About Francis

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have taught privately for over 10 years. Currently I am employed part-time at West London Free School in Hammersmith and I also teach with Music House for Children in Shepherd's Bush and Ealing Junior Music School. I have also taught at Highbury Grove School, London as part of the Music First programme for secondary age students. I have also tutored orchestras, for violin and viola, such as the English School's Orchestra, Barnet Youth Orchestra and Marryat Players.

I perform with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, including various other freelance ensembles - notably a jazz septet lead by Kate Williams (performances at Cambridge, Birmingham and London Jazz Festivals including Pizza Express Soho and 606 Club)

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

My DBS is fully up to date

- Where and with whom did you train?

During my studies at the Royal College of Music, including elsewhere on masterclasses and courses, I have played for and learned from many high profile musicians in the field. These include members of the Belcea, Sacconi, Chilingirian, Vogler, Yyase and Fine Arts String Quartets in addition to Jennifer Stumm, Predrag Katanic, Garfield Jackson, Martin Outram, Maxim Vengerov, Yuko Inoue, Yuri Zhislin and Jonathon Barritt.
As part of my studies I have performed with the Philharmonia and the London Symphony Orchestra

- Tell me about some of your current students.

I have about 20 at my school. They all really enjoy their lessons and we have a lot of fun - they particularly enjoy making up their own song, with my own assistance, and performing it to their families!
(plus none of them make a scratchy sound!!)
