About Olawale
My name is Olawale Olayinka, I’m a classically trained composer, violinist and violist. I’ve performed in several world-class orchestras in the UK and America such as the Chineke!, Nok Orchestra, Brixton Chamber Orchestra, African United Orchestra at the Carnegie Hall, Musical Society of Nigeria Symphony Orchestra, performing in great concert halls such as the Queen Elizabeth Hall at Southbank, Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall New York USA. My compositions have also been reviewed by prestigious critics and media houses and the Arts Council of England. With over 13 years of performance and teaching career, I’ve received masterclasses from renowned violin professors such as Farida Bacharova from Russia, Peter Martens from South Africa, Katie Hunt from Germany and several others. I have a deep passion to teach and pass musical knowledge to this generation and the coming generations. Coming from Nigeria where there aren’t sufficient resources and opportunities to master the violin, it is therefore why I took it upon myself to make a change and a difference.

I use the Suzuki violin method to teach the violin as it’s so much fun to learn with, it also helps build one’s repertoire & confidence, I also use the String builder method to teach reading music from the scratch in the simplest form. I’ve used these two methods for over 13 years and it has got my students giving private and public concerts in 2-3 months. Today’s world-class Grammy-winning violinists used my method such as Ray Chen, Hilary Hahn, Leila Josefowicz to mention a few. By simply practising 15-20 minutes every day you can achieve a lot on your road to violin mastery. I also draw up a unique schedule for each of my students according to their level and strengths to monitor their progress and achieve a consistent, effective and efficient growth and development of their skills.

Olawale has been my violin teacher for the past four years. He is so patient and kind, full of encouragement and supportive. He’s also quite candid, which is rare.
I remember a particular episode when I had issues learning my scales, I was getting frustrated also. He told me to take a break, shared stories and laughed with me, encouraged me and then told me to try again. And I got it after I stopped being tense.
He’s the best music teacher I knowMy son loves his violin lessons with Mr. Olawale! He’s great with children patient, kind, and able to keep them motivated. We’ve seen so much improvement in just a few months.
What makes his teaching stand out is the unique blend of rigorous classical training with a nurturing and encouraging approach, leading to lessons that are both enjoyable and effective.
He devotes time to understanding the individual needs of each student and adjusts his teaching style accordingly, whether it involves developing strong technique, preparing for examinations, or creatively exploring music.
