Anelise Gamulescu
– Piano
Hi! I am Anelise, and I am currently a scholarship award student at the Royal Academy of Music. I had my first piano lesson at the age of 3, and I fell in love instantly. I hope I can introduce and show you the beauty of piano playing in a friendly and positive environment and help you navigate the ins and outs of tricky and fun repertoire.
Jenny Gao
– `violin – voice
Hello, my name is Jenny, and I am currently a student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire. I previously studied at Purcell School and Guildhall School for Music with Scholarships to study voice and violin. My love for music began with the violin; this gave me the musicality I needed. Then, later on in my journey, I found that I enjoyed singing the most. I think the essential part of teaching is focusing on what makes you happy then building on the foundations after as I find this the key to growing and developing as a musician. I have experience teaching beginners to students who want to take their ABRSM exams. I have helped students of mine enter auditions for Junior Conservatoires and all my students receive distinctions on their ABRSM exams. I am very excited to find more students who want to share this journey together!

Hello, I am Djordje. I have been playing the piano since the age of five. I hold a Distinction in ABRSM Grade 8 Piano and a Distinction in Grade 7 Music Theory. I have over a year of teaching experience, and I would love to help you learn the piano, whether that be by guiding you through some repertoire of your choice or preparing you for a practical exam or even a music theory exam.
Angelina lee
– voice – viola
Hello, my name is Angelina, and I am a student at the Royal Academy of Music, studying with Raymond Connell and Marie Vassiliou. I previously studied at Purcell School for two years to study voice and violin as a second study.
In recent years, I’ve obtained my ARSM Diploma for voice as well as Trinity LTCL diploma for both the violin and viola. I was also awarded the St. John’s Cathedral Cecilia Kwok Church Music Scholarship for three consecutive years.
I’ve participated in different courses, such as the Vocal Summer School for Classical Singers at Guildhall, and the Rudolfus Foundation Choral Course in Oxford. This gave me opportunities to work with professionals in the field, including Marilyn Rees, Theresa Globe and Nicola-Jane Kemp.

Hi, my name is Charles, I am currently a student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, majoring in vocal studies. For the last 13 years, I have been studying different genres of vocal music which provide me with multiple insights into the details of techniques. With my past experiences, I believe in freedom of expression through music while keeping the original intent of the composer which allows you to create your interpretation and grow as an individual in a healthy and enjoyable environment.
