My primary focus is on creating a personal connection and approach to the chosen instruments and to music in general. This includes (depending on your wishes, of course) your own musical expression, improvisation, songwriting (with lyrics if desired), song accompaniment and improvisation, as well as music theory and instrument-specific references.

Stylistically, the focus is on blues, rock, folk pop and world music, with strong references and influences from classical music, hip hop, electronic music and jazz.

Course for beginners and advanced students

My course focuses on the personal realtion between the individual, the chosen instruments and the music itself. This includes musical expression, improvisation, songwriting, songwriting, interpretation as well as music theory and specific aspects of the instrument.

My musical background lies between blues, folk, rock, pop and world music with influences from classical, as well as electronic music, hip hop and jazz.

Orchestral musician and chamber musician, holder of a double master's degree in pedagogy and performance in France and abroad, I would be happy to accompany you on the way to learning violin. With 15 years of experience, I teach musical initiation, music theory and the viola that I have practiced in chamber music and of course the violin, my main instrument with which I perform in several orchestras and ensembles.

Since I have been teaching violin and music, not a day goes by that I tell myself that motivation and pleasure are the biggest drivers of learning. This is why I always favor during my classes a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to work. Technique is of course very important to me, but it is not just an end in itself.

Do you want to learn music? In my lessons, children, teenagers and adults discover the world of music in a motivated way - regardless of whether they are beginners or have previous knowledge.
With my five years of experience as a music teacher at a primary school, I know how to make lessons exciting and goal-oriented.

My name is Léna, and I offer violin lessons for all ages and skill levels. I have many years of experience in private instruction and am currently completing my Master of Pedagogy at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (FHNW) in Basel. I particularly enjoy the duality of learning: building a solid foundation and working on technique, which ultimately allows one to experience complete freedom and joy on the instrument. I personally find the balance between the two by working according to the principles of the Alexander Technique and paying attention to physical health and the sustainability of playing. I implement this in my teaching; I find it very important to tailor the lessons, exercises, and method closely to the goals and personality of the students.

I also have a master's degree in violin with an old scale, which I completed at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Early music is my other great passion, so there's always the opportunity to learn about historical performance practice!

After more than 23 years of playing this wonderful instrument, the freedom of music still inspires me and keeps me going.

I look forward to accompanying you on your musical journey!

I offer personalised lessons for all levels, from beginners to advanced players. My teaching focuses on developing solid technique, musical expression, and confidence, always tailored to each student’s goals and interests.
In flute/piccolo lessons, we work on tone, technique, breathing, and a wide range of repertoire.
Music theory lessons cover everything from the basics to more advanced topics, including harmony, rhythm, ear training, and score reading. Whether you are approaching music making for the first time or desire to deepen your understanding of music, lessons are structured to support and inspire.
Lessons are open to all ages, and I aim to create a focused yet enjoyable learning environment.

Hey! Want to learn guitar from scratch or improve your skills? Then you're in the right place!

I'm Gianni – a professional musician with over 10 years of experience and a master's degree in music education. I play guitar, double bass, and electric bass in a variety of stylistic projects.
When teaching, it's important to me that you enjoy the learning process and start making music from day one. You don't need to know lots of notes or chords to have a great time with music!

Depending on your interests, we can focus on technique, repertoire, reading music, music theory, improvisation, coordination (like singing and playing at the same time), and much more.
Lessons can take place in German, Swiss German, English, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish.

Hi, I’m Irene, I’m 25 years old, and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Music and Arts in Basel.

I’m a primary school teacher and a professional accordionist. I have over 5 years of experience in early childhood education. I’ve taught music in private lessons, music schools, and schools, working with children from 3 to 12 years old, as well as with teenagers and adults.

I see education as a mutual exchange of learning between teacher and student, so my teaching approach is based on an open pedagogy that responds to the needs and interests of each student.

If you’re interested, I’d love to share lots of music with you in a creative and open-minded way

My name is Clara and I'm a cellist, teacher, and performer in Basel. I'm active in many different genres myself, which is why I can teach a wide variety of things on the cello :) It's important to me to create a learning atmosphere where both student and teacher feel comfortable. Student and teacher should meet as equals, as learning is most effective in a trusting environment.

Where do I come from musically?

It has always been important to me to explore all the possibilities my instrument offers. And to be honest, I'm not finished yet; the cello has so many facets to discover! I've already tried many different styles. I completed my Master's degree in Contemporary Music at the Basel Academy of Music in 2025. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Artistic Pedagogy in Freiburg. This gives me a solid foundation for teaching the instrument in a playful way and for unlocking the creativity of my students.

Can you also find me on stage?

Yes, mostly with my jazzy indie-pop band "Partiprivati". We write our own songs and I'm usually responsible for a good bassline :)

But also with Percaso String Quartet, with whom we only play string quartet works by women.

Or in Ensemble IPSO, a music theater project in which we try to blend the boundaries between music, theater and dance.

And always with solo performances at vernissages.

I have a solidarity pricing system, if it concerns you, feel free to write :)
Lessons at the student’s home and preferably in Riehen.
