I am a positive, encouraging and fun teacher with 10+ years of experience teaching the violin and having had some amazing teachers who taught and inspired me. I want to find out from you what music you love, how you learn best and how we can tailor your program specifically to you. I like to combine all different types of songs and different activities, exercises, games and warm-ups into the lesson to help you increase your confidence, your ability and your joy in playing the violin.

I have taught all ranges of learners before -including neuro-diverse learners, total beginners, adults who played when they were young and have always regretted not keeping it up...so whatever your reason to pick up the beautiful instrument that is the violin, I am here to support you along your journey. And I promise, there will be laughter and fun along the way because that's just how I roll! 😊

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.

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.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Whether you are looking for a teacher to help with a school orchestra class curriculum, youth orchestra, audition preparation, or just individual improvement, I will tailor to your own needs.

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.

For artists, songwriters, and creatives ready to shape their vision.

Are you working on your own songs and feeling stuck?
Do you have a head full of ideas but struggle to bring them together into one clear artistic story?
Or maybe you’ve already created something you're proud of, but you want to take it further — deeper, bolder, more you.

I'm here to help you connect the dots.

As a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director working on my own debut album, I know how overwhelming the creative process can feel. There’s so much more to being an artist than just making music. Your sound, your visuals, your story, your live performance — it’s all connected. That’s where I come in.

In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your creative world needs support:

🎵 Songwriting – melody, lyrics, structure, harmony
🎧 Production Direction – from early sketches to refined ideas
🌙 Artistic Identity – visual storytelling, aesthetics, branding
🎤 Performance & Presence – connecting with your audience
💡 Creative Strategy – organizing ideas and unlocking new ones
🌀 Intuitive Guidance – sometimes you just need a sounding board

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced artist, we’ll work with what’s already inside you — your instincts, your taste, your questions. Sessions are fully personalized and can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

Sound Healing, Sound Bath, Chakra Healing & Reiki

Sound Healing is a holistic wellbeing practice that uses intentional sound, vibration and mindful listening to create a deeply relaxing and meditative experience.

My sessions use instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, gongs and other therapeutic sound instruments, combined with guided relaxation and mindfulness-based practices. The intention is to help you slow down, release everyday tension, become more aware of your body and mind, and create a deeper sense of relaxation and inner balance.

What I Offer

Sound Bath

A deeply immersive relaxation experience using Tibetan singing bowls, gongs and other sound instruments. You simply relax, listen and allow the sounds and vibrations to become the focus of your awareness.

A Sound Bath may be particularly suitable if you are looking for:

• Deep relaxation
• Stress reduction
• Mental quietness
• Meditation support
• Emotional relaxation
• A peaceful break from a busy lifestyle

Chakra Healing

A holistic practice incorporating sound, meditation, intention and awareness of the traditional chakra system.

Chakra Balancing

A guided sound-based practice focused on relaxation, awareness and the traditional concept of balancing the body's energy centres.

Full-Body Sound Healing

A personalized session using multiple sound instruments and guided relaxation to create an immersive full-body relaxation experience.

The session may help you disconnect from everyday mental activity, become more aware of bodily sensations and enter a deeply restful state.

Reiki with Sound Healing

A complementary session combining Reiki practice with Sound Healing for people interested in a holistic relaxation and wellbeing experience.

The session focuses on relaxation, mindfulness, energetic awareness and creating a calm environment for self-reflection.

Corporate Sound Bath

I also conduct Corporate Sound Bath and Corporate Wellness sessions designed for employees and organizations.

Corporate sessions can be customized for:

• Stress management
• Workplace relaxation
• Employee wellbeing
• Meditation and mindfulness
• Wellness days
• Team wellbeing events
• Corporate retreats
• International Yoga Day / wellness initiatives

Sessions can be conducted online or in person, depending on the requirement.

A Personalized Approach

I don't use exactly the same session for everyone.

Before a session, I take into consideration your intention, experience, comfort level and any relevant sensitivities. The instruments, intensity and structure of the session can then be adapted accordingly.

My objective is to create a safe, peaceful and deeply immersive sound experience where you can relax, turn your attention inward and reconnect with yourself.

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.

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

Orchestra Coaching for Amateur Violinists

Joining an amateur orchestra is one of the most rewarding things you can do as a violinist but it also asks for skills that solo practice doesn't always prepare you for. In these lessons, I help you feel confident, secure, and comfortable in your section, whether you're about to audition, just joined, or want to keep up with a demanding programme.

What we'll work on:

Learning your parts efficiently — smart practice strategies to master the notes faster
Counting, rhythm, and staying locked in with the beat
Following the conductor and reacting to cues
Tuning and blending within your section
Bowings, section markings, and orchestral conventions
Sight-reading and reading ahead
Managing tricky passages, fast runs, and high positions
Nerves and audition preparation

Who it's for:
Amateur and returning violinists who play in — or want to join — an orchestra or larger ensemble. Whether you're preparing for an audition, tackling a specific piece from your season, or simply want to hold your own more confidently in rehearsals, we'll focus on exactly what you need.

Why me:
I'm an active orchestral violinist and concertmaster with the Oosterhouts Symfonie Orkest, so I can give you first-hand, practical guidance on what really happens in the rehearsal room — and how to walk in prepared. Bring your orchestra music and we'll tackle it together.

Lessons available in English, Dutch, or Portuguese.

Book a trial lesson and let's get your parts ready!

Would you like to play your favorite artists' songs on the guitar? 🎸🎶

In these classes, you'll learn in a practical, dynamic way, perfectly tailored to your musical tastes. You choose the songs, artists, or styles you love, and we'll work together so you can learn to play and accompany them on the guitar.

You'll learn chords, chord changes, rhythms, strumming patterns, and different accompaniment techniques, always applied to real songs. The goal isn't simply to memorize songs, but to gradually understand how they work so you can learn new songs on your own.

The classes are adapted to all levels. If you're starting from scratch, we'll go step by step so you can begin playing your first songs from the beginning. If you already have some guitar experience, we'll work on improving your rhythm, technique, and accompaniment skills.

We can work on pop, rock, rumba, flamenco, singer-songwriter songs, and many other styles. From artists like Estopa, Melendi, Pablo Alborán, Manuel Carrasco, or Fito y Fitipaldis, to any group or singer that's part of your favorite music.

If you also like to sing, we can also work on how to accompany you on the guitar.

🎵 You choose the music.
🎸 I'll help you learn to play it.
📈 And little by little you will acquire the tools to learn many more songs on your own.

Tell me what song or artist you'd like to play and we'll get started!
