Violin/Viola lessons for Beginners to Aspiring Musicians

Would you like to hone your skills on the violin/viola? Or maybe you'd like to practice your english while enjoying some music pieces? Perhaps you have an event you'd like to prepare a piece for, or show of your talent to your friends at your next social gathering. Maybe you'd like to have your group ensemble coached?

I am a professional violinist/violist that has worked with orchestras in the USA and Finland, played with professional ensembles, and won several competitions internationally. In my lessons, we'll focus on what you want to do with music - the world of music is your oyster. We'll explore, discuss, and overcome the spectrums of practice/performing/and music while simultaneously enjoying it!

Anna
Violin lessons for children and adults all levels
I give violin lessons (also viola) for children and adults. During the first lesson we will first get acquainted and I will explain about the posture and we will first make sound. It is important to first learn the basics well (rhythm, reading notes, posture and more), I always give nice songs and if students prefer to learn to play something that is always allowed. If the student can already play then we look together for the repertoire. It is also important to practice regularly, you don't have to do much, 10 minutes a day works fine as long as it is regular. I play more classical music myself, but I can of course also play modern well-known songs.
