violin, technique, musicality, and performance anxiety management lessons
From 59.35 C$ /h
Typical Lesson Layout: Every session lasts one hour. The lesson starts with the student performing the material prepared during the week, followed by collaborative work. If the student has specific doubts, we skip the initial review and focus directly on those questions.
Teaching Techniques & Methods: Focus on technique, musicality, body relaxation while playing, and learning to truly enjoy the music. Furthermore, if the student simply needs to discuss topics related to performance anxiety or stress, we can dedicate the entire lesson exclusively to finding mental strategies.
Key Traits as a Teacher: Focusing on body awareness and physical sensations helps improve both mental and physical comfort to unlock a better, more natural sound.

About Me
I love working in absolute peace and harmony. Music must be a pleasure for the listener, but above all, for the person playing it. It is a powerful medium for self-expression; I love to play when I feel deep emotions like anger or love, because music is the ultimate way to channel and express what we feel. Your lessons with me are a safe space: if there is a day when you simply do not feel like playing, we can always step back and spend the time talking, focusing entirely on how to manage anxiety and stress.
Education
Sara Vranic is a Serbian-Italian violinist born in Florence. She graduated with highest honors from the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, enriching her training through masterclasses with Pavel Vernikov, Svetlana Makarova, Klaidi Sahatçi, Barnabás Kelemen, and many others.
She has extensive experience in chamber music and orchestras, performing in prestigious venues across Italy—often as concertmaster—as well as internationally, including the Musikverein in Vienna and theaters in Seville, Moscow, and St. Petersburg. In 2024, she began studying with Lukas Hagen and Annalie Gahl, with whom she continues her studies. She now lives in Vienna, having relocated there in September 2025. Having connected with so many different teachers and students throughout my career, I have gathered a deep wealth of techniques. I teach you how to approach not only the challenges of music itself, but also how to experience your instrument in the most joyful way possible. As a teacher once told me, "the violin is our friend."
