Rosie Toll Rosie Toll studied classical violin with Kay Dorling and Polly Waterfield. She started going to Irish sessions aged 15 and learnt to play in the Irish style by listening and learning from the musicians around her. She has been in bands as a fiddle player since the mid 90s with her main success being Celtica, a folk/world crossover band who she toured extensively with for 10 years in the UK and Europe. Celtica had an eclectic line up including didjeridoo and African djembes, Spanish cajon alongside traditional folk instruments and electronics. She has performed at many of the major music festivals including Glastonbury and also the folk festivals including Sydmouth and Towersy. Her other projects include 'Twizzle', a contemperary folk duo and most recently a trad Irish band 'The Rampant Horse Collective' who have just performed at Stainsby folk festival alongside the likes of Chris wood and Rory Mcleod.

She has also collaborated with her father Mike Toll writing and improvising music for his films and art installations.   These days Rosie is mainly working as a Suzuki violin teacher after completing her training with the British Suzuki Institute in London in 2009. She is passionate about teaching and hopes most of all to help bring about a love of music and help guide her students onto an individual musical pathway that is right for them whether it is baroque, classical, folk, jazz or improvising that they enjoy. She regularly teaches at workshops and summer schools across the country and also composes and is musical director for Shine Musical Theatre Project which works with children from areas of socio-economic deprivation in Norwich. She is currently enjoying being a mum for the first time! Lucinda Mackworth-Young Lucinda Mackworth-Young enjoys encouraging everyone to perform. Besides adjudicating, she is a pioneering consultant, lecturer and writer in psychology for musicians, an experienced concert pianist and a teacher.  Well known for her entertaining approach she puts psychology into relevant and practical forms to inspire and refresh music teaching, learning and performing.  One of her visions is that all who play or sing should feel able to do so with full blooded heart and soul, enthusiasm and enjoyment, and without any anxiety. Another is that all who learn to play should learn not only by reading notes, but also by ear and through improvisation, so becoming truly spontaneous and versatile as musicians. She is currently developing a step-by-step method of playing by ear and improvising.  Lucinda runs courses under her association Music, Mind and Movement including a week's summer course for music teachers and performers by the sea in Aberystwyth. She provides course work for the leading professional development courses run by the Associated Board, the Incorporated Society of Musicians at Reading University and the European Piano Teachers Association. In 2008 she was appointed EPTA UK's Director of the Practical Piano Teaching Course which is run at The Purcell School of Music. She is a freelance lecturer for music teaching societies, universities, colleges and in-service teacher training and she writes extensively having had many articles and chapters published in Rhinegold, Faber, ABRSM and EPTA publications. Her highly successful and readable book TUNING IN: Practical Psychology for Musicians was published in 2001.
