Samantha Wickramasinghe

Hi there and welcome!

Member of West Australian Symphony Orchestra. Prior to Perth I performed full time with the UK's major ensembles over a 20 year period. I worked with The London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra of the Royal Opera house and most of the city's major orchestras. I was a scholarship student at the Royal Academy of Music, London, and was prize winner of the Royal Overseas League, Tunnell Trust and Park Lane Group competitions. Regular session musician at Abbey Road Studios, performing with pop stars, for film scores and TV. My playing experience covers a broad spectrum, so whatever your musical dreams, I can help you nurture them.

I am also a fully qualified violin teacher, holding an LRAM teaching diploma. I will train students for AMEB/ABRSM/Trinity exams, A-level/ATAR, competitions, auditions and provide chamber music coaching. I hold a 100% exam pass rate. I also hold Working with Children and National Police Certificates here in Australia.

I have a friendly, imaginative approach, with young children in particular, and adult pupils are most welcome. My teaching style is relaxed, but with a solid focus on sturdy technical foundations. I will listen carefully to your goals and come up with a tailor made programme to make them happen. My ultimate mission is to open up all of my students to the wonderful and endless possibilities that music making brings, and to instil a long term love for all things violin!
