Are you interested in learning to play the saxophone?

My name is Alejandro Oliván and I am a professional saxophonist with a master's degree in pedagogy from the Basel School of Music.
I am a full professor at the Gibstorf Music School, but have been giving private lessons in Basel for years. The lessons are aimed at children, adults and pensioners. It's never too late to study! For those who prefer to play with someone else and meet people, I also organize group classes with interested students.
The courses are offered in my house and with a small surcharge, depending on where you live, I can come to your home too.

In my career, my life is frozen, my Lust, my Motivation, and my Ratschläge, my life is erroneous. Even though the settings are individual and personal, the programs are different.


Since I have been teaching violin and music, not a day has gone by without me saying to myself that motivation and pleasure are the greatest drivers of learning. This is why I always favor a relaxed and work-friendly atmosphere during my classes. Technique is of course of great importance to me.
I teach musical initiation, music theory and the viola which I practiced in chamber music and of course the violin, my main instrument with which I perform in several orchestras and ensembles.

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!

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

I'm Gianni—a professional musician with over 10 years of experience and a master's degree in music education. This guitar, bass, and electric bass kit is designed for stylish projects.
Lessons can be held in German, Swiss German, English, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish – whichever works best for you.

When teaching, it's important to me that you have fun and get into music right from the start. But we don't have to look at or listen to music, and one of the core elements of our music is there!
Depending on your needs, we can focus on technique, repertoire, notation, music theory, improvisation, or coordination (e.g., singing and playing simultaneously).

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.
