Iveta Hlavenkova is a violin teacher in Leeds, giving individual private violin lessons both at her own studio within the Yorkshire College of Music & Drama, Leeds, and also through Roundhay Music, Leeds. In addition, she is a school violin teacher, notably Rawdon St Peter's CofE Primary School, Leeds.

Iveta has played the violin for over twenty years, and has been a violin teacher for six years. She believes that everyone has the ability to learn to play the violin, whatever their age. As the renowned teacher of violin Suzuki said... "Talent is not inherited or inborn but has to be educated and developed". Iveta uses Suzuki's principles to guide her own violin teaching methods. In particular, Iveta believes that learning to play the violin as an instrument is just the first step to being able to play music!
 
Because she is bilingual in English and Czech, Iveta knows that learning the language of music is very similar to learning any other new language. With sufficient effective practice, students can become as skilled at playing the violin as at speaking their own language.
