A graduate of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Simònne works as a freelance musician and teacher. She enjoys exploring a wide range of musical styles and is committed to helping young musicians develop both their technical skills and musical imagination.

Her teaching experience includes individual lessons, small-group tuition, whole-class teaching, workshops, and chamber ensemble coaching. During her studies, she was involved in the ARCO project, supporting young musicians in Soweto, South Africa. As a performer, Simònne has appeared at leading venues across Europe, including the Elbphilharmonie, Royal Concertgebouw, and Verbier Festival, and has held leadership positions in several orchestras.
