Learn the violin with joy and imagination, music theory

From 203.88 C$ /h

I would like to help you on the way to realize your dream of playing the violin. As a trained violinist (studied in Salzburg and Berlin) and experienced violin teacher, I know what is important when playing the violin and can show you how to solve your problems, whether it be practicing, before appearances or exams. I am there for you and would be happy to accompany you on your way. I am open to different styles, whether you want to play the violin the classic way, rock the violin or improvise jazzy. Repertoire requests are very welcome with me. If you wish, you can also learn the viola.
I will teach at my home, at your place or via Skype, as you wish. I grew up in Switzerland and speak Swiss German, and I also teach in High German, English, French or Russian.
I also offer music theory, which can be booked as an addition to violin lessons or as a separate subject.

I would be very happy to hear from you soon!

I am currently a student at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. I'm in my third bachelor's degree. I have been taking harp lessons for 13 years with various renowned teachers such as Eline Groslot and Annie Lavoisier. During this period I also gained a lot of experience as a concert harpist. Including the second prize in the Concours Français de la Harpe (2017). And for 3 years I also give private lessons in harp and solfège.

These lessons focus on both (young) children who want to learn harp and adults who want to start using harp. Each student is guided at his own pace and the lessons are adapted to the wishes of each student.
Note learning lessons are also adjusted as much as possible to the student's pace.

I am Letizia, 26 years old and I play the clarinet!
I've been teaching children, teenagers, and adults for nine years. I'll be completing my Master's degree in Music Education (at the Zurich University of the Arts) in June 2022.
I enjoy making music with children and adults who know, know about, or are learning to play the clarinet!
I believe that music is very important for political development, to learn to listen to other people and to listen to them.

So letizia, she's 26 years old and she plays the clarinetto! A Giugno 2022 finished the degree in Pedagogia musicale presso at the Zurich University of the Arts, and he received the Master in Music Performance in 2020. Insegno clarinetto a bambini, ragazzi e adultsi dal 2013 in private school in Italy. It is also available for introducing children and adults to the world of musical instruments, including my instruments, which can also be used to introduce musical instruments or elements of clarinet technology and continue the proprio percorso di studi. So no convinta che la musica ci renda persone migliori: disposte all'ascolto, alla cooperazione e alla ricerca della bellezza.

I'm a 26-year-old clarinetist; I'm completing my Master's degree in Music Education in June at the Zurich University of the Arts, where I also studied for my Master's degree in Music Performance (2018-20).
I have been teaching music to children, teenagers and adults in Switzerland and Italy for 9 years.
I can offer lessons to children and adults who want to start making music or get closer to the instrument!
I think music makes people better listeners and collaborators, and I believe in the power of music and art to make the world a more beautiful place.

Have you always wanted to play the flute? Or...have you always wanted to have a hobby that improves the quality of your life? Learning a musical instrument not only sustains and feeds the brain, but it also improves so many other cognitive and physical aspects of the human body.
It's been widely studied and proven that learning a musical instrument improves memory, relieves stress, teaches you how to use both hemispheres, gives you a sense of achievement and...it's a lot of fun!

Have you always wanted to learn the flute? Or...are you looking for a hobby that can improve your life? But there are also other, scientifically proven, positive effects for music lessons: Learning and playing an instrument promotes intellectual development, trains fine motor skills, awakens creative and emotional potential and conveys important fundamental aspects for successful and happy learning!
But the most important thing is...it's really fun!!

Warm sounds and stylistic versatility - the cello offers that and much more!
Ioanna gives her student body a lively and enriching approach to music. In this way, she awakens the joy of the variety of cello playing. She teaches the various playing techniques in a natural teaching atmosphere. She also experiments with simple melodies, scales and small improvisations. She also dares to work with her students on larger works from the wide range of cello literature.

In terms of pitch, the cello is most similar to the human voice - and thus also to the human soul.

Would you like to learn viola, violin or piano? I am happy to support you with creativity and patience in the learning process. The most important thing for me is that the focus is on enjoying making music and developing at your own pace.
In the summer of 2022 I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Classical Music at the Basel Music Academy. After an internship at a special education school in Winterthur, I have been studying speech therapy in Zurich since 2023 and play the viola in orchestral projects, various chamber music formations and the violin in a band.
I look forward to welcoming you to my classes soon!

Music theory lessons, for children (from 9 years old) and adults.

Passionate about music theory and music theory, I would be happy to share with you my enthusiasm for music theory, so unfairly devalued, due to the sometimes brutal methods with which it is taught.

In the program :
- reading notes (treble clefs, C clefs, F clefs)
- reading rhythms (quarter notes, eighth notes, double / triple / quadruple eighth notes, triplets and other dotted notes)
- dictation of notes (training your ear takes time, but when the exercises are "tailor-made" and progressive, you progress faster)
- dictation of rhythms

Do not hesitate to tell me the context of your request (competition preparation, repurposing of instruments, exams, etc.).

The course durations offered are deliberately short to encourage maximum concentration.

It will be essential to prepare the exercises offered between classes, to progress in a way that gives you satisfaction and nourishes your motivation.

Classes available in English as well.

I am a professional violin and viola teacher based in Zurich, teaching in person at students' location or online, in English, German or Russian.

(Reviews below)

As well as instrumental teaching and ensemble coaching of at all levels over the last 12 years, I’ve led numerous professional workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ workshops in London and was an assistant on the Primary Arpeggione viola course and at the Springgrove music competition. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I participated in their conferences across Europe.

I have prepared students for music exams at all levels, working with them on music theory, aural and sight reading skills, and regularly accompany students on the piano.

As a performing musician, I perform internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, recently including at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and Philharmonie in Berlin. I’m a Tillett Trust and Villa Musica artist, winner of the Małopolska competition, Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition.

I hold a masters degree with first class honours from the class of Tabea Zimmermann at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, and Bachelors with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Toby is an outstanding instructor and works with children very naturally. My 11 year old son has been taking lessons with Toby for over two months and is eager for each lesson. Toby is extremely talented, but beyond that, he engages my son deeply with the music itself, fundamental techniques, music theory, and even the interpretation of the music. Toby is kind, encouraging, and works with students at a level that is appropriate. He has allowed my son to chose music that if fun and interesting to practice, even though the pieces are challenging. In fact, I often sit in to listen to the lessons, as they are so good. My son has had a couple of lessons with Toby while company has been over, and everyone has commented on how amazing Toby is as an instructor. I can not recommend Toby enough and hope to continue lessons with him for a long time.

Pamela B.
Toby is really a great teacher who teaches the pieces well and brings out more of the feeling in the playing. We particularly liked that. Good technique is one thing, but feeling the music is such an important element in music and learning a piece of music. He also teaches theory very well!

Tatyana M.
Toby is a fantastic teacher. He is very reliable as he is consistently organised and punctual. I constantly see progress in my child’s music skills because every lesson Toby delivers is effective and well-structured. I highly recommend him to all who wish to learn or improve on their music skills.

Shaun W.
Knowledgeable and frank, Toby was able to provide me with crucial information quickly and efficiently.

Hanna S.
Toby can explain things very well and understandably, is patient and friendly and easily adapts to the student's level.

Jacques R.
Toby is an excellent tutor with top teaching skills..he teaches music theory in a way my 12 year old son understands the lesson easily; Toby is very attentive

Dear violinists,

I am eager to work with you and share my biggest passion with you, and hopefully reveal new and interesting aspects of music for your own practice.

After many years of studying in ZHdK, and having students of all levels attending the entrance exams in Zürich, Luzern, and Basel, I am looking forward to prepare you to your upcoming exam or without regards to it.

Topics will include different aspects of music theory: analysis, ear training, sight reading, rhythm, score-reading, music history, etc.

🎻🎹 Hello, I’m Flavio!
Would you like to start learning the violin or piano? Are you returning to music after a break, or simply looking for a new musical hobby, for yourself or your child? I’d be happy to accompany you on this journey :)

I’m a violinist trained at the Conservatorio “Luca Marenzio” in Brescia, where I completed a traditional 10-year diploma in violin performance in 2016. I gained extensive experience as a concert musician, playing as first violin in distinguished orchestras and baroque ensembles.

Alongside the violin, I also teach piano. I studied piano as a complementary instrument during my conservatory studies and have continued to cultivate it for many years, focusing mainly on Russian late-Romantic repertoire.

In my teaching, I place strong emphasis on solid fundamentals and the development of musical curiosity from the very first lessons. I am happy to teach both children and adults of any level, adapting each lesson to the student’s pace, personality, and goals. If you’d like to get started, want to know more, or would like to arrange a lesson, feel free to send me a message, I’d be very happy to hear from you! :)
