Jeremy Egerton

Australian born Violist Jeremy Egerton has worked with many renowned chamber ensembles and musicians in national and international festivals such as the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Academy Program, the Adam Summer School of Chamber music (New Zealand), and the Meadowmount School of Music (Westport NY). He has also toured nationally with the Australian Youth Orchestra, performing under the baton of renowned British conductor Sir Mark Elder. Jeremy completed his Bachelors Degree at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, a Masters degree in viola performance at the University of Massachusetts in the United States, and a graduate Diploma at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Jeremy has seven years of teaching experience, teaching students of all ages and levels. During his Masters degree he was employed by the University of Massachusetts as Graduate String Quartet quartet violist and as a Teaching Assistant, requiring him to schedule and teach weekly violin and viola lessons and to lead class activities for the General Music class.  

My violin and viola lessons are tailored towards students of all ages, with lessons based around their current musical and personal needs. 

I have experience in many practices such as stretching, relaxation, technical work (scales, exercises, etc.), musical games as well as various other learning activities. 

I focus a lot on releasing restrictive tension in the body, as my goal is to give my students the maximum freedom they can have to express themselves.

I aspire to teach fun and engaging lessons, with consideration on how music fits into the students everyday life; I endeavour to enable them to thrive not only as a musician, but as a human being.
