I’m a Dublin-based violin and viola teacher and performer. 

I offer in-person lessons in Dún Laoghaire and online music lessons, with a teaching approach tailored to each individual.

With over ten years of teaching experience, I have helped students achieve First Prizes, Gold Awards, medals, and special awards at international competitions. I also prepare students for Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM) examinations. 

A particular strength of my profile is the combination of two formal areas of study — pedagogy and violin.

I studied Pedagogy at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, where I received the Prešeren Award, the highest academic distinction for students in Slovenia.

I completed my Diploma in Music in violin and viola with distinction at the Gustav Mahler Private University in Klagenfurt, Austria.

This dual academic background is one of the defining strengths of my teaching, allowing me to combine high-level musical training with a deep understanding of how students learn and develop, and to provide each student with individualised guidance tailored to their potential and goals.

Alongside teaching, I have an active performing background and have worked with professional orchestras and ensembles in the EU. I have also served as a jury member for Slovenia’s leading national competition for young musicians.

I believe great teaching is about more than playing the right notes — it is about helping each student become a confident, expressive, and independent musician.
