Hello
My name is Elaine Wilson
Originally from Cork, Ireland, Elaine started her Suzuki violin journey at the age of 4 with Patricia Kelleher. She continued her violin studies and obtained a BMus 1st-Hons in 2007 from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She obtained her BSI (now BSMA) Level 1-4 Suzuki qualifications under the tutelage of Mysie Ferguson before completing her Level 5 ESA Diploma at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp, under Veerle Van Gorp, Wilfred Van Gorp, Wim Meuris and Koen Rens.
Since 2017 Elaine has continued to train and qualify in Suzuki Viola and Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE).
Elaine has performed with professional orchestras across the UK and Ireland including the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the Irish Baroque Orchestra.
Elaine maintains a private Suzuki studio in both Glasgow and Ayr and is regularly invited to teach across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. She co-founded and now directs the Glasgow Suzuki Workshop which is in its ninth year and incorporates Violin, Viola, Cello, Piano, and Chamber Music.
About the Suzuki Method
The Suzuki Method of music education is based on the philosophy and teaching methods developed by the Japanese violinist, pedagogue, educator and humanitarian, Dr Shinichi Suzuki. The British Suzuki Music Association is responsible for training teachers in the Suzuki Method and supporting its membership of families involved in the Suzuki movement.
British Suzuki is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to its purpose.
