Violin and viola lessons online with hand and heart

From 93 C$ /h

"Music is learned through music." (Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy)

Highly qualified violin (optionally viola) lessons. Well-founded technical structure based on natural motion sequences. Pieces of music of all styles. Music theory and sheet music learning with ease.
Playful lessons for children with colors, pictures and child-friendly methodology that is fun.
Differentiated musical design and technical refinement for adults.

I started teaching my first violin student when I was 16 years old. After graduating from high school, parallel to my music studies at the time, I began to teach violin at a youth music school in the Rhineland.
After completing my studies, I also taught at the youth music school in Aachen in addition to my private students. Since 2008 I have taught violin, viola, orchestral conducting and chamber music at the State Youth Music School in Hamburg and at the State Conservatory in Schwerin for many years. A large and loyal swarm of private students accompanied me for over 30 years. Taking care of this with hand and heart was and is a great pleasure for me.

About Me

My name is Birgit. I studied classical violin and chamber music at the Highschool for Music and Dance in Cologne and Royal Academy for Music, Maastricht (NL). My formative teachers were Prof. Hariolf Schlichtig (former viola player in the Cherubini Quartet), Prof. Charles-André Linale (former Primarius in the Orpheus Quartet) and Prof. Szreder (well known for his concerts with contemporary music).
I completed my three successive studies with a diploma for instrumental pedagogy, an artistic maturity exam and a chamber music exam with top marks. Since then I have been following a stream of further development in music and also personally, because for me standstill is unthinkable and lifelong learning is very fulfilling.
I can be heard regularly in concerts with various duo partners and ensembles. I have been doing classical chamber music for many years, plus gypsy music, klezmer and free improvisation.
I am very keen to experiment and I love "crossover" of all kinds with classic violin, improvisation and also electric violin.
I have now released 5 CDs with my own pieces, some composed - some improvised.

I taught my first violin student when I was 16 years old. After graduating from high school, I began teaching violin at a youth music school, parallel to my music studies at this time.
After completing my studies, I taught in addition to my private students at the youth music school in Aachen. Since 2008 I have been teaching violin, viola, orchestra conducting and chamber music at the State Youth Music School in Hamburg and at the State Conservatory in Schwerin for many years. A large and loyal swarm of private students accompanied me for over 30 years. Taking care of their development was and is a great pleasure for me.

I love to pass on the ability to play the queen of instruments, the violin, including her big sister, the viola.

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.

Ik ben Mark, pianist en student aan Conservatorium Maastricht. In 2026 werd ik toegelaten tot zowel Berklee College of Music (VS) als Conservatorium Maastricht, waar ik ervoor koos mijn studie voort te zetten.

Ik geef pianolessen aan leerlingen van alle leeftijden en niveaus. Tijdens de lessen werken we aan pianotechniek, muzikaliteit, improvisatie, gehoortraining en muziektheorie, altijd afgestemd op jouw persoonlijke doelen en muzikale interesses.

Je kunt kiezen voor klassieke piano, jazz, improvisatie of een combinatie hiervan. Of je nu helemaal vanaf het begin begint, al ervaring hebt of je voorbereidt op een toelatingsexamen of conservatoriumstudie, ik pas de lessen aan jouw niveau en doelen aan.

Mijn lessen zijn persoonlijk, gestructureerd en ontspannen. Mijn doel is niet alleen om je te leren piano spelen, maar ook om je muzikale inzicht, creativiteit en zelfvertrouwen te ontwikkelen.

Ik geef les in het Engels en Russisch. De lessen kunnen online plaatsvinden of persoonlijk in Maastricht en omliggende steden.

My teaching style is very flexible and adaptable. First off, I believe each student is special in their own way and that there is no one way of teaching. I try to make my classes fun, not only focusing on the progress but also giving the space for the adventure of listening to different genres or even learning about each band or artist. I also think that every topic can be interesting if portrayed in the right way. It can be equally fun to feel the trembling energy in metal, the flowy feel in jazz, or committing and working hard to learn scales and understand music theory. I believe that if you give the right amount of time and space to analyze any aspect in music that might seem intimidating or scary, you might surprise yourself and learn a lot more than you expected.

Another one of my strengths is giving insight on how to learn different techniques such as fingerstyle, 3-finger fingerstyle, slap, double thumb, playing with a pick, muted playing, and any other technique you can imagine. I can show you not only how to play all those techniques but also how to master the dynamics of each technique, help you choose when to use which one, and how to choose a tone that fits your style of playing.

I also have to mention, having gigged and toured professionally for over five years, I can give you personal insight on what goes on in my head while under pressure on stage, how I got used to stage fright, what gear I and many other musicians use, and a lot of different aspects of being a professional, touring musician.
