Violin class for every level. Beginner to advanced in Geneva region.

From 128.63 C$ /h

My name is Aleksandar and I am 26 years old. I have been playing the violin since I was 5 years old, and currently doing it for more than 20 years already. Giving lessons and teaching violin is one of my most favorite things to do. To see the spark for the instrument in peoples' eyes and share the love for music is a big part of why we become musicians. Everyone who has a question or a wish for making music and playing violin with me is welcome to contact me!

It doesn't matter if you are an absolute beginner, or have already played your instrument for years. In my class, together we will construct a program for quick improvement that would be challenging, methodical, but also fun and collaborative. If you (or your chlild) are a beginner, we will cover all the basics with music theory, solfeggio, and of course violin. It is the most important thing to have a comprehensive and professional start with the instrument, as well as good understanding of how everything works together.

More advanced players are welcome to work with me to improve their music knowledge and advance their technique. I can also help you out with chamber music or orchestral (and orchestral traits) pieces. Or maybe you are just looking to play for fun... Don't hesitate to contact me!

Extra information

You have to have your own instrument. However, if you are (or your child) a complete beginner - don't worry. Beginning lessons will involve a little bit of theory, singing etc.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

My approach aims to develop listening skills, timbre awareness, and musical expression, while helping each student overcome their inhibitions with personalized learning methods. With over nine years of experience, including several years at the Neuhof-Stockfeld music school in Strasbourg, I adapt my lessons to each student's personality, needs, and pace. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, child or adult, I offer tailored guidance in a supportive yet challenging environment.
