Susan Davis - violin teacher

24-10-2015 by Engelbert Dsozua

"Our children Gabrielle (15 yrs.) and Nathan (13 yrs.) began to learn the violin with Susan about four years ago. During this time, their technique has improved tremendously and they now play with a richer tone and vibrato. Susan has taught them many new techniques, and gives them various tips to strengthen their overall capability. Her style of teaching is one of coach, mentor and guide. From the way she teaches the children, we know that she is passionate about the violin and this comes through strongly. She is patient but firm with the children and her loving approach has made learning the violin an enjoyable experience for the children. With Susan as their teacher they have completed their Trinity violin grades up to 4 and will be appearing for grade 5 in Nov15. Thanks Susan"
