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.

Hello!

My name is Denis, and I am a violinist currently pursuing my Master's degree in Classical Music. I've been playing the violin for many years and have a passion for teaching others to explore their own musical abilities.

My lessons are adaptable to all levels, whether you are just beginning or already have some experience with the violin.
In my classes, we will focus on developing proper technique and exploring a range of musical styles such as classical, folk, or even modern music.
I incorporate music theory into lessons to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the pieces you are playing.
Whether you're young or old, beginner or advanced, I tailor my teaching methods to suit each student's individual goals and learning style.
If you are interested in playing with others, I also offer chamber music coaching for small groups.
If you don’t yet have a violin, I can help you find one to buy or rent.
Online lessons via Skype are also an option if you prefer remote learning.
Let’s work together to develop your violin skills and create a personalized plan based on your musical interests and aspirations!

Hi there, I'm a professional viola and violin teacher, teaching in person and online, in English, German or Russian.

Alongside teaching 1:1 and coaching chamber music over the last 12 years, I've led numerous workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ in the UK and taught on the Primary and Senior Arpeggione Viola Courses run by Jacky Woods, coaching some of the UK’s leading young musicians. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I have participated in ESTA conferences across Europe, including at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and in Valletta, Europe’s cultural capital in 2018.

I regularly prepare his students for auditions, competitions and exams at all levels, and has a holistic teaching style incorporating music theory, aural and sight reading skills and physical awareness. Many of my students have won regional and national competitions and have been accepted into specialist music schools and youth orchestras.

Outside of teaching, I performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, recently including at Kings Place London, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Philharmonie Berlin. I received first prize at the Małopolska competition, the Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition.

I hold a Masters degree with first class honours from the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, where I studied with Tabea Zimmermann, and the University of Arts, where I studied with Lawrence Power, as well as a Bachelors degree with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, where I began in the primary department 20 years ago.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My teaching is entirely tailored to each student's needs. I can offer both structured instruction with a progressive program and more flexible support, based on the pieces the student wishes to learn. I am always open to musical suggestions and particularly enjoy working on a repertoire chosen by the student.

I am convinced that consistency is the key to progress: moving forward step by step allows you to develop true musicality as well as self-confidence. There is no mandatory commitment, but regular lessons and personal practice between sessions are strongly recommended for lasting progress.

I have already helped many friends, colleagues, and students prepare for exams, competitions, and other musical goals. Having participated in numerous competitions myself, I know what they require and how to prepare effectively.

Thanks to my training in the French musical tradition, I bring an open and versatile approach, which can enrichingly complement more academic teaching methods.

Above all, my goal is to pass on my passion for music and to support each student in their own musical journey, with kindness, high standards and enjoyment.

BACK TO SCHOOL ACTIE! (Geldig t/m 30 september 2026)
Start het nieuwe schooljaar met muziek! Meld je aan vóór 30 september en ontvang 10% korting op je eerste lespakket van 5 of 10 lessen.

🗓️ FLEXIBELE ROESTERING VOOR HET NIEUWE SCHOOLJAAR
Mijn lesrooster voor het komende seizoen wordt op dit moment ingedeeld. Zie je jouw gewenste dag of tijdstip niet direct in de kalender staan? Neem gerust contact op! In overleg zijn er heel veel mogelijkheden qua dagen en tijden (zowel overdag als 's avonds).

Tijdens de lessen staat een ontspannen en natuurlijke houding centraal, want dat is de basis voor een mooie en vrije klank. Ik besteed veel aandacht aan een verfijnde streektechniek, een zuivere intonatie en het aanleren van een soepel, expressief vibrato. Door mijn muzikale opvoeding ben ik bovendien goed thuis in de Kodály-methode, waardoor het verbinden van zang met instrumentale techniek een heel natuurlijk onderdeel is van mijn manier van lesgeven. Wanneer nodig begeleid ik mijn leerlingen ook op de piano, wat het samen muziek maken extra toegankelijk en inspirerend maakt. Mijn doel is om in een geduldige en persoonlijke sfeer jouw muzikaliteit tot bloei te laten komen – of je nu net begint of je techniek verder wilt verdiepen. Neem gerust contact met mij op en laten me samen aan de slag gaan!

Winner of the 2014 Long-Thibaud-Crespin International Competition and ADAMI Classical Revelation, I have had the honor of performing at the Victoires de la Musique Classique and of pursuing a career as a soloist and orchestral musician in France and internationally.
My career has led me to hold several prominent positions: solo violin of the Nice Opera from 2020 to 2022, concertmaster of the Karlsruhe Opera in 2022, then concertmaster of the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern from 2023 to 2025. Alongside my artistic activity, I am regularly invited as a jury member in international competitions.
My teaching is suitable for both children and adults, whether they wish to discover the violin, improve their technique, prepare for an exam, or refine their performance. For more advanced students, I offer specific support in preparing for competitions, conservatory entrance exams, and orchestra auditions, sharing the working methods that have allowed me to reach the highest level.
One or two auditions will be organized during the year to allow everyone to set a goal and be fully committed.
The classes take place in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the Porte d'Auteuil metro station.

Learning the violin or viola is a rewarding journey that blends technical precision with expressive musicality. As a string player, mastering bow control, clear intonation, and tone production is essential for expressing yourself through music. I've designed this course as a practical, personalized guide tailored specifically for students looking to develop solid fundamentals or refine advanced performance techniques.
You'll learn how to build effortless bow control, improve finger agility, master vibrato, and approach classical repertoire or orchestral/chamber music excerpts with confidence—all while maintaining a relaxed, healthy posture to prevent tension.

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.
