About Me

About Me

Hello! My name is Yunwen and I come from Shenzhen, China. I completed my Konzertexamen in Violin Performance and Chamber Music at the University of Music Trossingen (Germany). I previously earned my Master’s degree in Chamber Music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW) and I am currently continuing my studies in Viola at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK).

Alongside my academic work, I am active as an orchestral musician and currently perform with the ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien. As a professional violinist and chamber musician, I have collaborated with internationally renowned musicians and performed in numerous concerts and musical projects across Europe and Asia.

In addition to performing, I enjoy sharing my musical knowledge and experience with others. Whether you are a beginner starting your musical journey or an advanced student preparing for auditions, exams, or concerts, I offer personalized lessons tailored to each student’s goals and needs.

My Teaching Style

My teaching focuses on adapting lessons to the individual needs of each student. I help beginners build a solid technical and musical foundation, support intermediate students in developing their technique and musical understanding, and guide advanced students in preparing for auditions, exams, or concert repertoire.

For every student, I create a personalized learning plan to ensure clear progress and meaningful development in each lesson.

With my background in violin performance and chamber music, I emphasize not only technical mastery, but also musical expression, interpretation, and artistic communication. I believe that every student has unique musical potential, and my goal is to help each student discover and develop their own musical voice.

I offer private piano lessons to students of different ages and levels. Depending on the student's final goal we adjust the repertoire and skills that are needed for obtaining the goal.

My goal as a teacher is to keep and increase the students' love for music as well as to offer necessary and appropriate knowledge/skills to keep the student challenged.

Hi there,

I am a graduate, award-winning cello soloist and music educator specializing in working with children. I have been a professor at the Richard Wagner Conservatory in Vienna since 2020 and I have been running my cello studio (live & online) since 2003.

With me you have unique opportunities to learn quickly and efficiently with fun. Take your game to a new level: learn to play your favorite pieces, learn about modern game techniques, be inspired, motivated and confident.

Everyone who wants to learn to play the cello is very welcome: children (from 4 years), beginners (children and adults), students (preparation for entrance exams, competitions), advanced...

My focus: classical, modern music, improvisation, individual learning plans

Nice to meet you!

I am a Greek violinist, originally from Thessaloniki. I have lived in Vienna since 2009 and completed my studies at the MUK Private University in the class of Lidia Baich. Before that, I studied at the Gnessin Institute in Moscow.

It's especially important to me to offer my students the opportunity to experience music and express themselves in this beautiful language during lessons. Since I myself come from the Russian school, the basic principles of the violin are combined with beautiful sound, expressiveness, and a musical character. And, of course, humor is a must!

Singing and making music are a lot of fun, but not the easiest thing... no matter which level you're at. For this, one needs energy, concentration and, above all, patience. But who succeeds in making progress finds that it's the best feeling ever to make music while using you best potential. That's what I can help with.

You sing all the time, but you want to improve your technique? Or you're a complete beginner and you want to get a taste of this intriguing music world? You're already singing in a band but you feel like your voice is getting tired easily, or that you need some tricks for finding notes? Then I can definitely help you, no matter your age or your style of music. My goal with this course is that you find your hobby easier and even more fun than it is already.

I'm currently finishing my master's degree in opera singing at the MUK and I use my knowledge to sing pop, jazz, funk... and so on, accompanied by my guitar/keyboard. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

Dear future student, I wish you much success. I have been playing the piano for 13 years. I believe that for good practice you have to master the theory. Children learn best through play, while adults learn best through example.

❓Do you already play the cello and feel like you’re still missing some of the basics?
❓Have you never played an instrument before and would now like to learn the cello?

🙋🏻‍♂️ My name is Gustav, and I’m happy to offer cello lessons in Vienna (in person) or online—for all ages and all skill levels!

🎻 To be able to make music on the cello, you first need a solid technical foundation—just like the framework of a house, which must be in place before construction can even begin.

💎 With a systematic and logically structured method, anyone can learn to play the cello with joy and ease!

🎓 In addition to my training as an instrumental pedagogue, I am also a trained concert cellist. I work as principal cellist with the Sinfonieorchester Liechtenstein and regularly perform on stage with my piano trio (Trio Souvenirs).

I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, my name is Atsu and I'd love to pass on my knowledge, my experiences and my passion to you! I started playing the violin when I was three and up until now I've studied with Fuminori Shinozaki and Simon Wiener, amongst others.

I gladly offer my assistance to you, so that you can achieve your goals efficiently. Here, it's important for me to discover your strengths together and help you develop them further. Of course, I will make sure that you have fun and you stay motivated:) Probably what's special about my lesson is that we're also going to play duets, which should help you learn to listen to other musicians and acquire the skills needed for playing in an ensemble.

In the long run: it's not just about learning the rules and correct techniques; it is also vital that you eventually learn to interpret the music on your own personal way by using your (musical) intelligence, and to have the confidence to break traditional norms. It is through the hands of artists who dare to experiment that music (like all art forms) becomes alive.

Your (or your child's) age doesn't matter that much; it's never too late to start learning! I will adapt the teaching methods individually.
