Una Shea

I am a creative educator with a passion for child-centered education spanning over ten years.

Having started my violin studies in early childhood, I hold a first class degree from the Royal
Welsh College of Music and Drama in Violin Performance and a MA in Music Psychology from
the University of Sheffield. Alongside this, I am a certified Montessori teacher for ages 0-3, as
well as a certified Suzuki violin teacher with the Suzuki Association of the Americas.

While teaching, I prioritize finding the joy in making music. I aim to meet every student where
they are both individually and musically, to find the best fit to achieve their goals in our lessons. I
am an avid supporter of life long learning, and am dedicated to continue to grow my knowledge
through professional development opportunities as well as personal reflection of my
week-to-week teaching practice.

Over my time as a musician, I have taken part in numerous orchestras and ensemble tours
including the Vienna Youth Symphony Orchestra, as well as the National Youth Orchestra of
Wales. Outside of my instrumental teaching, I am a creative workshop facilitator and an avid
crafter
