A Wholistic Approach to Violin Learning

With over 20 years of teaching and professional performing experience, Rachele combines classical violin technique, performance skills, and physical awareness to nurture confident, expressive players.

Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and learning style, with a focus on:

  • Building solid technique from the start

  • Developing confident performance skills

  • Understanding musical expression

  • Cultivating enjoyable and effective practice habits

Rachele’s lessons are creative, supportive, and fun — helping every student connect deeply with music.

Individual Lessons and Ensembles

Private lessons are held in Rachele’s home studio in Katoomba.
For students who enjoy group music-making, Rachele also facilitates small string ensembles — matching players by level and musical interests for regular or semi-regular rehearsals.

Larger ensemble rehearsals and performances take place locally at Bursill Lane Studio in central Katoomba.

Rachele also leads the Strings Program at Blue Mountains Steiner School in Hazelbrook, reflecting her commitment to quality string education across the region.
