Passionate music teacher, gives violin and / or music theory lessons

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Passionate about music, I obtained my certificate of musical studies in 2019, which marked the end of my violin course at the conservatory. I subsequently played in the McGill Beethoven Orchestra and am now 1st violin at the Philarmonie Jeunesse de Montréal (PJM). I have 15 years of violin practice and 9 years of music theory behind me, and I would like to share with you this passion for music.
I give violin lessons to beginners or intermediate students, or even to advanced students who would need a guide in their work. I can also teach music theory. I adapt to your requests!
Do not hesitate to contact me :)

Violin lessons for all ages in downtown Montreal
Former student at the Conservatory of Versailles in France in the class of Saskia Lethiec, I had the opportunity to be part of many student and amateur orchestras in Violin I: - Orchestra of the Sorbonne in Paris - Orchestra of the Universities of Paris - Orchestra of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark - Sinfonia Ensemble of Montreal Passionate about orchestra and the teaching of my instrument, all along my musical journey I had the opportunity to transmit my knowledge in violin and music theory especially to the youngest (10-15 years old). My method: As for young students, for me learning the violin must be a discovery in every class. The child must be amazed by the beauty of the music each time he vibrates his instrument. This curiosity must be enriched day by day during his daily work and I want my classes to allow them to learn the instrument in the joy of discovering their own sensations! As for adults, I want to provide them with the means to progress independently from day to day, always becoming aware of their body. It is important for me that the adult can develop his inner listening to help him progress on the quality of his accuracy and phrasing.

I'm excited to welcome here all the violin lovers, those who want to play the most beautiful instrument in the world, but don't know where to start. It'll be a great pleasure for me to open up for you a whole new world of violin. Together we will learn everything about the instrument, learn only necessary music theory and make it all the way through: from the very first steps like posture and hands' position, to playing your favorite songs! Those who are doubting about being back to music after decades without practice are welcomed, too! I'll help you remember all the basis you've been given, work on new techniques, learn new pieces, and help you to bring music back to your life. Being taught by three different professors during my school and conservatory, taking part in master-classes given by famous musicians, and of course teaching university students on-campus myself, I've gathered a wide range of teaching methods, specific exercises, violin lifehacks, and a lot of love and passion for my job. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll try to reply ASAP. And welcome to class!

Professional Violin Lessons for Beginners and Intermediates: Technical, Theoretical and Expressive Development, with a Personalized Approach
This violin course is designed for beginners and intermediate students, and aims to develop the essential technical and musical skills for playing smoothly and expressively. The program includes learning the fundamentals of violin playing, such as correct posture, grip, and producing a clear tone. You'll work on scales and arpeggios to develop your dexterity, as well as bowing techniques to master different stroke patterns. Sheet music reading, musical analysis, and music theory practice are integrated into the course to strengthen your theoretical knowledge and music-reading skills. Alongside this, you'll explore a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical works to more contemporary pieces, and will have the opportunity to work in a group to improve your listening and coordination with other musicians. The course also includes personalized guidance to structure your practice and prepare you for performances, with an emphasis on musical expression and managing stage fright. My approach aims to make each student independent and to encourage their musical development in a caring and motivating environment.
