Individual Tuition
Tuition is now also available at Ice-Breaker Studios, Shore Road, Perth.
Karys provides private tuition in Scottish traditional fiddle, violin and beginner cello at her home in Birnam, Dunkeld in Perthshire. In a comfortable environment, students can be put at ease with very little distraction and the space to explore their instruments and develop new skills.
With years of experience and an open minded approach to teaching, time will be taken to find out what works best for every individual, enabling the best possible learning experience. If you work best with very specific goals in mind then a more rigid structure can be put in place. However, if you prefer to learn by trying different styles and moving in directions that suit you as you progress, a suitable learner lead approach can be taken.
With the strong belief that music should be available to everyone, all ages and abilities are welcome. Whether you wish to play purely for pleasure, or have a more serious outlook for your achievements, you will be taught to the best of your ability. However, the most important aspect of learning to play a musical instrument is that you have fun in doing so.
