Would you like to have a connection to music? Do you want to learn and perhaps master an instrument such as the violin or viola?

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.

As a violinist for 21 years now, 12 years at the conservatory and 9 years as a private teacher, I offer quality lessons adapted to your level. We'll focus on technique (scales, etudes) but we'll also look at a few tricks to improve your playing.
It's advisable to do some music theory on the side to be able to read notes and rhythm properly. I can help you with that too.
I'm very patient and gentle. I can come to your place, but I can also give lessons by videoconference.

I have the experience: I graduated with honors from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, taught gifted children in Minsk, and am currently studying at the Basel Academy of Music in Switzerland.

I love to teach and I am always happy to discover new things with my students, I think there is always something new to learn from both sides. For me it's very important to create a good atmosphere for the students, and that they feel comfortable during the lessons. I like to provide them as much as I can and make this process of learning a very special adventure. My lessons are more in the direction of developing the student’s musical ideas. As well as working on the technique of the instrument;)

My name is Ane, a violinist from the Basque Country. After completing my bachelor's degree in violin at the Basel University of Music with Prof. Barbara Doll, I am now excited to begin my master's degree in violin pedagogy. Teaching has always been an important part of my musical vocation: I enjoy providing individual support to each student, adapting to their tempo, and helping them discover the joy of playing and expressing themselves with their instrument. My training and orchestral experience have given me a broad musical perspective, but what motivates me most now is passing on this knowledge in a practical and personal way. In my teaching, I emphasize a balance between technique, musicality, and creativity, so that playing the violin is not just a challenge, but also an enriching and enjoyable experience.

My name is Alinka and I am a violin / viola teacher based in Basel, Switzerland.

I welcome students of all ages, whether you are getting started on a violin for the very first time, or to coming back to it after many years. I provide lessons catered to each individual, and am keen to help you on your musical journey! I like to combine building basic technical foundations with helping someone to connect with their own artistic expression. With children, I make lessons fun and interactive as they learn the basics of playing.

I graduated from the Musik Akademie Basel with a distinction in my Masters, and have performed all over Europe in renowned concert halls and festivals. I love teaching, getting to know students and helping them develop. I have years of experience and am dedicated to what I do.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I’m Gaia!
I’m a professional violinist and passionate teacher.

My course is designed for motivated violinists who are looking for guidance to grow and advance, as well as for beginners interested in discovering the world of the violin.
My teaching approach focuses on developing a strong musical sense together with a clear and structured methodology that ensures complete technical training. Among my greatest interests are pedagogy and psychology ; I read extensively on these topics to become the most well-rounded teacher I can be, capable of helping children, teenagers, and adults in their musical learning.

During my teaching activity, I often find myself recalling lessons and insights I received from my own mentors throughout my studies. I enjoy translating advanced concepts into simple and digestible forms for children and young students. I believe that every teacher has the responsibility to believe in the potential of each student and to constantly challenge themselves to find ways to make even complex ideas accessible. It is precisely at this age that the most important seeds of growth are planted.
I deeply believe that music is a personal investment that contributes to the full development of the individual. For this reason, I always prioritize empathy, mutual respect, and commitment in my lessons. A lasting improvement on the instrument can only be built on these foundations.
I also strive to keep my teaching informed by reading and researching beyond instrumental technique ;providing my students with a historically and theoretically aware approach to every piece we study.

I completed my Bachelor’s studies at the HMTMH Hannover (graduating with top marks, German 1.0 / Swiss 6.0 equivalent), and I am currently finishing my Specialized Master in Music Performance and Specialized Master in Chamber Music at the Musik Akademie Basel.
I have extensive experience in concert and ensemble performance and have been among the laureates of the Arthur Grumiaux International Violin Competition, the Città di Padova International Violin Competition, the Feast of Duos Sion, and a finalist at the ROSL Chamber Music Competition in London.
With my ensemble Trio Venere, I had the opportunity to perform in a public masterclass with Steven Isserlis at Wigmore Hall.
Coming from a musical family with a strong pedagogical tradition, I had the privilege to learn not only through my formal studies but also by observing my parents teach from an early age.
I have over seven years of teaching experience, and several of my students have successfully passed entrance exams for Italian conservatories (higher education) and won prizes in national youth competitions.

For anyone who wants to start playing the viola or who already has and wants to continue improving their musical skills. I can tailor the lessons to each student's needs, adapting to those who already have a regular teacher. The frequency of lessons can also be customized.
I have a very flexible schedule, and although I usually end up filling my agenda, I can organize myself around my classes.
Classes can be in English or Spanish.
