Violin lessons with experienced pedagogue and performer

From 91.76 € /h

Learning music is an exciting journey. I have been discovering it for the past 20 years and now, as a teacher, I feel privileged to oversee the influence that musical skills can bring to others.

I believe a one-to-one teaching situation is could be an unusual setting for the student. I am sensitive to the pupils' needs and responsive to them. I do my best to create a comfortable atmosphere nurturing process of learning and creativity.

During my lessons, you will be gaining skills of violin technique as well as musical expression. Depending on the preferences of the student/parent we can also include general musicianship and music theory. The repertoire can be based on my suggestions as well as student musical taste.

About Me

My passion for pedagogy is something that has developed over time, and I have always been drawn to it. For the past years, I have taught a number of private violin students and held the position of music teacher at the international schools in the Cracow area.

Before that, I worked within The Strings Club Organisation, where I taught violin in small groups of beginners and run violin workshops for children participating in Music Holiday Camps. Whilst living in Great Britain I participated Sistema Youth Europe Orchestra teacher training, where I joined workshops with inspiring teacher artists from all over Europe. Since that time, I have made it a priority to seek opportunities where one can help students to be in tune with their sources of creativity, and I feel strongly that teaching an instrument is a perfect environment for this mission.

Apart from being a music educator, I am also an active performer. I have completed the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Violin Training Scheme, Orchestral Academy at the National Forum of Music, Poland, Britten-Pears Young Artist Program in the UK. Most recently, I have been regularly performing with orchestras such as a Polish Art Orchestra, Corda Cracovia, Europe Philharmonic Orchestra with Ezio Bosso. In Birmingham, I was a member of the Varzar quartet, which has received coaching from the UK leading chamber groups such as Kuss Quartet, Schubert Ensemble, Eblana Trio, Heath Quartet, Gildas Quartet.

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.

My name is Gianni, I'm a professional musician, currently living in Basel and doing my master's degree in double bass at the Musik Akademie Basel.
I've been playing and studying music since I was 7 years old; I started with classical guitar, then electric guitar and electric bass, then I started double bass and lately I'm learning saxophone.

I would say my main instruments are guitar and bass and I have been teaching these for 5 years to students of different levels and different aspirations.
For me it is very important to understand what the student wants and needs to guide him on the best path; I also try to always make the classes a fun learning environment.

I could teach at my school - the jazz camps, in Basel - or at the student's home.

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.

I am a piano teacher with over 30 years of experience, passionate about nurturing musical talent at every age and level. I have taught at esteemed institutions such as the Franz Schubert Conservatory in Vienna, and many of my students have gone on to succeed in auditions at top conservatories like the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover.

My students have also won national and international competitions including Premio Crescendo (Florence), Prima la Musica (Austria), the Grand Prize Virtuoso (Los Angeles, New York, Vienna, Berlin, Salzburg), and the Brno Mozart International Piano Competition.

Over the years, I have developed a unique and effective method for teaching young children, starting from age 3, all the way to university-level students and adult beginners. My approach focuses on developing a strong ear and making learning both joyful and fulfilling.

Outside of teaching, I love spending time outdoors with my dogs, reading, playing tennis, and enjoying time with my daughter.

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.

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.

Ciao, sono Gaia!
Sono una violinista professionista e un’insegnante appassionata.

Il mio corso è rivolto a violinisti motivati che desiderano crescere e progredire con il supporto di una guida, ma anche a principianti interessati a scoprire il mondo del violino.
Il mio approccio si basa sulla formazione di un forte senso musicale e su una metodologia chiara e articolata, volta a fornire una preparazione tecnica completa.
Tra le mie passioni vi sono la pedagogia e la psicologia, discipline che studio e approfondisco costantemente per diventare una figura il più completa possibile, in grado di aiutare bambini, ragazzi e adulti nel loro percorso di apprendimento musicale.

Durante la mia attività di insegnante, spesso mi tornano in mente concetti e insegnamenti appresi dai miei mentori durante gli anni di studio. Mi piace tradurre idee avanzate in forme semplici e digeribili per bambini e ragazzi, perché credo che ogni insegnante abbia la responsabilità di credere nel potenziale dei propri allievi e di mettersi in discussione per trovare il modo più efficace di rendere comprensibili anche i concetti più complessi. È proprio in questa fascia d’età che si cominciano a piantare i semi più importanti della crescita.

Credo profondamente che la musica sia un investimento personale e uno strumento di crescita a 360 gradi. Per questo motivo, nelle mie lezioni metto sempre al primo posto l’empatia, il rispetto reciproco e l’impegno. Sono convinta che un miglioramento duraturo sullo strumento possa avvenire solo su queste basi solide.
Mi tengo costantemente aggiornata, anche al di fuori dell’insegnamento strumentale, per offrire agli allievi un approccio consapevole del contesto storico e teorico di ogni composizione su cui lavoriamo.

Ho conseguito il Bachelor presso l’HMTMH di Hannover (con il massimo dei voti, 1.0 tedesco / 6.0 svizzero) e sto attualmente completando il Master Specialistico in Music Performance e il Master Specialistico in Musica da Camera presso la Musik Akademie Basel.
Ho maturato una ricca esperienza concertistica e cameristica, e sono stata tra i premiati dei concorsi internazionali Arthur Grumiaux, Città di Padova, Feast of Duos Sion, oltre a essere finalista del ROSL Chamber Music Competition di Londra. Con il mio ensemble Trio Venere, ho inoltre partecipato a una Masterclass aperta con Steven Isserlis alla Wigmore Hall.

Provenendo da una famiglia di musicisti con una forte tradizione pedagogica, ho avuto la fortuna di imparare non solo attraverso i miei studi, ma anche osservando i miei genitori insegnare.
Ho oltre sette anni di esperienza nell’insegnamento, e alcuni dei miei allievi hanno superato con successo gli esami di ammissione presso Conservatori italiani e ottenuto premi in concorsi nazionali giovanili.
