MEET THE MUSIC MENTORS
ELLA W
Piano/ Keyboard, Viola
Hi there, my name is Ella and I would love to become a music mentor in either viola or piano practice to share my passion for music. I have done my grade 8 on piano and I am planning to do my grade 8 on viola at the end of June. For anyone learning an instrument motivation is so important yet sometimes you just need that extra bit of help to make practicing more enjoyable and fun. For me, this was my mum who often encouraged me to practice and helped me to get the notes right and learn pieces. I would love to be a music mentor for exactly these reasons and I hope I may be some help to someone!

I'll be supervising violin, singing and piano, and I have completed grade 8 on all three.

I would like to be a music mentor as I would love to encourage everyone playing an instrument to really enjoy it and achieve the very best of their ability.

Flute
I have enjoyed and been fascinated by music my entire life, having been a chorister from age 8-13, and continuing my musical education through choirs, orchestras and currently A level music. I would like to become a music mentor to be able to become involved and give back to a community of musicians that shape me, and to begin exploring what it feels like to be on the support and teaching side of musical education, to explore whether that could be a career option for me.
