I began teaching my son Luke at the age of 5 directly on the viola (actually, a quarter-size violin with viola strings).

He progressed quickly and by the age of 9 won a prize for he highest mark in the country for his grade 7.

At 18 Luke went to study in Berlin, and having graduated, worked with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and other orchestras in Germany.

Luke is also the violist in the award-winning GEWANDHAUS QUARTETT and was for 4 years a member of the Staascapelle DRESDEN Orchestra. Now the 1st Solo Viola of the Gewandhaus Orchestra, Leipzig

How do I thank you enough for the past 7 years? You have been a truly inspiring teacher, always so enthusiastic and supportive. I will miss your lessons greatly and look forward to coming to play to you in the future and hopefully visiting you in Italy. Once again, thanks so much.
Where do I start?.. I guess THANK YOU! For all your help throughout the past 7+ years. I’ve really enjoyed my lessons wit you and have learnt such a lot from you. Tuscany was also such a wonderful experience and wouldn’t have been the same without Sarah’s hospitality. You’ve been so supportive throughout all my decisions at school, university and beyond. I know I owe you a great deal and will miss you very much. At least I will be able to see you from time to time at Academy. Thank you once again for everything.
Thank you so much for teaching me this year; it’s been fantastic fun and I really feel like I’ve made progress since September and especially since last year. I hope you have a lovely summer decorating and look forward to continuing my studies with you next year at Oxford University (fingers crossed !)
Thank you very much for teaching me the violin hope you have a lovely summer.
Thank you for teaching me the viola. You’ve been a great teacher, and I’m so grateful for all of the effort and encouragement you’ve given me over the past 9 years.
Thank you for a wonderfully enriching experience’ over the past four years. I can’t believe how much I’ve learnt from you. I will take it all with me for the rest of my life. Sorry that I haven’t always practised quite as much as I should have - but I am so determined to change that over the next few years, where I’ll hopefully have more time to practise at university. Remind me to get your address so I can write to you and keep you updated. Thanks for everything.
