Bryan - Cumming, GA, United StatesC$42

C$42Private Viola Lessons for ages 3-17 // No previous experience required!

Trusted teacher: For violin and viola students, I use a combination of the Essential Elements curriculum, the Suzuki curriculum, and I also often compose original music tailored to the learning needs of each student. I want the student’s experience to be fun as well as educational, so in addition to the curriculum exercises, I will also be sure to add in some fun pieces that the student already is familiar with and enjoys. I have learned that being immersed in the world of music is vital for being a good teacher. Musicians who only teach and do not “cross-train” by performing on their instruments regularly and continuing learning simply do not have as much to offer to their students. I pursue all of these avenues actively, not only for my own benefit, but also for that of my students. My primary goal as a teacher is to be a motivating and inspiring mentor and guide. As the famous Chinese proverb says, a teacher opens the door, but students must enter by themselves. My highest aspiration is to show my students doors that they never knew existed, and giving them the tools to go through those doors on their own.

Eliott - FranceC$60

C$60Professionnal musician gives erhu (chinese violin) lessons online

Trusted teacher: Hello, My name is Eliott Tordo. I am an Erhu Player from France. I started playing the Erhu spontaneously, I learned it all on my own. Building over the years what I would describe as a modernized, western style of playing. Rapidly, this unique style of playing found its audience on the web, and playing the Erhu became my main activity. I always loved teaching, what I'm looking for when working with someone is to give them means of developing themselves, of building their own playing. I work differently with each student, taking inspiration from my own experience. If you want to work with me or if you have any other questions feel free to contact me.

Joshua - Zwolle, NetherlandsC$87

C$87Violin/viola for amateurs of all ages to young conservatory candidates

Trusted teacher: I'm a violist and music teacher, and my journey with the viola began by chance. Before I picked up the instrument, I didn't even know it existed. I started relatively late, at fourteen, compared to my peers, and therefore I understand well the challenges that come with starting an instrument later in life. Yet, from the very first moment, the viola felt like my instrument, and it has been my great passion ever since. Although my main subject is viola, I also teach violin based on my methodology training at the ArtEZ Conservatory. My portfolio includes repertoire and teaching materials for violin, allowing me to effectively guide students on both instruments. I teach students of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced amateurs, and I focus not only on technique and interpretation but also on the feeling and experience of music. I guide my students in connecting body, emotion, and sound, helping them to unleash the music that already resides within them. My lessons are designed to develop confidence, self-expression, and a joy in playing, whether they're exploring the viola or the violin.

Carlos - Utrecht, NetherlandsC$100

C$100Carlos Gomez - Do you want to play violin or viola? Then click here!

Trusted teacher: I am Carlos (08/02/1992), professional violinist and violin and viola teacher. I started playing the violin when I was 15 years old. This means I can still clearly remember the methods and techniques I used to learn how to play the violin. I will certainly take these experiences with me into my teaching position. These insights allow me to teach each student according to his/her desires and needs. My passion for teaching started when my father and nephew wanted to learn to play the violin. Since then I have continued to teach many students because I get energy and inspiration from my students. In recent years I have taught many different students and because of this I have gained a lot of experience in using different methodologies. Teaching is a big responsibility. My priority is to let the student have fun while learning and to stimulate musicality/creativity. Every student is different and has different interests, therefore every student will be taught in a different way and with a different method. The styles I teach can vary from classical to jazz, pop, etc. I have taught students of different levels both in Spain and in the Netherlands: beginners, amateurs, advanced. So I teach students who are preparing for the conservatory, but also the very first beginners. Because I am from Spain, I can teach in Spanish, English and Dutch.

Ana - Belgrade, SerbiaC$101

C$101Music classes of Violin and Viola from symphony orchestra member and school teacher

Trusted teacher: Hello, I'm Ana and I'm a graduated violist, a permanent member of Symphony orchestra "Stanislav Binicki" in Belgrade, Serbia. Before passing the audition in an orchestra in January of 2017, I was a professor of viola and violin in a special boarding school for musically gifted children "Skola za muzicke talente Cuprija", for five years. The school is founded and lead by the "Academy of music arts" in Belgrade. There are three schools in the world of that kind: in London, Moscow, and Serbia. My students got 25 1st and few 2nd awards in the republic and international competitions, and all of them signed in to desired academies in Germany, Canada and Serbia as first on the list and with full scholarships. We still keep in touch :) I was a member of the Royal chamber orchestra St. George for four years and took part in many world tours. I played also in National Radio and Television Orchestra in Serbia, Orchestra of National theater of Serbia, National Symphony orchestra of Montenegro and National Symphony orchestra in Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was a member of orchestras which took part in projects "Bridges for the future" in Bern, Switzerland, “Festival Junger Kunstler”, Bayreuth, Germany, “Deutsch-Skandinavischen Jungend-Philharmonie” in Berlin, “Music days international festival” in Russe, Bulgaria, etc. I am currently a Ph.D. student in the 3rd year of studies in Management for culture and media, on the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Belgrade. I tend to explain to students as simple and as effective as possible. My students enjoy classes, love to play and ask many questions :) I insist on good technique and posture because even if it takes a little bit more time in the beginning, it makes future progress easy and fast.

Edi - Rijeka, CroatiaC$60

C$60Art of violin - music lessons for all levels and ages

Trusted teacher: My passion for sharing knowledge was evident throughout my studies. Having a background in Russian/Soviet violin school, my goal is to teach everyone the principles of violin playing I stand behind so that they can apply this knowledge themselves and in doing so, acquire independence. In other words – teach a man to fish! Years ago, along with my studies, I dived into performance psychology research as I was so intrigued by it! It would make me happy to be able to share this amazing knowledge on the art of performing and getting into the zone when playing to audiences. Besides enjoying teaching children and adult beginners, I feel that my strongest value is in working with advanced students, where my knowledge and guidance can have an immense impact on their musical life. I strongly believe in guiding each person towards individuality and finding their own unique expression, their voice, rather than making them a copy of their teacher. Technique serves a purpose only to enable our soul to express itself freely... Being able to inspire others is one of the greatest gifts. After each lesson, my students will have clear practice instructions to achieve all their musical dreams!

Gian Marco - New Malden, United KingdomC$116

C$116Violin/Viola/Music Theory Tutor with international experience

Trusted teacher: I am a professional musician and educator, with international experience as a Violin/Viola/ Chamber Music/Theory teacher, soloist, orchestra leader, chamber musician, and jury member. I have graduated in Violin at the Conservatory of Music "G.P. da Palestrina" of Cagliari- Italy and in Viola at the Conservatory of Music "G. Verdi" of Milan-Italy. My professional activity led me to work in several orchestras as performer, and in various music schools as upper- string and chamber music teacher. I lived and worked in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and since 2012 I made London my home, where I developed further teaching experience within the British system. I have also founded "The Geminiani Project" of which I am the director and the leader of the Camerata Geminiani, ensemble that has been invited to perform in England, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark, and Sweden. At the same time I have established my ensemble, I have also launched the Geminiani Youth Orchestra (formed by young musicians aged 6 to 17 years old) as I believe in the importance of giving an opportunity to young players to perform together, and the amateur ensemble Hampton Chamber Orchestra; we performed with both orchestras at various venues in London. Regarding my teaching technique, I believe that each student is different and unique, so the first thing I try to do is to establish a connection, then I try to understand the major skills and major difficulties of the student in order to develop a personalised system; I pay much importance also to the emotional aspect the student is dealing with in order to build passion and love for music. I strongly believe that, once achieved a technical skill, the student must have the chance to play with the teacher and with other students, and feel the excitement of making music together. I have experience in preparing students for auditions, competitions, or ABRSM/Trinity exams with excellent results; I love what I do and I love to see my pupils achieving high level results. Some of my students have been awarded at international competitions, some other former students are covering leading roles in international orchestras or in chamber ensembles.

Art of violin - music lessons for all levels and ages (Rijeka)

Edi

Thank you infinitely and definitely recommend Edi! He is an amasing teacher, a marvellously fine musician and a great violinist and violist. During the lesson everything is explained, shown, refined! How much mental strength is invested with love into the lessons! There is no doubt that the violin/viola is Edi’s passion, and not just a profession, and this is passed on to and inspires me. I am glad that I found him as a viola teacher. I admire Edi’s talent, ability to formulate educational material, the learning process itself and the ability to create a wonderfully warm atmosphere during the lessons and in his follow-up emails. In addition to Edi’s pedagogical qualities, he is also a very pleasant, positive and interesting person with wonderfully diverse intellectual interests. Edi is a wonderful violin/viola teacher, a very fine musician, and a charming person! A talented, kind, sympathetic man in love with music!
