Violin Lessons in English for all levels: complete beginners welcome!

Von 27.57 Fr /Std

I believe in a holistic music teaching style! This means I teach music by ear and using sheet music. Ideally, my students will learn to enjoy making music with their instrument and be able to hear the progress they are making each week. We will learn how to read music, music theory, and musical pieces at your level. I always teach in a student-focused way: what the student gets excited about is what I will teach! I teach classical music, jazz and various kinds of folk music. I have taught children for several years and I have experience teaching people of all ages. I really look forward to teaching you and working with you! :)

Zusätzliche Informationen

Please bring your violin and any music you are currently working on. If you are just beginning, just bring your instrument!

Über mich

I am a classically trained violinist and violist from the US. I was trained with the Suzuki method and I am currently obtaining my Suzuki teacher training. I believe in holistically training students to play their instruments so that playing music can become like a second language. I will teach both ear training and with sheet music. I will also teach music theory, sight-reading, rhythm and various other skills that are necessary for musicians.

I will always focus on the student's needs and structure our lessons around what the student is most interested in. Not only do I play classical music but I have also been trained by some of the foremost folk and jazz violinists and musicians in the US and I will happily teach any genre from classical, to jazz to different kinds of folk music (Scottish, Irish, Old-time, bluegrass, etc.).

My students will walk away from our lessons feeling like they are making progress, feeling like they are learning a new way of looking at playing their instrument, and hopefully feeling excited and inspired :)

Bildung

I attended Oakland School for the Arts, a selective youth arts school. I graduated from Berkeley High School with a 3.9 GPA and having played in the jazz and orchestra programs there. I now attend university in Berlin.

My love for this wonderful instrument and my extensive experience have made it possible to achieve many successes with my students, such as helping them pass auditions for music schools and music colleges, as well as receive very good results in competitions.

From personal experience, having changed my violin-playing technique several times, I put emphasis on the bow-hold, holding of the violin, and playing with the left hand. I strive for, as much as possible, a relaxed body during playing. My favorite part of teaching is discovering how to interpret individual musical pieces along with the students, so every feeling and every story is reflected in the sound. I am very thankful that I have had the opportunity to learn from so many excellent musicians who have always treated music as fantasy that has not limits.

Hi my name is Anne.

I play the violin and the viola and I have studied at the conservatory at ArtEZ Jazz & Pop.

During my studies I started to build by violin teacher practice. Apart from my private students I taught at the music school "Muziekdorp" in Wijchen and coached a band of high school students for a year.
Next to teaching I play concerts with the "Metropole Academy", I have a string quartet "The Four Frogs in te Woods", and I'm playing in a Folk string duo.

Students of all ages and categories are welcome in my lesson.
Classical, Folk, Rock, Pop, Jazz, and free improvisation are some of the genres you can discover in our lessons.
I did a Teacher Training with the American Violinist Mark O'Connor and finished this training with a diploma. His method is a very beautiful and comprehensive way to learn the variety of the violinistic possibilities.

We will play a lot of music together.
Starting with a correct violin posture you will develop a brought variety of techniques to find your own style.

Being able to play an instrument is an enrichment for everyone!

I would be happy to meet you.
