About Me

Je m’appelle Annika, et je suis violoniste professionnelle depuis l’âge de 12 ans. Le violon fait partie intégrante de ma vie depuis maintenant 23 ans. Très tôt, j’ai eu la chance de me produire en tant que soliste dans divers concerts, ce qui m’a permis d’explorer un large répertoire et de vivre des expériences musicales riches et variées. Mon amour pour le violon n’a jamais faibli, et je continue à jouer avec la même passion qu’à mes débuts.

En parallèle de ma carrière de musicienne, j’enseigne le violon depuis mes 20 ans. L’enseignement occupe une place très importante dans ma vie. Ce que j’aime particulièrement, c’est transmettre une méthode de travail efficace et personnalisée à chaque élève. Apprendre à pratiquer de manière intelligente et structurée est, selon moi, la clé de la progression. Je prends donc beaucoup de plaisir à aider mes élèves à développer leur autonomie, leur oreille, leur musicalité, ainsi qu’une technique solide.

J’enseigne à la fois aux débutants et aux musiciens plus avancés, en adaptant toujours mon approche au profil et aux objectifs de chacun. Que ce soit pour le plaisir, pour la préparation à un concours ou pour intégrer une colonie ou un stage de musique, je m’investis pleinement dans chaque parcours. Mon objectif est de transmettre non seulement les outils techniques nécessaires, mais aussi la joie de jouer et la confiance en soi.

En tant que professeure, je suis convaincue qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour apprendre un instrument. J’enseigne aussi bien à de jeunes enfants qu’à des adultes. Pour tous, je privilégie une approche axée d’abord sur la pratique de l’instrument, avant d’approfondir la lecture de notes et les notions théoriques. Cela permet de ressentir du plaisir dès les premiers cours, car c’est, selon moi, l’essence même de la musique. Si besoin, je propose également des exercices supplémentaires et des cours de solfège pour accompagner au mieux chaque élève dans son apprentissage.

Passionate about teaching, I have devoted a large part of my time to it for 10 years with varied experiences in France and Argentina.

Whatever the age of the student, beginner level or confirmed, I offer private lessons of violin and viola.

No knowledge or musical notion is necessary beforehand, the theoretical achievements are made as and when the discovery of the instrument.

In this violin course you will learn a foundation in learning one of the most rewarding instruments in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Grip the bow, hold the violin, have the perfect hand position and enjoy playing the strings while learning how to read the notes, the violin rhythm and technique.

Students will generally learn better if they feel a connection developing with their teacher, whether that’s through humour, showing care about their development, or making sure teacher devote time equally to all students when in a group.

You will not regret. 😊

We work there either on an instrument (the violin or the viola), or on musical training.
We can build on your current level or start a new learning journey together.
It is also possible to reinforce theoretical concepts, for example through occasional support courses.

Depending on the student's needs and desires, we can work on acquiring sound technique on the instrument (violin or viola), work on pieces in the style of your choice, explore the construction of a piece, discuss theory, and see how it applies to the instrument... All this in a fun setting!
A graduate of the conservatory in classical violin (DEM), I am currently studying jazz, improvisation, and baroque violin, as well as musicology at the Sorbonne. I perform regularly in concerts (classical, world music, jazz) throughout France, and I already have experience giving private lessons. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

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.
