Being able to learn an instrument that empowers your imagination is a wonderful gift you can give yourself or your loved ones. Both the voice of a violin and a viola can bring out the best in you and radiate the outward radiance you've been seeking all along.

Want to learn/take the violin back?

Don't wait!
Passionate about Pedagogy, I teach violin since 2013, for all ages and all levels. I graduated from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (Bachelor and Orchestra Master), and from the Hochschule der Kunste Bern (master in pedagogy).

I like to adapt my pedagogy to different student profiles for them to keep motivation and quickly improve.

I also did many replacements for violin lessons, solfege and musical awakening in various conservatories and schools in France, the Netherlands and in Switzerland and I am teaching solfege in Delémont (EJCM).

I look forward to sharing my passion with you!

I have been teaching violin for 2 years, I work with children and with adults. And for me, it's very interesting - to share my passion and love for music with other people. I really want to help and teach each person because I think music is very important to all of us.
Together, we can learn various techniques, enrich our knowledge of music and choose a repertoire you like.

I think it's important for children that flute lessons are also music education. For beginners, we get to know the breathing technique through creative games, the "blow competition" with crumpled paper balls is particularly popular. We learn the rhythms with claps and rhymes, but I often explain the bar structure by assembling Lego blocks. I show musicality and technique accompanied by songs, improvisation, playing the flute or piano together. You don't even notice, you're so good at it that you can give your family your own concert. And if you already play the flute, bring your favorite pieces, even pop songs, to class! If you're playing with a band, I'll give you ideas and tips. If you already know all the tones, I'll even show you new techniques like whistling or drumming on the flute. There is always something new and surprising on this instrument!

course description
My students particularly appreciate me for the large repertoire and techniques with which I can help them feel comfortable on the instrument and make music. Playing the flute is much more than just making music. You'll learn to breathe properly, learn something with a positive mindset, and maybe you'll also find out the quickest and easiest way to learn. I look forward to your registrations! 🤩

My name is Viktoria, I am a professional musician and I play viola and violin.
I have extensive experience as a concert artist in various chamber ensembles, symphony orchestras and as a soloist.
In my classes, I strive to better understand the psychology of students and determine the pace of the learning process that works best for them. It is very important to me to create a safe and trusting atmosphere in the classroom and to build a good relationship with the students. I am a friendly and straightforward person by nature and try to find compromises while working.

The cello is a beautiful instrument from the family of string instruments with a warm, deep sound. The instrument offers the opportunity to play in a wide variety of formations, from solo to in a large orchestra. I have completed an artistic degree and am currently doing a master's degree in education at the Bern University of the Arts. I have already taught for two and a half years in Hanover, where I lived before, and would like to pass on my passion to children. I make my lessons as varied and stimulating as possible - the focus is on fun and games. I also like to improvise with my students on the instrument and am open to all kinds of ideas, including when it comes to the repertoire. But I also have a plan for how I will learn exercises, songs and pieces with the students, depending on their level of difficulty.

The flute has a clear, bright, yet gentle sound that can be cheerful, delicate, or full of energy.
In my lessons, you'll learn to enjoy music naturally, step by step, always tailored to your level and interests. It's not just about technique, but also about expressing yourself, enjoying playing, and discovering everything the flute has to offer.

Lessons can be structured in different ways: through technique, studies and works, or by exploring pieces intended for special occasions – to be played with the family or even together with other musicians.

This course is aimed at beginner and intermediate students of classical violin, jazz and contemporary music.

For beginner students:
We cover technical elements such as violin and bow positioning and holding, bow movement, left-hand placement, scales, and positions. We also work on developing ear training and rhythm. We may also introduce basic music theory concepts, such as reading notes.
Finally, we work on learning pieces, according to the student's desires and musical styles.

For intermediate students, here are different approaches depending on their musical styles and desires.

For jazz and improvised music: scales or arpeggios that can be played on a given chord, modes and their use, rhythm, improvisation exercises, phrasing (swing, Latin, funk, etc.), learning jazz standards, how to amplify on stage, etc.

For classical music: scales and arpeggios, technical exercises for the left and right hand, how to put together a piece, musicality and interpretation.
