About Germa
Germa is an accomplished violinist and passionate educator based in the West Midlands. As an active performer, she brings a wealth of real-world experience to her teaching, providing her students with valuable insights into the professional music world. Germa is a dedicated violin teacher, where she focuses on developing her students' technical skills and musicality, with a particular emphasis on sound quality, precision and sonic exploration where students are challenged to improvise and contextualise their use of sound. This individualized approach allows her to give each student the full attention they need to thrive.
In addition to her private teaching practice, Germa is an experienced workshop facilitator and educator in schools. She holds both Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), which enable her to effectively engage with students across a variety of settings. Over the past six years, Germa has built a reputation for successfully coaching students through performance exams for various examination boards, preparing them not only for assessments but also for their long-term musical development.
Germa strongly believes that violin teachers bear the important responsibility of passing on a solid foundation of both technique and musicianship. She sees her role as guiding students toward becoming self-sufficient learners, who can eventually teach themselves and pass on their knowledge to others. To achieve this, she tailors her teaching methods to suit the unique needs of each student, recognizing that every learner absorbs information in different ways. This personalized approach ensures that each student gains a deep and meaningful understanding of their violin studies.
In her teaching, Germa encourages the performance of various musical styles and takes a holistic approach to developing rhythmic and melodic language. She incorporates listening, singing, memorization, and repetition exercises to foster well-rounded musicianship, helping students gain a deeper connection to the music they play.

She prefers to work with a smaller number of students, allowing her to focus on quality and provide the attention necessary for meaningful progress. Additionally, Germa offers online teaching, making her expertise accessib...
