Welcome!
About me
I am Jane Cameron, an experienced private music teacher based in Woking, Surrey. I have been teaching the Cello since 1995. I studied the cello at Trinity College of Music, London (now Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance), with Joely Koos and Naomi Butterworth, and later privately with Alison Moncrieff-Kelly. I have experience of both the Suzuki and Colourstrings methods, and use aspects of these in my teaching. I have also studied Kodaly musicianship with David Vinden and Dalcroze Eurythmics with Karin Greenhead.
I teach the Cello privately from my home studio in Woking. I offer tuition to students of all ages and abilities. Adult learners are particularly welcome. I am a member of the Independent Society of Musicians. I have a current enhanced DBS certificate and appropriate professional insurance. Online lessons may offered to new students. This is considered on a case by case basis.
My teaching style
I am a fun and inspirational teacher. I encourage my pupils to compose, attend and take part in concerts, and listen to recordings to broaden their musical outlook. We also do regular sight reading and aural test practice, and work on music theory in tandem with technique so that all aspects of musicianship are covered. I'm quite happy to help you work out how to play your favourite pop song, as well as a wide selection of more classical repertoire. I organise and run an informal concert each term for my students, so my pupils gain performance experience in a fun and supportive environment. I run a separate concert for my adult students as well as occasional ensemble sessions and social events.
