Violin and music theory tutor for young people

From 64 C$ /h

For violin lessons:
- From beginner to intermediate
- Better to do the course by person and not by Meet

For music theory lessons:
- From beginner to intermediate
- In this course both are possible, so either by Meet (or other application) or in person
- The purpose of this course is to help the student understand how music is created. The rhythm, the notes, everything in general. If the student feels comfortable we can even go a little further to analyze all kinds of partitions.

Having recently obtained my masters degree in Music from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I have been teaching piano, music theory and electroacoustic music for 8 years.

As a former student of the Conservatoire de Musique of Geneva and a music technology undergrad, I offer a tailored program to your needs and wishes. Be it classical jazz or pop music or music theory, composition and improvisation (or all of these!), I will gladly instruct you in a friendly and playful way.

Graduated with a master's degree in Music and Environment at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I offer piano, music theory and electroacoustic music lessons for all ages.

Both classical piano training with years of study at the Geneva Conservatory and electroacoustic training with a bachelor's degree in music technology, I provide a program adapted to the needs and desires of each student. With seven years of experience under my belt and having had students of all ages and backgrounds, I gladly teach classical pieces, jazz, pop, but also music theory or even composition or improvisation. At the same time, I also teach electroacoustic composition to children.

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! :)

Hello there, and welcome!

Regularly rated 5 STARS on Google Page and a creator of a well-loved community of learner violinists, my name is Cheryl, and I offer highly unique and very enjoyable lessons to anyone who wants to challenge themselves with the violin. Do not be fooled - it's a tough instrument to play well! With my guidance and a special interest in postural health, you will quickly learn the basics with some regular effort. I especially encourage students to meet with other students in order to get to know each other on a human level.

An alum of the ABRSM, Suzuki, American and European conservatory systems (Masters with Magna cum Laude), and relentlessly studying to become better and better every week, I filter through 'The Book' to find the most effective and efficient way for the individual learner. We will find out what sounds appeal to you, and teach your unique 'voice' to come out.

With a little technique and a LOT of good taste, there's no knowing where your violin can take you! Come yourself, or with a friend or even with your child, and explore the infinite depths of real music-making! (Pssst: It's never really what we expect in the beginning!)

Lessons can be carried out in English, Italian, French :) Just shoot me a message and we'll decide on the details together! Looking forward to finally meeting you in person.

Violin lessons are for everyone, regardless of age – you can start from the age of 2. The only requirement is that you own an instrument; for children, I can help you choose the right size and explain everything clearly.

Classes are tailored to each student—you can start with the basics, work on existing material, or expand your skills. I also offer piano lessons, music theory, and ear training.

With regular practice, you'll learn to play cleanly, rhythmically, and with pleasure. In my teaching, I combine musical experience, passion, and psychological knowledge to make lessons effective and engaging.

I offer lessons at home or in my space in Lancy, and the duration of the lessons is adapted to the needs of each student.

I offer recorder and/or music theory lessons, tailored to each student's needs. You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience. For recorder, we work on breath control, fingering, articulation, posture, interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire, ornamentation, improvisation, and more. For music theory, I adapt my method to your level: reading notes and rhythms, listening skills, identifying intervals, fundamental harmonics, and understanding musical language. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and structured, always attentive to the student's pace and interests.

You want to get to know your voice, sing with your body, and understand how your voice works. Singing is an exciting playground. I invite you to explore, in a gentle and supportive space, to experience it and become familiar with your instrument.
I also provide you with the keys to understanding and reading sheet music so that you can read music or deepen your musical knowledge.
Finally, I'll give you some basic piano skills so I can accompany you if needed.

Hello! My name is Cristóbal, a Spanish flautist passionate about music and teaching it.

I offer flute, piccolo and traverso lessons for all levels. I particularly enjoy guiding each student on their musical journey, adapting to their needs and goals.

I have had the opportunity to work with students of all ages (from 5 to 68) and all levels, from beginners to those preparing for conservatory entrance exams. I have taught in music schools as well as privately in Spain, France, and Switzerland.

This diversity of experience allows me to easily adapt to each student and to offer personalized support, according to their objectives, level and learning pace.

After completing my Bachelor's degree in Zaragoza, Spain, I continued my studies at the Strasbourg Conservatory in Raquel Magalhães' class, where I was awarded a distinction. I then obtained a Master's degree in Performance from the Geneva University of Music in Jacques Zoon's class.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in traverso with Johanna Bartz, as well as a Master's degree in piccolo at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp with Peter Verhoyen.

This dual specialization allows me to approach the flute family in its stylistic richness, from the modern repertoire to the baroque.
