Learn how to play the violin in a tension-free and effortless way

From 86 C$ /h

Hi! Are you looking for violin or viola lessons online?

I will be glad to help students to learn how to play the violin or the viola, and teachers to know more about string pedagogy.

I have been teaching violin, viola, and orchestral playing in Finland and Sweden for 30 years.

The experience with publishing Violin and Viola Method Books as well as The Amazing Violin Comics -
Tips for practicing and mental images for learning string instruments helps me to teach you online.

I can provide you with free samples of sheet music, mp3:s and play-along videos on Yotube.

My special interest is to build up a solid playing technique using exercises form the string pedagogy
developed by Paul Rolland.

In order to help students to learn faster we can use visualization and imaginary concepts from The Amazing
Violin Comics publication. To imagine how something feels creates new ways of learning by engaging our emotions
and imagination.

About Me

I am a person that likes to make other happy and feel good. I have been born in Helsinki in Finland but was in the Swedish speaking school for most of my childhood. I love to play music with friends and make concerts in all kind of places. I have been performing from official state receptions and concert halls to opening of tennis courts, funerals and weddings in Scandinavia, Thailand, USA and Japan.
I have been studying the Scandinavian teaching ideas in Finland and Sweden and I have been traveling to different schools to study and work with the local teachers.
Besides music I love sports, running, swimming and the Mediterranean culture. In the near future my dream is to move to Greece where I already have my second home.
I like to teach online because during the pandemic my music school had to use only remote teaching. During that perioed I found very effective and fun ways to use the possibilties of remote lessons.

Have a lovely day and thanks for reading:)

Hello,
I am a violin teacher and violinist. Having taught the violin for 20 years and knowing in depth different instrumental techniques and different teaching methods, I can adapt my teaching to the needs, age and character of each student. In addition, my educational background combined with the unique experience and knowledge given to me by my relatively recent motherhood and my love for children and other human beings, has led me to pursue positive teaching with empathy towards the student who aims to make him happy, to love music and to acquire a solid basis for his overall development! I am also able to teach with the Suzuki method. I teach children from the age of 3 and even adults. I organize concerts for my students at least twice a year. Classes are in French, English and Greek. For more information do not hesitate to write me. Thank you.

Violin Lessons — All Ages & Levels

In my lessons, you'll build a strong technical foundation — posture, bow control, intonation, and tone — while developing the musicality that makes playing the violin truly rewarding. Every lesson is tailored to you: your goals, your pace, and the music you want to play.

What we'll cover:

Fundamentals: holding the instrument and bow, producing a clear sound, reading music
Technique: scales, bowing styles, shifting, vibrato, and left-hand agility
Musicianship: rhythm, phrasing, dynamics, and expression
Repertoire: classical, and other styles depending on your interests
Exam, audition, or performance preparation when relevant
Preparation for amateur orchestra — learning your parts, tuning, ensemble skills, and playing confidently in a section

Who it's for:
Complete beginners, returning players, and more advanced students looking to refine their playing. Children and adults are equally welcome. I'm also happy to help musicians preparing to join or perform with an amateur orchestra.

As an active orchestral player myself — including as concertmaster with the Oosterhouts Symfonie Orkest — I can give you practical, first-hand guidance on what orchestral playing really asks of you.

I teach in a relaxed, encouraging way — no pressure, just steady progress and genuine enjoyment. Lessons can be given in English, Dutch, or Portuguese.

Book a trial lesson and let's get started!

Even if you are a student looking to enrich your education, or an adult searching for a new hobby, my lessons will exceed your expectations!
I am both a performing artist and a violin & piano teacher in international schools, with a lot of experience in leading school ensembles and bands.
The philosophy that guides me as a musician and tutor is the fact that music is a real therapy, so beneficial to everyone. No matter what skills they have, all people of any age should learn to play a musical instrument.
All my lessons are customized according to the student, the teaching continues only if I have a real feed back and I am positive that the student is ready to learn a new lesson. Otherwise, without any pressure, all the notions learned up to the present moment are resumed in order to consolidate and settle all the information.

My goal is to help students develop the skills and confidence needed to perform music .

DURATION OF THE COURSE AND ITS CONDUCT:
Methods adapted to the objectives / desires of the student.
My mission: Make learning simple but effective in order to focus on pleasure. The courses are not on the watch.
Thus, the student can choose to end the course only when he considers having obtained enough lessons but also to determine the duration in advance if he has imperatives.

MY METHOD
I adapt my pedagogy according to the student. (Age, goals, musical style, knowledge or not of music theory ...)
- Musical awakening for young pupils: The course is fun to capture the attention of the young pupil and allow him to soak up the musical bases and the instrumental technique while having fun.
- Beginner pupil: Approach the instrument by familiarizing himself with its outfit, use of the score or diagrams (according to the pupil's wish), adaptation to the pupil's development and his requirements.
- Intermediate student: Help with the performance of requested pieces or help with sought-after techniques, depending on the request.
- Advanced student: Interpretation work, learning tips to overcome the public's apprehension and to know how to make up for it.
In all levels, musicality, rhythm, exploration and logic are the keys used to express oneself freely through one's instrument and / or succeed in overcoming blockages due to technical constraints.

Hi, I'm Stephanie, professional violinist and teacher with more than 10 years of teaching experience, working with students from young beginners through to ATCL diploma level. I trained at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège in the Franco-Belgian violin tradition and currently perform with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra.

My teaching combines strong technical foundations with listening, musical curiosity and confidence. Growing up in Hong Kong, I began my own violin studies with the Suzuki Method, and I am now continuing my training in Suzuki pedagogy. I particularly value its emphasis on learning through listening, positive encouragement and developing good habits naturally.

I want lessons to be enjoyable and encouraging, while still giving students the tools to become thoughtful and independent musicians. My experience includes individual teaching as well as orchestras, bands and ensembles, so rhythm, listening to others and making music together are also important parts of my teaching.

Lessons are adapted to each student's age, level and goals, whether learning for enjoyment or preparing for exams, competitions and performances. Previous students have progressed from beginner to ATCL level, with several receiving prizes at the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival.

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Let’s start this journey together and build a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime
