Hi! I'm Mike, your potential violin/viola teacher!
I’m a Grade 8 violist originally from Patagonia, Argentina, now based in Llanelli, South Wales.

I started learning the violin at age 8, almost 20 years ago. I moved on to the viola later on, which became my main instrument.

Over the years I've been immersed in diverse musical experiences, exploring various methodologies and approaches to music...
Hi! I'm Mike, your potential violin/viola teacher!
I’m a Grade 8 violist originally from Patagonia, Argentina, now based in Llanelli, South Wales.

I started learning the violin at age 8, almost 20 years ago. I moved on to the viola later on, which became my main instrument.

Over the years I've been immersed in diverse musical experiences, exploring various methodologies and approaches to music. I've participated in workshops, ensembles, and orchestras, and studied Music Teaching at IUPA, a university of Patagonia, specializing in the Viola.

While continuing to grow in my own skills, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with others! Since 2024 I'm working in a local music school as a Violin tutor, as well as offering private tuition. So whether you’re a complete beginner or have been playing for a while, I’d be thrilled to guide you on your own musical journey.

I know that every student has their own unique pace and goals, so I try to make my lessons flexible, student-focused, and make sure you feel comfortable, make steady progress, and enjoy the process!

As I'm interested in growing my teaching experience, I’m offering my lessons at an accesible and competitive rate. Plus, you can have a free trial lesson with no commitment, so you can see if it's your thing :)

Whether it’s for you or your child, as a beginner or an experienced player, learning for grades or just for fun, I’m here to help!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Mike

I cannot recommend Mike enough! He has been an absolute joy to work with and has made a tremendous impact on my 8-year-old daughter’s musical journey so far. From the very first lesson, it was clear that Mike has a deep understanding of how to make learning the violin both fun and effective for young children. What I appreciate most is his ability to break down complex techniques into simple, age-appropriate steps. He has a knack for explaining things in a way that resonates with kids, making the learning process feel natural and enjoyable. My daughter has developed a solid foundation in posture, bowing, and finger placement, all while maintaining her enthusiasm for the instrument in just a few lesson - I would highly recommend Mike!

Thank you so much for your kind comments, Rebecca! It's truly rewarding to see your daughter's enthusiasm growing alongside her skills. I'm so glad she's finding the lessons both fun and effective. She's a joy to teach, and it's been a real pleasure guiding her along. I'm looking forward to continuing our work together!

In just a few lessons with Mike so far I have found a lot of improvement! Mike is very kind in his approach and his attention to the details in technique and posture has helped me improve my vibrato and bowing to achieve a much better tone in my performance. He has been incredibly committed to help me with a very tough piece I’ve been learning as well as being flexible enough to change plans when I had something a lot simpler to prepare for a concert I was playing with an urgent deadline. If I don’t quite understand something Mike finds a way to re-explain the techniques in a way that I understand, never judging me for not quite getting it at first. My confidence has grown lots and I can’t thank him enough! Highly recommended
