Claire Rhiannon - Violinist - Treharris, Wales Event Location: Swansea Event Type: 103rd Birthday 15th December 2023
Claire was wonderful. Her warm personality and excellent performance made a very special memory for the whole family. A wide range of classical styles that she accomplished with ease. Would thoroughly recommend the experience.

Claire Rhiannon - Violinist - Treharris, Wales Event Location: Swindon Event Type: Private events 9th December 2023
I first saw Claire perform in 2022 for her unforgettable beautiful performance, that everyone talked about for months afterwards, as the highlight of the Badgerfest music festival, playing and singing celtic, and Nordic folk songs, with her violin adding to the hauntingly beautiful sound. I have since hired Claire twice for different family events, as she plays the violin with such beauty and feeling. She performed so thoughtfully at my father's funeral, bringing tears to our eyes with 'Time to say goodbye’. The notes are pure and emotional. It is such a joy to listen to her huge array of music choices. I also hired her a year later for my son’s wedding. She has the ability to be present in each style : Baroque and classical music , as well as contemporary pop songs. She truly creates a mesmerising and perfect atmosphere wherever she performs. Thank you, Claire, for playing with your heart.

I saw Claire playing in a wedding in Orchardleigh House and I thought she was fantastic and very well dressed and looked the part, her music was sublime. I would recommend Claire to play at any venue or wedding.

Online violin lessons

I have been a violin teacher for 8 years and have taught children from 3 - 18 as well as adults.

I have been credited with clear and inspiring methods of teaching and patience and understanding which has been integral to my success with my students. I offer bespoke lessons having the fundamental technique in classical methods but playing any genre including pop and folk

I let the student guide me with their favourite music so that there is always something they are enjoying but there will always be technique and studies running alongside this to balance the lessons and help them progress in skill and knowledge of the instrument. I will also introduce new genres intermittently to enrich their music development and open their mind to other ways the instrument and music can be enjoyed.
I can take them through grades if this is something you would like to do - either the ABRSM syllabus or Trinity
