Chamber music Coaching for Students, Professionals & Amateurs

I'm Susie Mészáros, chamber music professor at the Royal College of Music and the Royal Northern College of Music and violist with the Chilingirian Quartet.

I'm based in Manchester where I teach string quartets and give chamber music coaching at the RNCM. I work with young players, teach private students and amateurs. I offer Zoom online teaching.

String Quartet Coaching in time of Covid

We've all become familiar with Zoom teaching over the past year. Zoom has opened up teaching students and amateurs from across the country. I have students in China, Turkey and across the north West of England. If you're curious about how this works, contact me here for more details.

Describing My Teaching Approach

My website features many videos, interviews with students, masterclasses which can give you some idea of how I teach. I'll be adding new resources frequently. You can see 3 short masterclass videos on Walton's Viola Concerto at Royal Northern College of Music with, 'Susie Xin, in January 2020.  Or find out about my decisive musical influence and teacher, Sándor Végh.

I’m looking forward to exploring aspects of string quartet performance and teaching, aimed at young professionals, amateurs. I will be looking at issues in performance, areas that feature with conservatoire students, essentially getting to grips with aspects that challenge players.

Hopefully it should be interesting, illuminating and of value to student quartets and amateur players.

As part of this, I'll be featuring short videos, interviews and podcasts with myself, young players and professional colleagues. The best learning and insights come from dialogue. I look forward to hearing from you!

Best wishes at this time of Coronavirus
