About Nicky
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have ten years experience teaching all three instruments to students from the age of six to eighteen as well as university students and adult learners. I have taught students from beginner to advanced levels and am comfortable teaching syllabi for both the Associated Board and Trinity examinations.

Yes, I hold several up-to-date enhanced DBS/CRB certificates.

I studied at Birmingham University and Goldsmiths College with Dr. Devorina Gamalova. I have also studied with Peter Poole, Levine Andrade and Khac-Uyen Nguyen as well as participating in masterclasses with Nathaniel Vallois, Nic Pendlebury, Matthew Trusler, Nick Fallowfield, Susanne Stanzaleit and Alexander Ivashkin.

- When are you available?
I am flexible in my arrangements and am happy to teach weekdays during the day and evenings. If you would like a weekend lesson, please feel free to contact me to discuss this. I like to fix a regular time each week but this might vary according to my performing engagements.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach all ages; I have students from the age of six up to to adults. You are never too old to learn an instrument!
I teach violin and viola from beginners to advanced whilst I teach piano from beginner to approximately grade 5 standard.

I teach both the Associated Board and Trinity exam syllabi although exams are completely optional.

I am happy to teach violin and viola lessons for students approx. grade 2 and above via Skype. Please get in touch for further information.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
It doesn't matter whether you are a complete beginner or if you have studied in the past and would like to make a return to lessons. Anybody can learn to play an instrument, from young children to adults. It's never too late to learn! As an instrumental teacher, I relish the opportunity of being able to share my passion for the subject and hopefully, in doing so, inspire the next generation of musicians.

I was afraid of picking up the violin so late in my life, but Nicky has been great at making it an agreeable learning curve; it doesn't feel like I'm studying, it feels like I'm playing.
She is also a very nice, caring teacher who always has a positive comment and does her best to accommodate you as a student, trying to understand your needs and keep your motivation going.View more recommendations
