About Erola Masqur

With more than six years of teaching experience, I shape every lesson around your unique needs and goals. My approach draws from traditional Russian school methods alongside Suzuki and Rolland principles, woven together with more contemporary, creative ways of learning. I also bring my active performing career directly into the classroom, making each session as alive and musical as possible. Stylistically, I enjoy working across different worlds, from classical to folk and other contemporary styles, allowing each student to discover the sound and repertoire that resonates most with them. Many of my students have gone on to achieve excellent results in ABRSM exams, and where that is a goal, we will build a clear and realistic plan together. I welcome students of all ages. For younger learners from around seven years old, having a parent present during lessons creates a calm and encouraging atmosphere and allows progress to continue naturally at home, even without any prior musical knowledge. For adults, I truly believe it is never too late to begin. Many of my adult students find that regular practice becomes one of the most meaningful parts of their week. As a First Class graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and an active performer with several chamber orchestras and the Quartet Calders, I bring professional experience directly into my teaching. I have had the privilege of learning from some of the most inspiring pedagogues working today, including Mimi Zweig, Lutsia Ibragimova, Dora Schwarzberg and Boris Kuschnir, and this informs everything I offer my students. After every lesson, you will receive tailored materials including practice plans, exercises, and listening recommendations to keep your progress steady and motivating between sessions.
