Online Lessons: Viola, Violin Beginner-Advanced, Cello beginner-Intermediate (multiple styles)

From 97 C$ /h

I have taught music lessons at all levels, but I am especially talented at helping beginner or intermediate students to master their skills of holding the instrument in such a way as to play without pain and therefore get a more beautiful sound out of the instrument. I have taught ages 5-adult and at one time had a private lessons studio in the US of 50 students per year. And I have taught hundreds of students through all my work in the schools.
With viola performance and teacher certification degrees, I have worked in public and private schools in the US, India, and Sweden for more than 20 years, creating community and empowering people with music.

While I was living in the Seattle area, my orchestra programs were recognized as among the top in Washington state. I was invited to judge solo and ensemble competitions in the area and be a guest teacher with other prominent orchestras. I had many students win regional competitions and perform in Washington All-State Orchestra and All-Northwest orchestras. I sing, write and arrange music that has been performed for school events, culture festivals, regional church conference, and the 2013 USA national church conference for Community of Christ.

I moved from the US to Sweden in 2015, and live with my Swedish husband and our child. We enjoy sharing our love of jazz and classical music and dancing lindy hop and balboa.

About Me

I help students gain confidence through doing things in a step by step method where one skill builds on the next. And I teach with an emphasis on a relaxed manner of playing so that you can make playing a stringed instrument enjoyable.

I love to work with beginners and I also have the playing skills to teach even the most advanced students.Viola is my main instrument, but I also play violin on a high level. I can teach cello in the beginning to intermediate level.
I will meet students where they are and take them to the next level. I will always greet students warmly regardless of if they have had a chance to practice this week or not, I work from a place of inspiration, not intimidation.

So, whether you are wanting to play classical music or jazz or anything in between. I can help you get there! I prefer students to be age 7 or older for the way I like to teach and I welcome adults at all skill levels.

Education

I have a Bachelors Degree in Viola Performance from the University of Washington, Seattle US
I also hold a K-12 Washington State Teacher Certification for Instrumental and Choral Music

Experience / Qualifications

I’ve been teaching private lessons on violin, viola, cello and piano with students ages 6-75 since 1992. In those years, I have helped hundreds of students to develop a love of music and enjoyment of playing.

In my last few years living in the Seattle area, US, I had 50 students per year in private lessons.

Previous to full time private lessons, I also taught general music, choir and orchestra classes for 15 years in public and private schools, mostly in Bremerton, WA, US. In Washington state my orchestra and private lesson students were know for winning top honors in competitions and performances around the region.
I also was a guest teacher for music competitions and with retreats for other orchestra classes in the region.

I spent one year teaching at Kodaikanal International School in Tamil Nadu, India. There I taught all the string students in private lessons and orchestra classes for middle school and high school.

In 2015, I moved to Sweden, where I now live and have taught at the International English School for 3 years and then again started my own business doing music lessons, life coaching and creating music albums of songs to go with my children's books.

I love working with kids of all ages, but I’m especially passionate about getting beginner string students (younger and adults) paired with an instrument they love and helping them to play with good technique from the start so they can enjoy the sound and avoid injury.

🎯 INTRODUCTION
(English version below ⬇️)
Learn violin with a professional concert violinist active on the international scene.
I was trained directly by Maxim Vengerov, one of the world's greatest violinists, and I regularly perform as a soloist in concerts and festivals across Europe.
👉 You don't just learn the technique —
You learn to play, think and sound like a true stage musician.
💎 WHY MY TEACHING IS DIFFERENT
Most violin teachers:
no longer perform on stage
focus solely on the exercises
My teaching is based on genuine concert experience:
develop a powerful and beautiful sound
play with confidence
prepare for concerts and exams
progress efficiently without wasting time
👉 I teach what actually works on stage — not just in the rehearsal room.
🧠 INJURY TECHNIQUE & PREVENTION
A crucial aspect of violin playing is often overlooked: posture and tension management.
Over time, poor technique can lead to:
unnecessary tensions
physical pain (neck, shoulders, back)
limitations in progression
👉 Many students only realize it when problems arise.
From the outset, I focus on:
a natural posture
freedom of movement
an efficient use of the body
This ensures healthy and sustainable progress.
🔧 ADVANCED CORRECTION & SUPPORT
I also work with:
✔ Students who have developed technical difficulties
✔ violinists suffering from tension or discomfort
✔ Musicians who feel “stuck” in their progression
👉 With the right approach, it is entirely possible to rebuild a free, natural and confident technique.
🌍 INTERNATIONAL COURSE
International concert violinist
Winner of international competitions
Experience of concerts across Europe
Working with top-level musicians and ensembles
🎯 TARGET AUDIENCE
✔ motivated beginners
✔ Children starting out on the violin
✔ adult amateurs
✔ Advanced students preparing for exams or concerts
👉 Each course is tailored individually.
💰 STOCK VALUES
You are not paying for a standard course.
You are investing in:
an international level training
a true stage experience
precise and effective teaching
👉 This level of teaching is usually found in top-level conservatories.
✨ FINAL MESSAGE
My goal is not just to teach you the violin —
but to help you develop confidence, freedom and true musical expression.

My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life.
I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University.
Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone.

Violin and viola learning for adult beginners and returning players or in the band
SEE ENGLISH BELOW

I have been teaching adult beginners and intermediates to play the violin and viola for 10 years. The focus is very different. One person would like to find relaxation in playing the violin. Another would like to be able to play a certain piece because he likes it. A third has picked up the violin again after a long time.

I have had violin lessons for > 10 years and am currently studying viola at the Conservatory of Bolzano. I have 10 years of teaching experience.

I teach classical and electric violin, always tailored to the student. The lessons can also be carried out using the Suzuki method.

Based on my band experience with violin/viola, I am also a contact person if you play violin or viola in a band.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.
best regards
Julia

Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of teaching students from diverse nationalities and backgrounds. I have worked with students from various schools, including local Hong Kong schools, Hong Kong International School, Kowloon Junior International School, and the French International School etc.

I am adaptable and capable of teaching students with different personalities, whether they are highly energetic or more reserved. My primary goal is to instill a passion for music in the next generation, helping students not only grow as musicians but also as confident performers.

I have guided many students to success in ABRSM exams, from Grade 1 to Grade 8, including the latest online exam format. My students consistently achieve excellent results, and feedback from past clients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing how music has boosted their confidence and performance skills.

I tailor my lessons using a variety of books based on each student’s level and needs. Please feel free to contact me for more information or inquiries.

Hello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me.

Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on.

Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor.

Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing.

No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not?

If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!

Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it?
Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you?
Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills?
Do you need reinforcement lessons?
Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory?
Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions?
...
These are the private cello lessons you were looking for!

My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent.
I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher.

Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

Whether you have never held a violin in your hands or are an advanced player, all are welcome to contact me!
I have played the violin for over 20 years and am currently doing a master ́s of music in violin. Music is my passion, I have been teaching violin for 5 years, in music schools as well as privately from the ages of 7 to 60.
My aim in teaching is to enable the student to experience the beauty, richness and also the fun side of music, by helping to develop the technical skills needed to express oneself on the violin. I find it very important to take into account the personal goals and wishes of the student and to create an atmosphere of encouragement, creativity and mutual understanding.
No matter if you are interested in learning to play your favourite tunes just for fun or want to build up strong, solid technique and play demanding repertoire, I would be happy to work with you.The world of music is incredibly rich and I would love to help you on the exciting journey of discovering it. I believe it important to have variety in the process of learning and to help the student to develop good practising habits.
For those interested, I can also gladly include some music theory/music history knowledge in the lessons, to understand the pieces on a more profound level.
The lessons can be taught in either Estonian, English, German or Spanish.

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.

I am a professional violinist and chamber musician with a Konzertexamen in Violin Performance and Chamber Music from the University of Trossingen (Germany). I also hold a Master’s degree in Chamber Music from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW) and am currently studying Viola at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK).

Alongside my academic training, I am active as an orchestral musician and regularly perform with the ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien. My performing experience helps me guide students not only technically, but also musically and artistically.

With my international performing and academic experience, I aim to help students build strong technical foundations, develop musical expression, and gain confidence in performance. Lessons can also focus on exam preparation, audition repertoire, chamber music coaching, and concert programs.

Each lesson is individually tailored to the student’s goals, level, and learning style.

I teach cello to students of all ages and levels: from complete beginners to those preparing for conservatory auditions. My goal is to build your technique and musicality together, step by step, so that you're always challenged but never overwhelmed.

A typical lesson works on a mix of technique (posture, bow control, tone production), repertoire suited to your level and taste, and — if you want it — music theory and sight-reading. I'll set clear short-term goals with you each lesson and check in regularly on your progress, so you always know what you're working toward and why.

I have experience teaching students with dyslexia and ADHD, and I adjust my pacing and explanations so lessons stay clear and comfortable rather than stressful. If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry — I've taught people who've never held a cello before, and we start exactly where you are.

A bit about my background: I hold a Master of Music from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where I studied under Ella van Poucke, and I graduated cum laude from the Conservatory and University of Thessaloniki. With my quartet, I won First Prize and the Young Jury Prize at the Storioni Festival Competition 2026, and I've performed at venues including Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, and Muziekgebouw Eindhoven.

Lessons can be in English, Dutch, German, or Greek, in Amsterdam or online. Get in touch and tell me a bit about your goals — I'll tailor our first lesson around them.

If you’re interested, feel free to contact me with any questions.

These courses are primarily aimed at beginners or false beginners wishing to learn the violin on a solid foundation, in a progressive and motivating way.

Trained in classical and chamber music by a conservatory professor, I have developed an approach to the violin that is both rigorous and accessible, always keeping the pleasure of playing as the objective.

We work on the essential fundamentals: posture, bow hold, intonation, tone, and basic musicality. Emphasis is placed on a clear progression adapted to each student.

Each lesson is personalized according to your pace and objectives, whether it's to discover the instrument, consolidate the basics or evolve towards a more expressive style of playing.

Courses are available in French or English.

Mein geigenunterricht verbindet klassische Violintechnik mit musikalischer Kreativität, Jazz und Improvisation.
Der Unterricht richtet sich an Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene – sowohl an Anfänger als auch an fortgeschrittene Geiger. Please note that there are individual differences at your level, interests and personal needs.
The classical compositions include a solid technical composition: Haltung, Bogenführung, Intonation, Klang, Rhythmus, Coordination sowie Tonleitern, Etüden und Repertoire. Dabei ist mir wichtig, dass Technik immer mit musikalischem Ausdruck und Freude am Spielen verbunden wird.
For the Jazz and Improvisation players, you can find out more about the composition of the sounds of free and harmonious improvisations. Wir arbeiten unter anderem mit Tonleitern und Arpeggien, Rhythmus, Gehörbildung, einfachen harmonischen Structures, Akkordfolgen und ersten Jazz-Standards.
