Lavinia studied music at Bristol University and then continued piano studies to Diploma Level with Ronald Lees. After a brief spell teaching music in schools she started piano teaching from home while bringing up her family of three children. Her first encounter with the Suzuki method was through her 3-year old daughter’s violin teacher. She was intrigued to discover that the same idea could work for piano and started to train as a Suzuki teacher in 1983. Having completed the 5 levels of graduation in this country she spent three months in Japan in 1990 working with Haruko Kataoka and observing Shinichi Suzuki’s own teaching. She has around 30 pupils and is an assistant teacher trainer for the British Suzuki Institute.
