Elaine Round

I am a friendly, enthusiastic and committed teacher with 22 years teaching experience. I am versatile and always tailor my teaching to each pupil's needs and preferences, focusing on enjoyment, expression and quality technique. From the beginning, I teach students the correct techniques to facilitate optimal tone production in all dynamics and registers, and how to use their diaphragm to drastically improve breath control. I have a 100% pass rate for students I have entered for exams, with 83% achieving merits and distinctions.

I have had a wide range of playing experience, ranging from playing in various orchestras to exploring many different musical styles. I compose, improvise, record and perform music with a wide range of musicians, forming many diverse projects and bands. I currently work as an internationally touring musician and music producer. I have toured many different countries, and make regular releases. I also work as a session musician.
