Tamblyne Cooper

I am a professional singer and violinist with 15 years of experience performing in the entertainment industry. Alongside my performance career, I hold a Master of Teaching and have extensive experience teaching students aged 3–70 in both private and school settings. I teach violin, vocals and beginner viola, catering to students at a range of stages in their musical development.

My teaching approach is enthusiastic, supportive and engaging, creating a fun learning environment that encourages students to explore their musical interests and achieve their personal goals. I tailor my teaching methods and learning programs to suit each individual, recognising that everyone learns differently and progresses at their own pace.

I am a firm believer in the power of creative expression and the importance of building confidence through music. I believe students are best able to express themselves creatively when they feel confident in their abilities and genuinely enjoy the learning process. My aim is to help every student develop this confidence while nurturing their musicality through a balanced combination of practical skills, music theory and creative exploration.

With experience in songwriting and musical arranging, I can also create and adapt music to suit each student's individual ability and learning needs. Whether simplifying a piece to make it more accessible, creating a customised arrangement or helping students source music they aspire to learn, I aim to make their musical goals achievable while continuing to challenge and inspire them.

Lessons take place in my home music studio, equipped with a piano that I use to accompany students and support their musical development. Students also gain access to my dedicated teaching website, featuring resources tailored to their individual needs and learning goals. Where beneficial, I incorporate customised backing tracks to complement lessons, build performance confidence and provide students with engaging opportunities to practise and develop their skills.
