What people have said...

"Cynthia Fleming is an excellent, knowledgeable and caring teacher that I could recommend to anyone, considered one of the best and most effective ever to teach on the Ciaccona International Music Course."

Dona Lee Croft, Director,

Ciaccona International

Music Course,

Professor of Violin at the

Royal College of Music, 1985-2014

"The violin lessons with Cynthia Fleming have rekindled my love of the instrument and have inspired me to invest time and energy practicing. I am in my mid-seventies – Cynthia’s encouragement has given me hope and proof that it is never too late for learning and for making new discoveries!"

Vreni Gould LRAM,

retired member of AGIP

(Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy)

"After such a successful performing career Cynthia has such an understanding and wealth of knowledge about violin playing to impart and I find her lessons truly inspirational. She is gradually helping me to transform my playing by analysing the various technical issues that need addressing and then demonstrating and explaining very clearly how to work to improve. She is always encouraging, and I find her insight and approach has also helped me enormously with my own violin teaching too. I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with her."

"Cynthia Fleming has a great natural gift for teaching the young and not so young. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she manages to get the best out of her pupils, whatever their talent, and encourages them to achieve more and have faith in their playing. Lessons are fun and so constructive."

Jane Taunton, viola,

Royal Tunbridge Wells

Symphony Orchestra

"It was a privilege to have Cynthia work with some of our most advanced players, putting them through their paces in front of an invited audience of staff, parents and fellow students. From the outset, she established a good relationship with the students, always sensitive to their technical and musical needs, and flexible in her approach according to their level of ability. She gave valuable guidance to the girls, working them hard and enabling each to improve her overall standard. Cynthia's masterclasses were a highly informative and enjoyable experience for players and audience members alike."
