interest and encourages progress. My son is benefitting greatly from her instruction and I know that Lydia is giving him a very solid musical grounding. Lydia is also punctual, polite, professional, and generally just a pleasure to have in our home."
"Lydia is an absolutely excellent tutor, very supportive! As an adult learner, I am now more convinced that it is the right choice to start learning cello even at this time."
My vision with my teaching is that I would like to provide each student I teach with a solid musical and technical foundation, as I believe this will lead to the most enjoyment and fulfilment in my students' music-making in the long term.
My own method is supplemented with materials by Thomas Gregory, Rick Mooney, Alfredo Piatti, Sebastian Lee and Otakar Ševčík.
I am proud to have a 100 % pass rate on ABRSM exams, with most students achieving Merits or Distinctions.
