Violin lessons from an advanced soloist and tutor
I'm a concert violinist with a deep passion for teaching. My musical journey began at the Special Music School in St. Petersburg (Russia), continued at the Royal College of Music in London, and brought me to the Haute école de musique de Genève — experiences that shaped me both as a performer and as a tutor. I’ve worked with students of all ages and levels, from young beginners to aspiring professionals. Whether you're preparing for a major audition or simply want to explore music for the joy of it, I tailor each lesson to you — your needs and your pace. For me, music is never just about notes or technique. It's about meaning, imagination, and emotional depth. I strive to help each student find their own voice through the violin, developing not only solid skills but also a true artistic identity.

Valentina
Italian, french, spanish and english for beginners and intermediate
Sono una ragazza 18enne che frequenta il liceo linguistico, e sono lingua madre italiana e spagnola. Ho sempre avuto una grande facilità nelle lingue, conseguendo ottimi risultati anche in quelle che non sono la mia prima lingua, come il francese e l’inglese. Aiutare i ragazzi e le ragazze è una mia grande aspirazione ed essendo anch’io un’adolescente, penso di essere in grado di spiegar loro le cose in una maniera più interattiva e non così frontale e monotona.

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.

Jamie Lee
Private guitar and bass lessons, musical initiation and accompaniment/coaching for musical projects
The program of my lessons can be agreed and structured with you from the 1st lesson but it is quite possible to have a much more spontaneous approach according to your objectives. I can teach you essential music theory basics in the form of different practical exercises - Introduce you to different techniques related to your instrument or help you improve them according to your difficulties - Guide you in learning pieces of different styles (Pop, Rock, Metal, Funk, Reggae...) And more. I also offer my services for coaching in launching musical projects. Who am I ? Growing up in a musical family, I started music with the classical piano at the age of 6 and played it for 10 years. It was at the age of 13 that I discovered the bass and decided to delve deeper into the subject by starting private lessons and this instrument has never left me since. In the meantime, I also took guitar lessons in parallel for two years and continued as an autodidact. I joined various Rock and Metal bands during my adolescence and decided to join the Neuchâtel Conservatory of Music in the jazz bass section at the age of 16 and studied there for 3 years. It was in 2019 that I had the chance and the opportunity to join the professional band Triumph Of Death (Hellhammer performed by Tom G. Warrior's Triumph Of Death) which performs internationally. Currently, I still play in this group as well as in two other musical groups. In 2020, the desire to teach music by giving private lessons was born and so I began this activity in Switzerland, to continue it in Belgium two years later. Being back in Switzerland in 2024 permanently, I wish to resume private lessons in person in the canton of Jura, as well as online* for students living outside the canton. *Online lessons take place on Google Teams and I already have several students living abroad. For more information, do not hesitate to contact me on this platform and I will be happy to answer you!
