Verity is very caring and supportive with her students. She adapts the lessons to suit their style of learning and teaches them at their individual pace. Verity explains her lessons in a fun and engaging way that her students understand and this encourages them to want to learn more. My daughter feels very comfortable and confident learning the violin with Verity and this is visible through the progress she has made.

Miss Verity is such a wonderful kind and patient teacher and she knows the best angle to teach my boy Ryan. He really enjoys his time with Miss Verity and has progressed a lot in such a short time. I believe she nurtured my son in the important foundation start of his music learning journey. Highly recommended!!
Fiona H.
Verity has tutored my daughter for nearly 5 years. She’s well-organised, flexible, patient with my daughter, and pleasant to communicate with. I appreciate her dedication for her students. She always plans what she will teach before the lessons and writes down what she has taught during the lessons as well as the homework and major points to remember for my daughter. I highly recommend Verity to anyone looking for a Violin tutor.
Mona E.
My daughter has been learning to play violin with Miss Verity for over 4 years. She is very patient and encouraging with my little one. She pitches her lessons to the right level and each week my girl comes away feeling more confident and eager to learn more. I would recommend Verity to anyone with young children, she is fantastic!
Sarah M.
My daughter, Chloe, has been learning violin with Verity for almost one year now. Not only is Chloe learning how to read music and play the violin, she is also becoming more confident in her abilities as a young individual, which I am seeing transferred throughout every aspect of her life, including her schooling. As a parent, from the moment I met Verity, I have felt welcomed, supported and encouraged to be an active participant in Chloe's musical journey. She is an asset to our local community.

Verity has been teaching my daughter violin for the past four years and has been great with her. She is passionate, kind and patient, and through her excellent teaching methods, my daughter has picked up the instrument quickly and looks forward to her lesson each week. Verity is very professional at what she does and is a great communicator. I would recommend her to anyone interested in learning the violin.
