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 Camille, I'm 26 years old and I grew up in France, where I completed my violin training with soloist Marie Cantagrill. I then obtained my Bachelor's degree at the University of Arts in Graz (Austria), and I also studied for a year at the Academy of Music in Krakow with Professor Wojciech Koprowski.

Currently, I am continuing my studies in violin pedagogy (IGP – instrumental and vocal pedagogy) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW).

Thanks to my experience with teachers from various countries, I have acquired a lot of knowledge in pedagogy, study techniques, musicality, etc., which I would love to share with you!

For me, it is essential to cultivate the pleasure of playing and to work on technique in the service of music.

Courses can be given in French, German or English, depending on your preferences.

I offer lessons at my home (equipped with an electric piano, music stand, etc.) or I can also travel to you, depending on the distance.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or additional information.

See you soon !
Camille

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.

My name is Daniela, and I am a cross-over violist from Costa Rica. I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 to pursue my studies at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Classical Music (Viola). I am currently continuing my journey at Codarts with a Master's degree in Latin Music.

During my time in the Netherlands, I have been part of a wide range of musical projects across different genres — from classical orchestras and chamber music to pop, jazz, and world music collaborations. I've performed with ensembles such as the Jong Metropole and recorded with various pop, jazz, and fusion bands. I am also the bandleader of my own Latin project, La Reunión, and work as a freelance musician with diverse musical groups.

Before moving to the Netherlands, I studied Music Education at the University of Costa Rica and worked for several years as a private teacher. I have experience teaching violin and viola to both children and adults.

As a teacher, I am kind and patient. I believe in the value of consistent, focused work and in helping students grow step by step. I aim to make the learning process feel easy and fun!

This violin course is designed for beginners and intermediate students, and aims to develop the essential technical and musical skills for playing smoothly and expressively. The program includes learning the fundamentals of violin playing, such as correct posture, grip, and producing a clear tone. You'll work on scales and arpeggios to develop your dexterity, as well as bowing techniques to master different stroke patterns. Sheet music reading, musical analysis, and music theory practice are integrated into the course to strengthen your theoretical knowledge and music-reading skills. Alongside this, you'll explore a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical works to more contemporary pieces, and will have the opportunity to work in a group to improve your listening and coordination with other musicians. The course also includes personalized guidance to structure your practice and prepare you for performances, with an emphasis on musical expression and managing stage fright. My approach aims to make each student independent and to encourage their musical development in a caring and motivating environment.

Hi! my lessons focus on building solid violin skills in a clear, supportive way. Students learn proper technique, posture, tone production, and music reading while developing good practice habits from the start. Lessons are structured but flexible, allowing each student to progress at a pace that makes sense for them.
I work with beginners and continuing students, tailoring each lesson to individual goals whether that’s improving technique, preparing for school orchestra, or simply learning to play with more confidence. The emphasis is on steady progress, consistency, and making the learning process approachable and rewarding.
Lessons include technical exercises, repertoire, and practical strategies students can use when practicing on their own.

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.

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

Je suis professeur de violon pour tous les âges et tous les niveaux. Je travaille avec chaque élève afin de déterminer la meilleure façon de développer ses capacités musicales et techniques.

Ma philosophie pédagogique vise d'abord à développer la voix et l'oreille musicale de l'élève. L'apprentissage de la technique se fera alors naturellement, sans imposer à l'élève une approche rigide. D'excellentes bases techniques seront acquises à partir de l'exploration des œuvres musicales qui intéressent chaque élève. En mettant l'accent sur l'expérimentation et la créativité, je cherche à aider mes élèves à devenir leur meilleur enseignant.

Avec plus de 10 ans d’expérience dans l’enseignement, je suis toujours enthousiaste à vous aider à :

Prendre un bon départ dans la pratique du violon
Préparer à une audition ou à un examen
Découvrir les joies de la musique

Je me réjouis de vous aider à atteindre vos objectifs avec le violon !

Hallo, my name is Chloe Slane, and I am currently finishing my degree in college right now studying abroad in Berlin. I have played the viola since I was 8 years old, and started on the violin at 6. I am currently getting both a music degree in Viola Performance and a Philosophy degree, in a 5-year Double Major Program through a school in New York. I will be in Berlin for the whole school year & most of the summer, so if you are interested and cheap & easy lessons for your kids to learn some more, I am happy to help out! I am an advanced level, have been playing for about 12-13 years, and it has become one of my main professions in life, so it is very much a skill of mine. Although I am young, I love helping and teaching kids as well, as it sparks interest in many!
