Violin and Viola lessons for beginner - advanced players

From 99.98 C$ /h

I offer in person and online lessons in violin and viola. I am based in Neukölln, Berlin.

I have taught violin and viola in the UK for leading national organisations including Opera North, In harmony and Orchestras for All. I have over 10 years of private and school based teaching experience and have taught students from aged 4 to adults. I also ran an outreach music and arts project in the UK delivering music and art workshops in schools and art galleries as well as online, the project was recognised with two national awards from Deutsche Bank and UnLtd. I have led and conducted school string ensembles and set up beginner string programs for Harrogate Music School, Cardiff Young Strings and The Strings Club, Birmingham.

My teaching style incorporates aspects of Dalcroze and Kodaly methodology as well as improvisation and collaborative composition. I develop a bespoke approach alongside each student to ensure they are able to get the most out of their lessons and make lessons enjoyable. My lessons focus on developing technique and skills required to play music the student has chosen and I incorporate play and games into lessons to enable the most effective learning. I work mostly in classical, improvisation and new music contexts but can provide lessons in all genres.

Lessons are in English. Regular, irregular and one-off lessons are possible. I teach from beginner-advanced.

About Me

I am passionate about music education and providing fun and rewarding lessons for my students. I am always keen to help students learn to play pieces/song which they choose and I aim to create bespoke lessons designed to help each student achieve their goals.

As a performer I have worked in classical music performing with quartets, orchestras and recording for television and film. In Berlin I have performed with Ensemble United, class-work, Borage and premiered newly composed works for solo viola and viola/cello duo.

I also perform regularly as an improvising musician and I enjoy bring improvisation into my teaching to help build skills and techniques in a creative and interesting way.

Education

I began music lessons at the age of 8 and went on to study as an undergraduate at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with Rose Redgrave I graduated in 2014 and then went on to complete my Masters at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Whilst studying I performed in Masterclasses with Lawrence Power, Garth Knox, Thomas Riebl, Robin Ireland, Emerson Quartet among others. I was also selected for both the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Welsh National Opera placement schemes. Upon graduation from my masters I was awarded the Reverend Paul Bigmore Award for Outreach and The Deutsche Bank Award for Creative Enterprise 2017.

I'm a french professional violinist established in Berlin, I'm currently member of the academy of the Radio Orchestra in Berlin and graduated from the Universität der Künste Berlin, Hight school of Music Geneva and Lyon

I give violin lessons at home, for students of all levels and ages.
I constantly adapt my teaching according to the expectations and objectives of the student, so the technical work that allows to acquire a better ease with the instrument will always be directed towards a musical research and the pleasure of playing music
I can also give some basics of music theory, included in a violin class. These courses can be part of the schema of a regular apprenticeship or of one-off sessions (preparation of an exam, support in the personal work of a pupil of a musical institution ...)

I consider teaching to be an essential aspect of a musician's life, in order to pass on one's knowledge and passion with pleasure. This is very enriching for both the student and the teacher, and it has allowed me to reflect on myself and to learn from it about questions of instrumental technique

My methods include the preparatory works for AMEB examination, the Suzuki method, as well as my own method based on European Violin Syllabus and technical works (i.e. Curci). I teach students of all ages and levels, including adults. Parents are encouraged to attend their child's private lessons so that students can be supervised and encouraged when practicing at home. Able to teach in my apartment as well as coming to the student’s house.

● Customized approaches that work for the student along with the curriculum

My teaching consists in giving the students many opportunities to participate.

I adapt the teaching method to the individual learning pace and the needs of my students. It is important to me that they can not only make progress, but also enjoy the music.

I also value intuitive learning, support my students in developing their own musical ideas, and offer the necessary basics to realize them. I am at your side with words and deeds. I am interested in any kind of music - classical music, latin music, jazz, pop, etc.

As with my music, I am open to everything with my students: everyone is welcome. Whether at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level - every student should have fun and enjoyment with the music, his instrument and his musical language.

I believe in a holistic music teaching style! This means I teach music by ear and using sheet music. Ideally, my students will learn to enjoy making music with their instrument and be able to hear the progress they are making each week. We will learn how to read music, music theory, and musical pieces at your level. I always teach in a student-focused way: what the student gets excited about is what I will teach! I teach classical music, jazz and various kinds of folk music. I have taught children for several years and I have experience teaching people of all ages. I really look forward to teaching you and working with you! :)
