Charmian Chan Violin Teacher

Charmian Chan Violin Teacher

I have learnt violin since I was the age of 5. I have learnt two types of violin studies: the Suzuki Method and AMEB method. I am currently doing 8th Grade AMEB and hope to complete my A.Mus.a in a couple of years.

I was awarded the Principle Violinist position and the Leader of the Orchestra position at my school. I competed in my school's concerto competition and placed in the top 5, earning myself an Honourable Mention. I have been awarded plaques at Music dinners at school, such as the Yarra Music Orchestra Award (2012), Bursary Award (2009) and the Middle School Strings Award (2009).

I have been a part of various ensembles, such as the Orchestra, Kriesler Strings (String Orchestra), Symphonic Band (on the flute), a Celtic Band, Senior Voices (choir), Blue Harmony (a selective choir) and a string quartet.

I would like to start of by teaching newcomers to the instrument by helping them with skills and the fun of learning some beautiful pieces.

If possible, I would like to play at weddings if other instruments can be sought out by the employer or if preferred, solo violin.

$40-$55/hr. My charging fee is negotiable depending on the age/level of student, event and where the tutoring/event takes place. ...read more
