Violin Lessons & Active Listening – A Unique Approach
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Learn the violin by developing not only your instrumental technique, but also your deep listening skills through audio-psycho-phonology.Why this approach?
✅ Learning adapted to your ear – By understanding how your listening influences your pitch, musicality and expressiveness, you will progress more naturally.
✅ Better perception of sounds – Using the principles of the Tomatis method, we will work on your ability to hear the nuances, harmonics and sound balances essential to playing the violin.
✅ Smoother, more instinctive play – By optimizing the connection between ear and gesture, you will gain in precision, comfort and playing pleasure.
✅ Work on active listening – Developing a more refined ear allows for better musical memorization and greater ease in interpretation.
Whether you are a beginner or advanced, this approach will allow you to progress in a more intuitive and natural way.
Book your first lesson and discover how better listening transforms your playing!

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a happy and fulfilled musician.Falling in love with the violin at the age of 3 I was lucky to know very early what I wanted to do later.
It is therefore quite natural that I began studying classical violin (and then piano and lyric singing) until I obtained the Diploma of Teaching Violin (stream I) at the "Conservatoire Supérieur and Académie de Musique Tibor Varga ".
I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to model many of the leading international artists who have inspired me with a taste for excellence, effort, patience and a great musical openness and great want to learn more and more.
The meeting with the famous Hungarian violinist Tibor Varga was for me the trigger of my professional musical artistic life and certainly the greatest influence of my career as a musician.
This constant quest for freedom of expression has led me to explore many musical styles and seek to unlock their secrets. I embarked on artistic challenges and surprising collaborations in order to test and explore all the possibilities linked to my favorite instrument the violin and its electric and MIDI variants. Above all I have explored up and down the pleasure of improvising, the stage and the contact with the public.

Jonathan is an absolutely fantastic teacher who I can only recommend! Very friendly and attentive to his students, he adapts according to our needs, our desires, our strengths and our vulnerabilities. He has the gift of making music theory exciting, whereas with me it was not a foregone conclusion! He knows how to combine theory and practice, allowing his students to master their piano very quickly, whether to learn pieces, compose music/melodies or simply improvise. I only took 5 lessons initially but am sure I will continue my lessons with Jonathan for as long as I need! We can only praise Jonathan as a teacher given the excellence that characterizes him, but also as a person because his kindness, humility and benevolence are great. Thank you to him for everything he has passed on to me and continues to pass on to me!

Professional Violin Lessons for Beginners and Intermediates: Technical, Theoretical and Expressive Development, with a Personalized ApproachThis violin course is designed for beginners and intermediate students, and aims to develop the essential technical and musical skills for playing smoothly and expressively. The program includes learning the fundamentals of violin playing, such as correct posture, grip, and producing a clear tone. You'll work on scales and arpeggios to develop your dexterity, as well as bowing techniques to master different stroke patterns. Sheet music reading, musical analysis, and music theory practice are integrated into the course to strengthen your theoretical knowledge and music-reading skills. Alongside this, you'll explore a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical works to more contemporary pieces, and will have the opportunity to work in a group to improve your listening and coordination with other musicians. The course also includes personalized guidance to structure your practice and prepare you for performances, with an emphasis on musical expression and managing stage fright. My approach aims to make each student independent and to encourage their musical development in a caring and motivating environment.

Viola and Violin Lessons: Technique, Improv, and a Healthy Relationship with your InstrumentThis course is for viola and violin students from the beginner through the high school level, and any age from 5-99! My goal is for my students to foster a healthy and long-term relationship with their instrument. The course focuses on practicing and truly understanding technique, with an emphasis on listening. Weekly assignments tend to include technical exercises, scales, and classical pieces of the student's choice. Basic improvisation is also an interest of mine and, I find, a valuable experience for my string students.
I believe repertoire is largely a matter of student taste. Students of mine have learned pieces in the Suzuki books and other classical repertoire volumes, but have also learned pop and fiddle songs according to their interest.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Violin Performance from the University of Puget Sound, where I graduated in 2015 before moving to Vienna to study privately for three years. I am currently on hiatus from a Master of Viola Performance degree at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague . I have been teaching violin intermittently since 2009.
While my musical education is classical, my performance interests are much wider. I have performed jazz and pop improv, and am currently exploring how hip hop can be implemented on the viola and violin.
