INTRO TEXT FOR VIOLIN TUITION :
Hi there!
My name is Valentine, and I'm a French violinist currently based in Abingdon (Oxfordshire), England.
I studied violin for six years at the Conservatory of Music in Nîmes, in the South of France, and passed my ABRSM Grade 8 Violin Performance exam. Over the past 2 years, I've had the opportunity to perform with various orchestras, including the Penang Symphony Orchestra in Malaysia (South East Asia), where I lived for nine months. I've also had the privilege of performing at private events, such as weddings, religious ceremonies, and birthdays. These experiences have enhanced my teamwork skills, taught me effective practice techniques, and deepened my passion for sharing music and bringing joy to others.
Now, I love sharing this experience with students of all ages and backgrounds, helping them grow and develop as musicians while ensuring they enjoy their time with the violin! I’ve been teaching violin privately for about two years to beginner and intermediate students of all ages, both online and in person. Additionally, I taught at a private school in Bouillargues, South of France, during the 2022/2023 academic year. I’m dynamic, passionate, caring, and love helping others make progress while having fun with their instrument.
I can teach both classical music and traditional Celtic fiddle (mainly music from Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany). If you'd like to play fun movie soundtracks, that's possible too—I can arrange pieces that suit your level!
Feel free to visit my website or Facebook page for testimonials from current and past students, as well as performance videos.
I offer in-person lessons in Abingdon or online lessons via Skype. If you live in Abingdon, Oxford, or Didcot, I can also travel to your home.
Lastly, I offer 30-minute lessons—just drop me a message if you're interested!
Send me a message to arrange your free, no-obligation trial lesson :)
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Valentine

Regardless of age or ability, Joseph's aim is to work with his students at their own pace to cultivate the needed skills at the instrument and beyond. At the heart of the teaching is the importance of a well-rounded musical education; fostering deep musical communication at the instrument, with the belief that that is fundamentally the origin of technique. In addition to aspects taught in graded syllabuses such as scales, sight reading etc., Joseph encourages personal musical exploration and expression to allow his students to find their musical selves. Often a broadening of awareness to the nuts and bolts of music and therefore an opportunity to further grasp the deeper meanings of it comprises the work. Alongside this, Joseph has experience in a variety of fields including Alexander Technique and Taubman Technique which inform his approach. While methodical in his approach however, Joseph aims for a relaxed and friendly environment with the needs of each student at heart. With that in mind, lesson length and schedule can be tailored to suit individual requirements. Joseph has taught for over ten years, working with all abilities from complete beginners to diploma and masters-level university students. In addition to teaching private lessons, He currently teaches peripatetically at schools in Oxford and has also led music workshops in schools in London to groups of 40+ students.
Short Bio.
Praised for his sensitive and nuanced playing, Joseph C. is a pianist, composer and teacher currently based in Oxford, UK. He received a scholarship to study piano under Philip Fowke and Penelope Roskell as well as composition under Deirdre Gribbin at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, graduating with a first-class Bachelor's Degree with Honours in 2019. Joseph has played in several venues including Cadogan Hall, New College (Oxford), the Denis Arnold Hall (Oxford), 49 Queen’s Gate Terrace (South Kensington) for the Vernon Ellis Foundation, St. Alfege Church, the Old Royal Naval College and venues in and around Nice (France). One of his passions in repertoire lies with modern and contemporary music. Joseph has worked with Robert Saxton, commissioned works by composer Caitlin Harrison, and has frequently played and recorded new works by young composers for auditions to the national colleges of music and composition competitions. Despite this preference, Joseph also feels at home when performing staple repertoire such as Beethoven, Bach and Rachmaninoff. Some past engagements include participating in the Oxford Chamber Music Festival with violinist Marie Schreer, an all-improvisation recital in Oxford and the New Lights Contemporary Piano Festival.

I have taught KS3 and KS4 Maths in Oxfordshire/Berkshire secondary schools for the past 8 years.
My specialism is with students on the grade 3/4 borderline, although I have experience with all students from Y7 to Y11 including at the top end grade 7 GCSE.
I have been a private tutor for nearly six years for multiple companies - both in person and online. I have hosted exchange programmes to help students with English as a foreign language. I have helped to run summer schools. I have been educated at two Russell Group universities: my undergraduate degree in English Literature and History was acquired from the University of Exeter, while my postgraduate degree in English PGCE with QTS was acquired from the University of Oxford. I have been teaching English in a state comprehensive school for nearly four years, in which I have taught/still am teaching KS3 English, GCSE English (both Language and Literature), and A Level English Language and Literature (all with AQA). I specialise in teaching English to any secondary aged students; however, I have experience in teaching the eleven plus and am also able to help KS2 students with preparation for English at secondary school. I could tutor locally in Witney; however, due to my long working hours, online tutoring is preferable.
Trustworthy teacher with 3 years of practical experience and dedicated work ethic. Self-motivated to consistently provide first-class results in line with stringent targets and deadlines. I love teaching people as I like helping them and see the result of my work. I am good at working with people, organized, reliable and hard-working. Work with students brings me satisfaction, enjoyment and fun.
