Kimberley is an instrumentalist from London, UK, specialising in the violin and piano. Her musical journey started at the age of 6, when she started taking instrumental lessons. 

At 9 years old, Kimberley signed up for a beginner string orchestra, working her way up to the Watford Youth Orchestra years later. During her time at University, Kimberley’s musical skills broadened drastically. Whilst trained classically, Kimberley took part in many pit bands for musical theatre shows, as well as film concert orchestras. She also debuted as a folk soloist in 2021, touring the UK’s south coast and London in Bob Christianson’s ‘A Christmas Carol in concert’. 

After spending 4 years at the University of Chichester Conservatoire, Kimberley had achieved her BMus in Music Performance and spent another year there to achieve an MA in Music Performance in 2023. Since graduating, Kimberley has trained as a teacher with Hertfordshire and Hampshire Music Services, teaching lessons of 1-1, group and whole class. Whilst teaching, Kimberley has performed at notable venues such as Goodwood House & Racecourse, Cadogan Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and has recorded at the infamous Abbey Road studios. As a freelance violinist, Kimberley has played under the baton of great Maestros, including Antonio Pappano, Crispin Ward, and baroque specialist Julia Bishop, and has played alongside members of the English Sinfonietta and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. 

As a teacher, Kimberley can adapt efficiently to the student’s needs. By focusing on technique and musical interpretation, she encourages her students to bring music to life from the very beginning of their musical journey. She finds it very important for students to enjoy what they play, and so she invites students to try all types of genres, not just classical. Kimberley believes that joining an ensemble is also incredibly beneficial as this allows students to dive into more amazing repertoire, thus improving their listening skills and forming friendships with other musicians.
