She is an experienced director of children's and student ensembles and has also worked as an examiner for Trinity College, London.. I must thank you so much, so much, so much. Without you I would never have had the chance to study in the Royal College of Music, hence cannot graduate from there. It has been six years since I first met you, and in these years I have learned so much from you, as a cellist, as a musician and as a human. Glenis, you are a wonderful cello teacher. I have enjoyed learning cello from you in the past and I will always remember what you have told me’. Fan Yeung, now conductor of the Hong Kong University Students’ Orchestra
‘Dear Mrs Malkin, I started doing the cello because I liked the instrument, but now I am looking forward to the lessons not just because I loved playing the lovely music, but because I think you are a great teacher. I hope I have a great big career with my cello and I hope you are the one who taught me.’
Lia, aged 9
‘I have such fond memories of your truly wonderful, warm and unique teaching’. Former pupil Gabriella Swallow
"Glenis Malkin has been a marvellous role model for my daughter. Her endless knowledge of music has inspired her during each lesson and consequently she has achieved a distinction at each grade. She has taught her to play confidently and sensitively; playing a wide range of contemporary and classical pieces. She is a fantastic teacher and has enabled my daughter to grow in confidence as a musician - long may it continue!"
