TEACHING

Mrs Doubleday is an experienced teacher of the Violin, Viola, Piano and Theory of Music.
She has worked with Sheffield, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Birmingham Music Services, as well as teaching privately. Her pupils have achieved excellent results in examinations, have performed as soloists, are members of orchestras and some have gone on to study music at university.
Mrs Doubleday believes in learning through structure, fun and repetition. Lesson time is divided into scales, improvising, games, studies, pieces and aural tests. An organised lesson means that each element improves organically, creating a rounded musician, with a technical ability, an understanding of the instrument and a general musical knowledge. Using musical games, ensemble playing, sight-reading, singing, repetition, improvisation, composition and performing, Mrs Doubleday provides a variety of musical and educational techniques to ensure enjoyment, spontaneity and continuing progress.
Mrs Doubleday performs alongside the pupils throughout the lessons, either on the Piano, Violin or Viola, to provide accompaniment, ensemble experience and the chance for the pupils to watch and copy.
Pupils will be entered for Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music examinations, provided both student and parents/guardians are in agreement and the required standard is achieved. Other examination boards will be considered if and when necessary
Students will be encouraged to perform both as a soloist and as a member of an ensemble. Every year, Mrs Doubleday arranges a students' concert for family and friends.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to stay and watch the lessons and to take an active part in the student's musical education.
Mrs Doubleday is happy to give a consultation lesson (lasting 30 minutes) in order to help you decide whether she is the correct teacher for you and/or your child.
Mrs Doubleday is currently looking to expand her music studio, with many spaces available in the daytime for home-ed students or adults.
