Hello, my name is Erica Hastie and I have over 25 years of experience playing violin. Originally from Scotland, I grew up surrounded by both classical and traditional music. I was the leader of my regional string orchestra and a member of the Edinburgh Highland Reel & Strathspey Fiddle Orchestra. Here in Queenstown, I regularly play Irish/Scottish music at local pub sessions - which makes me feel at home!

‍

I am a fully-trained primary school teacher and have experience teaching in Queenstown and the surrounding area.

‍

At Te Atamira, I currently provide;

• After-school violin lessons from my music teaching space at Te Atamira.

• Magical Music group classes, which is a music class for 2-5 year olds, on Monday & Wednesdays at 10am

‍

Please visit the Turn Up The Music website for more information on these classes.

I am occasionally available to perform violin at events and/or special occasions. In the past, I have played at weddings, concerts, featured on recorded songs and on TV. I am open to similar opportunities; please contact me directly regarding these.
