Composer, musician, violin/piano teacher
Piano or violin music lessons in the Nottingham area
Welcome! I am Nataly Stevens, the founder of “ My Music 4 You”. I am a composer, musician and music teacher. I offer one to one or online piano/ or violin lessons. Please see Contact me page.
Composer
I compose for the violin and piano and I also have written quartets. Some of my quartets were performed at the summer concerts in Southwell. I rehearsed and performed my music with some wonderful people from a local Orchestra and happy to say, it was very well received.
My recent composition, Cadenzas for 5 Violin Concertos by W.A. Mozart is my most enjoyable work up to date. Recently I have also written a Violin Concerto and various violin and piano musical pieces.
Violin and Piano lessons
Lessons are for everyone who would like to learn to play violin or piano. Beginners, intermediate or advance learners are welcome. I am a qualified and very experienced music teacher and have a MA in music. I have taught music privately and in schools for many years. My teaching is based on best practices and learning strategies from international and British schools, with an individual approach to every student. I teach from home or online and have a current DBS certificate.
Musician
My first study and first love is piano; my everlasting love is violin. Needless to say, I enjoy performing. Playing my violin and piano is my daily reward and my most favourite pastime. I play and perform regularly with the Nottingham Symphony Orchestra.
