This class is for anyone interested starting learning or gaining new insights to playing the violin. Depending on the student's final goal we adjust the repertoire and skills that are needed for obtaining the goal.

As a musician I am inspired by many styles of playing, with classical music and Scandinavian folk being my main focus.
My goal as a teacher is to keep and increase the students love for music as well as offer necessary and appropriate skills to keep the student challenged.
Extra information

About Me
Welcome on today's Show! Today's special guest - Saimi!

Hi, my name is Saimi - a very outgoing half finnish-estonian girl who loves music, weird humour, fishing, linguistics, anything vintage and snow.
I am a classical music student at the Uniarts Helsinki Sibelius Academy and FRIKA (Free Candidate program) student at the Norwegian Academy of Music, where in addition to classical violin I study the Norwegian hardingfele. I am actively playing in orchestras and taking part of masterclasses all around the Globe. Starting from the year 2017 I have been an active member of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic which has brought me to such big stages like Berlin Philharmonie, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg etc.
In addition to playing classical music, I play (and sing) a lot of Nordic folk music - especially with my trio - Trio Lumi.

I can offer you instruction in:
- classical violin
- folk violin (focus on Scandinavian and Baltic music)
- hardingfele
- folk singing

I am a freelance musician, performing with several orchestras across Europe.
I have recently finished my Masters Studies in KASK Conservatorium, Belgium and am currently living in Oslo.
Passion for music was the main vehicle that brought me to where I am now. But a big part of the origin of that passion came from the teachers I had contact with.

.....

I am offering violin lessons, to all kind of ages and levels!!
Obviously, violin doesn't come only by itself which means all the theoretical needs such as rhythm, harmonies, solfege, etc. will also be taught.

If you would be interested in trying this beautiful instrument, send me a message!

Music is a language and we use it to communicate composers' message through our interpretation. Our favorite musicians seem to be able to do this with such ease, but perhaps it is not always easy and fun for us. This is where I come in! I would like to show you many more ways to enjoy, to love, to be swept away by the music, and ultimately making violin playing easy. Whether you need a main teacher or just an extra help with your practice or preparation for concerts/auditions, I'm happy to assist!

A bit about me: I was born in Thailand, but spent most of my musical life in the USA. I'm primarily a performer (founding member of Zorá Quartet), but love teaching. I have had the fortune of working and performing with many world class musicians and I'm eager to share what I've learned with you!

Education: Oberlin College, Indiana University, Curtis Institute of Music, Norwegian Academy of Music, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Paris Conservatory.

In my teaching I emphasize the importance of founding a correct and accurate playing technique early on. This allows the students to enjoy an effective and high quality learning process as well as avoiding physical pains and injuries from playing.

Furthermore, I encourage all my students to get in contact and work with different types of classical repertoire and other musical genres in their instrumental studies.

I offer piano and music theory lessons for students of all ages and skill levels. My lessons are designed not only to refine technique but also to bring out each student’s creativity and deepen their connection to music.
Many of my students have achieved highest results on ABRSM exams (distinctions), and won scholarships and awards in competitions. With over 12 years of teaching experience and a strong background in classical piano performance, I provide a tailored approach that meets students whichever level they are—whether they are just starting out or already at an advanced level!

The lessons take place in central Oslo, just a 5-minute walk from Oslo Central Station, on a beautiful Essex grand piano made by Steinway & Sons, which provides an inspiring sound and playing experience.
There is an optional student concert every year for those who wish to showcase their progress.

Private cello lessons for anyone interested in learning cello from the start or developing further and gaining new motivation. I focus on developing solid technique in a natural and healthy way, combined with musicality and enjoyment. Lessons may include note reading and playing together, but also playing by ear and improvisation for those interested. Repertoire is always tailored to the student’s goals, from classical and folk to jazz and popular music.

My goal as a teacher is to nurture and deepen each student’s love for music, while providing the skills and guidance needed to keep them motivated and challenged.
