Anna Bacon

Anna places strong emphasis on building secure, healthy musical foundations in a positive, supportive, and enjoyable way. Lessons focus on developing good technique, relaxed posture, and a beautiful, well-produced tone. Technical work such as scales and arpeggios is introduced sensitively and at an appropriate pace, always linked to the music being studied so that pupils understand its purpose and stay motivated. She provides constructive, actionable advice in each lesson while building the student's confidence and enjoyment.

Music theory is integrated naturally to support musical understanding, and Anna prepares pupils for the Aural tests required in exams. Younger pupils often enjoy singing as part of their lessons. Anna also accompanies pupils for their ABRSM violin exams up to Grade 5, so parents do not need to arrange a separate accompanist.
Beyond exams, pupils explore a wide and engaging repertoire, including music beyond the ABRSM syllabus. Anna ensures that all her pupils — whether young beginners, advanced children, or adults returning to the violin — develop real musical understanding, confidence, and a lasting enjoyment of playing.
