Hi, I’m Ciara and I teach piano, violin, ukulele, double bass and music theory.
I started learning piano at age 11, followed by double bass a few years later (once I was tall enough!) and I’ve followed my passion for music all the way through to an undergraduate degree at the University of Sheffield and now a PhD in Renaissance Musicology.
After getting my very first job as a student music teacher at 16, I fell in love with teaching and inspiring others to have the same passion for music that I do, and I have been teaching for over 8 years now alongside completing my studies. I love to use the skills I have gained from my degree to inspire my students, and you will often find me arranging song requests by students to fit their skill level. My teaching focus is always on creating a fun and productive learning environment for students to give them the confidence and skills to reach their musical potential, whatever that may be.
