Charlotte

Charlotte is a recent Master’s graduate in Music Teaching from University of Chichester Conservatoire, soon after completing her BA (Hon) in the same field. She is a classically trained pianist and violinist, attaining Grade 8 in both, as well as Grade 5 Theory. Having played both for 18 years due to her early love of music, her Mauritian/Irish background and culturally enriched upbringing in the Middle East and Northern Ireland has spanned her across the globe already with her performance and learning. She is versatile in all genres in which she plays and teaches, ranging from Baroque to Benny Goodman! 

Over the last four years, Charlotte has been a key and valued member of a very active and performance-based music department. This has taken her to Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival performing to star-studded crowds with the Sleepy Lagoon Orchestra. She swaps her violin for keyboard, playing with its smaller function band, Sleepy Lite – appearing at private and public events regularly. Charlotte also enjoys being part of theatre pit bands and staged productions. She continues to play with international and local symphonic orchestras across West/East Sussex.

Charlotte has a passion for musical outreach and making music education accessible.She promotes a motivated and creative environment for her students and tailors each lesson according to the students skill and ability. She believes a solid technical foundation and a collaborative approach results in a successful outcome overall. Whether it be as a hobby, perform for a concert or to be exam-ready. Charlotte encourages exploration in improvisation, ensemble work and overall enjoyment, but firmly believes sightreading is invaluable and weaves this into lessons regularly. Charlotte looks forward to her relocation to Hove, East Sussex to continue her teaching and is looking forward to working with tomorrow’s bright talent!
