Anna Bacon was born in London, studied at the Royal College of Music and Cambridge University obtaining an MA Honours degree. At Cambridge she appeared as a soloist and performed at several concerts including with Emmanuel College Choir. Anna has been teaching (violin, piano and theory) for many years to children aged 4-17 and adults from beginner to diploma level. She has tutored the violin section of the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain and several of her pupils have been awarded music scholarships to top independent schools and places in the National Children’s Orchestra of GB. She successfully prepares pupils for their ABRSM exams with a 100% success rate for pupils being awarded either Merit or Distinction.
Anna has performed at venues such as the Barbican, St. John’s Smith Square and Royal Albert Hall and under the batons of Keith Lockhart, Adrian Brown, John Landor, Anastasios Strikos and Tim Garrard. As a 1st violinist Anna regularly performs with I Maestri Orchestra, London Concert Sinfonia, Albion Chamber Orchestra and sings with Westminster Choral Society. She regularly attends Master classes at the Royal College of Music and Royal Academy of Music, including classes with Nicola Benedetti, Ivry Gitlis, Alina Ibramigova, Gyorky Pauk, Maxim Vengerov and Pinchas Zukerman. Anna has 2 teenage boys of her own, both violinists, and therefore appreciates the needs of both children and adults. She is a passionate advocate for music and believes music unites us and can be enjoyed by all children no matter what their ability level is.

Anna is the "real deal"… the perfect mix of enthusiasm, encouragement and attention to detail combined with just the right amount of firmness (with both pupil and parent!).
Every lesson is packed with careful feedback and new content. Her comprehensive practice notes have been invaluable in ensuring my son's practice is productive.
I have been amazed at her commitment to support my son during the Covid-19 lockdown, continuing lessons on Skype and providing email / text feedback in between lessons.
Were it not for Anna, my son would not be enjoying his violin as much as he is or making such great progress.Anna is a amazing with teaching boys generally across different subjects such as Math, English, Social Studies, Music Theory, Reading and Writing. She masters an artful balance between patience, discipline and making learning fun and interesting for boys.
That's fantastic learning experience to come to the UK! It's amazing that Anna let my daughter fall in love with the violin. Anna is very professional and elegant and intellectual. We will always remember every time we have a good time and study with Anna. Thanks for Anna's patience again! Looking forward to seeing you next year!
We have been extremely pleased with Anna--she is reliable, caring and clearly dedicated to music. She makes each lesson personal, responding to the student's ability and learning style.She is inspiring and her excitement for the violin is infectious.
Anna has been teaching violin to our daughter for two years now. Nina is looking forward to every lesson and comes out with a big smile on her face.
Her confidence has developed tremendously.
More than teaching violin, Anna shares her love of music with Nina which is a true gift.Anna has an inspiration to my daughter. She is dedicated, enthusiastic, patient and very knowledgeable. Her attention to detail is superb and she is able to translate her passion of the instrument to pupils in a caring and focused way. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
