About Me

I am a professional violinist with over 25 years' experience as a performer and teacher. I trained at the Royal College of Music in London and have lived in Lincolnshire and Devon.

Now based in Somerset, I work across the South West as a freelance musician, including with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Bristol Ensemble, the Bristol String Quartet and Devon Baroque.

I take part in music initiatives in schools, care homes and hospitals with BSO Participate, and give concerts with the Kilima Quartet and pianist Jonathan Delbridge.

Lessons 

I teach at my home in Long Sutton, Langport, and am signed up to the DBS update service. 

I particularly welcome adults - beginners, improvers and returners, and can also teach children of all ages and stages.  I enjoy working with students flexibly to achieve their musical goals.

Rowan is extremely knowledgeable but wears it lightly. The focus is always on the student's needs and interests.

 "Rowan took us to another place with her floating tone and a delicate palette of colours."

The rapport between violin and piano, duetting through some strenuous episodes, was immediately evident.

This is the most exciting quartet! Yesterday's concert was fantastic - full of drama.
