Alison Shorten

A Graduate from Maynooth University with a Bachelors of music Degree and a Masters in Musicology. With over 20 years violin experience and having played as part of orchestras and ensembles.

- Offering both practical and theory lesson to fully encompass the learning process.
- Typical lesson 30 minutes, grade 5 upwards 45-60 minutes.
- Lessons for all ages and all abilities, including any learning disabilities or special needs requirements (music is an excellent outlet for all no matter what level)
- I have played violin for over 20 years and have progressed students through both RIAM and ABRSM exams.

I offer a welcoming and comforting environment to all students. My aim is to make classical music more accessible and affordable to all who wish to play. By valuing music in our everyday lives, embracing it as an essential part of a healthy, vibrant society.

My vision is to create a community where everyone can experience inclusion, creativity, diversity and empowerment through music. My aim is to create this space for students to learn and grow.

I started violin lessons at the age of eight, and was apart of Orchestra and Ensembles from a young age. Supporting and nourishing a passion for music, no matter your circumstance, giving opportunities to create, play and perform music is my vision.
