Hello,
Recently graduated with a double master's degree (master in pedagogy + master in performance) in violin at the Hochschule für Musik in Basel, I offer violin lessons.

My lessons are aimed at a wide audience of all levels (from beginners to 3rd cycle conservatory) and of all ages.

I can adapt to the needs and objectives of each student and, for example, offer additional musical training courses.
I am also open to all types of directories.

I can give lessons at my home, but also at the Hochschule in Basel or at the student's home if it is not too far away.

I am currently a teacher at the Maestri academy in Riedisheim.

I speak French, English (B2) and German (B2)

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Music enables our mind to better focus on feelings, skills, interactions with the others, communications and concentration. Making our soul thinking "musically" gives us the possibility to see the world from a different perspective and to develop our creativity!
My lessons are designed for kids, teens and adults. You can join my courses about theorical subjects (harmony, music theory of jazz and classics), jazz singing or violin.
If you want to try out, don't hesitate to contact me! :)

In my career, my life is frozen, my Lust, my Motivation, and my Ratschläge, my life is erroneous. Even though the settings are individual and personal, the programs are different.

Since I have been teaching violin and music, not a day has gone by without me saying to myself that motivation and pleasure are the greatest drivers of learning. This is why I always favor a relaxed and work-friendly atmosphere during my classes. Technique is of course of great importance to me.
I teach musical initiation, music theory and the viola which I practiced in chamber music and of course the violin, my main instrument with which I perform in several orchestras and ensembles.

As a violinist for 21 years now, 12 years at the conservatory and 9 years as a private teacher, I offer quality lessons adapted to your level. We'll focus on technique (scales, etudes) but we'll also look at a few tricks to improve your playing.
It's advisable to do some music theory on the side to be able to read notes and rhythm properly. I can help you with that too.
I'm very patient and gentle. I can come to your place, but I can also give lessons by videoconference.

It is said that the violin is very close to the human voice.
By playing the instrument you can transform the voice of your heart into sound.

My lessons offer both an introduction to the fundamentals of violin playing and the pleasure of playing a piece. Learning the basics deepens your understanding of the instrument and its interaction with your body, stimulating both your right and left brain hemispheres, which also promotes inner development.

For aspiring violinists, I also give advice on posture, bow control (e.g. avoiding tendonitis) and further development regarding work in ensembles such as orchestras and chamber music if desired.

Classes usually take place at my home. Online instruction is also possible.

Once a year (this year in November) there will be a concert for my students in Basel.

About me:

I started playing the violin when I was four years old.
First at home, then at family celebrations and finally among and with well-known musicians in Japan.

With great curiosity and passion for music, I moved to Europe in 2000, where I completed my artist diploma, concert exam, and additional chamber music studies with the world-renowned Alban Berg Quartet at the Cologne University of Music. I received further valuable inspiration through studies with members of the Artemis Quartet at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Brussels.

During my training I was able to successfully participate in several international competitions, including the 23rd International Michelangelo Abbado Competition in Milan (2nd prize and the Paolo Borciani Prize) and the Alberto Curci Competition in Naples (3rd prize).

I currently perform regularly with the Basel Symphony Orchestra and the Basel Chamber Orchestra. In addition to my orchestral work, I enjoy chamber music.

I've been giving private lessons for about 20 years. I'm also a licensed music teacher for middle and high school students in Japan.

I love to teach and I am always happy to discover new things with my students, I think there is always something new to learn from both sides. For me it's very important to create a good atmosphere for the students, and that they feel comfortable during the lessons. I like to provide them as much as I can and make this process of learning a very special adventure. My lessons are more in the direction of developing the student’s musical ideas. As well as working on the technique of the instrument;)

My name is Ane, a violinist from the Basque Country. After completing my bachelor's degree in violin at the Basel University of Music with Prof. Barbara Doll, I am now excited to begin my master's degree in violin pedagogy. Teaching has always been an important part of my musical vocation: I enjoy providing individual support to each student, adapting to their tempo, and helping them discover the joy of playing and expressing themselves with their instrument. My training and orchestral experience have given me a broad musical perspective, but what motivates me most now is passing on this knowledge in a practical and personal way. In my teaching, I emphasize a balance between technique, musicality, and creativity, so that playing the violin is not just a challenge, but also an enriching and enjoyable experience.

My name is Alinka and I am a violin / viola teacher based in Basel, Switzerland.

I welcome students of all ages, whether you are getting started on a violin for the very first time, or to coming back to it after many years. I provide lessons catered to each individual, and am keen to help you on your musical journey! I like to combine building basic technical foundations with helping someone to connect with their own artistic expression. With children, I make lessons fun and interactive as they learn the basics of playing.

I graduated from the Musik Akademie Basel with a distinction in my Masters, and have performed all over Europe in renowned concert halls and festivals. I love teaching, getting to know students and helping them develop. I have years of experience and am dedicated to what I do.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I’m Gaia!
I’m a professional violinist and passionate teacher.

My course is designed for motivated violinists who are looking for guidance to grow and advance, as well as for beginners interested in discovering the world of the violin.
My teaching approach focuses on developing a strong musical sense together with a clear and structured methodology that ensures complete technical training. Among my greatest interests are pedagogy and psychology ; I read extensively on these topics to become the most well-rounded teacher I can be, capable of helping children, teenagers, and adults in their musical learning.

During my teaching activity, I often find myself recalling lessons and insights I received from my own mentors throughout my studies. I enjoy translating advanced concepts into simple and digestible forms for children and young students. I believe that every teacher has the responsibility to believe in the potential of each student and to constantly challenge themselves to find ways to make even complex ideas accessible. It is precisely at this age that the most important seeds of growth are planted.
I deeply believe that music is a personal investment that contributes to the full development of the individual. For this reason, I always prioritize empathy, mutual respect, and commitment in my lessons. A lasting improvement on the instrument can only be built on these foundations.
I also strive to keep my teaching informed by reading and researching beyond instrumental technique ;providing my students with a historically and theoretically aware approach to every piece we study.

I completed my Bachelor’s studies at the HMTMH Hannover (graduating with top marks, German 1.0 / Swiss 6.0 equivalent), and I am currently finishing my Specialized Master in Music Performance and Specialized Master in Chamber Music at the Musik Akademie Basel.
I have extensive experience in concert and ensemble performance and have been among the laureates of the Arthur Grumiaux International Violin Competition, the Città di Padova International Violin Competition, the Feast of Duos Sion, and a finalist at the ROSL Chamber Music Competition in London.
With my ensemble Trio Venere, I had the opportunity to perform in a public masterclass with Steven Isserlis at Wigmore Hall.
Coming from a musical family with a strong pedagogical tradition, I had the privilege to learn not only through my formal studies but also by observing my parents teach from an early age.
I have over seven years of teaching experience, and several of my students have successfully passed entrance exams for Italian conservatories (higher education) and won prizes in national youth competitions.

For anyone who wants to start playing the viola or who already has and wants to continue improving their musical skills. I can tailor the lessons to each student's needs, adapting to those who already have a regular teacher. The frequency of lessons can also be customized.
I have a very flexible schedule, and although I usually end up filling my agenda, I can organize myself around my classes.
Classes can be in English or Spanish.
