Violin lessons with concertmaster of London Philharmonic Orchestra

I am 3rd Concertmaster of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and have an extensive performing and teaching experience. I have been guest concertmaster of many European orchestras and have recently relocated to Geneva. All levels of playing are welcome, but I can be particularly helpful with more advanced students. My experience in some of the world's best orchestra especially enables me to provide help with audition preparation, orchestral excerpts, and concertmaster solos. I look forward to hearing from you!

About Me

I would like to help students improve their technique and their understanding of the musical material. Having studied both in my native Bulgaria and in the United States (at The Juilliard School), I have experience with teaching methods from both sides of the Atlantic. As a result of my extensive professional experience as an orchestral musician and concertmaster, I could be particularly helpful with orchestral repertoire, excerpts and solos, especially in preparation for auditions. Most importantly, I like to make lessons both educational and enjoyable, so that we can work towards achieving your full potential, while having fun with the violin!

Education

The Juilliard School, New York, Bachelor of Music (1999) and Master of Music (2001), student of Stephen Clapp and Robert Mann, Idyllwild Arts Academy (1992-1995)

Experience / Qualifications

I have been 3rd concertmaster of the London Philharmonic Orchestra since 2007, and perform as guest concertmaster with numerous orchestras around Europe, such as the Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper - Berlin, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia - Rome, Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, RSB - Berlin, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and many others. I have extensive chamber music experience, and also a special interest in new music and different genres - jazz, rock, world music.

Martha
Violin, viola, music theory lessons in Geneva and its surroundings / Français - English
Hello ! Violinist and currently a student at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, I offer lessons in violin, viola, musical awakening or music theory for all levels and all ages, but also preparation courses for the baccalaureate option music . I also offer support lessons for students who are already studying in a conservatory. Very interested in pedagogy for a long time, I have already taught private lessons in Paris and Versailles, but also at the conservatory of Dreux in France, where I had the pleasure of being a violin teacher and accompanying my students. in their musical journey. Passionate about music since childhood, I am interested in different styles; so-called “classical” music, due to my training, but also jazz, Klezmer music and music from the East, due to my origins. From a pedagogical point of view, I know how to adapt to everyone, and the method I propose to learn is centered around the pleasure of playing, while ensuring that I provide my students with a stable knowledge base, theory, practice and musical culture. Hope to meet you, Martha

Célia
Violin lessons for all Fr / Ang (solfeggio included).
As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship. As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years. Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument! I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra. In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)
