María - Madrid, Spain23€

23€Music, violin, viola and musical language classes

Trusted teacher: I can teach viola classes at all levels, and violin to students up to the sixth of Professional Grade. I can also teach music theory at all levels and support the study of other subjects taught at the conservatory, such as music history, analysis, orchestra, chamber music, etc. I believe that the teacher must be able to adapt a lot to the student, and especially in music I find it very important to understand the sensitivity and difficulties of each student. I consider myself a demanding person, but very empathetic and patient. It is very important to me, apart from all the factors that affect the performance, to emphasize the care of the posture and the tensions of the body to avoid injuries that can be caused by playing the viola or the violin.

Trusted teacher: Approach to Teaching – I favour a structured approach. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. – Violin lessons tend to be carefully planned to focus on specific technical aspects of performance.

Leon - Helsinki, Finland46€

46€Violin/Viola/Music Theory lessons with a professional violinist

Trusted teacher: Leon graduated from the University of Cambridge, where he read Academic Music. He studied violin and viola with Lutsia Ibragimova, David Dolan and Alexander Tumanov at the Yehudi Menuhin School, a specialist music school in the UK, and was concertmaster of the Cambridge University Orchestra. Recent projects include Tippett's 'A Child of Our Time' with Martyn Brabbins and Poulenc's 'Sinfonietta' with Jac van Steen. He now lives and works as a freelance violinist and music teacher in Helsinki. Leon is passionate about teaching violin/viola/music theory and is committed to a lifelong study of music and music pedagogy so he can share his knowledge with others. In his final years at school, he taught violin to beginners at a local primary school and, after graduating, more experienced 8-13-year-olds at a summer music camp. He has had two years' private teaching experience from a base in Cambridge. In addition, Leon has gained invaluable teaching experience from extensive informal tuition of advanced learners (conservatoire degree-level). The format of your lesson with Leon is not set in stone! He believes that a flexible teaching style is essential to cater effectively for different abilities: reaching one's own milestones always takes priority. If you are a beginner looking to play some of your favourite songs, for instance, the most effective strategy may be to learn the 'tricks' of the trade, or essentials only. However, if you are looking to develop a solid basis for more virtuosic playing, Leon's 'Russian-style' violin school background is ideally suited for rigorous instrumental training. For non-beginners, Leon is also able to offer advanced teaching: this includes help with musical interpretation, the pinpointing of technical issues and anything in-between. If in doubt, please enquire. Leon teaches music theory online. He is happy teach up to degree level in this field. Please drop him a message if you are interested!

Joshua - Zwolle, Netherlands52€

52€Violin/viola for amateurs of all ages to young conservatory candidates

Trusted teacher: I'm a violist and music teacher, and my journey with the viola began by chance. Before I picked up the instrument, I didn't even know it existed. I started relatively late, at fourteen, compared to my peers, and therefore I understand well the challenges that come with starting an instrument later in life. Yet, from the very first moment, the viola felt like my instrument, and it has been my great passion ever since. Although my main subject is viola, I also teach violin based on my methodology training at the ArtEZ Conservatory. My portfolio includes repertoire and teaching materials for violin, allowing me to effectively guide students on both instruments. I teach students of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced amateurs, and I focus not only on technique and interpretation but also on the feeling and experience of music. I guide my students in connecting body, emotion, and sound, helping them to unleash the music that already resides within them. My lessons are designed to develop confidence, self-expression, and a joy in playing, whether they're exploring the viola or the violin.

Tuition in Violin/Viola Performance, Musicianship, Music Theory, and Music History (Barnsbury)

Daniel

My first lesson with Daniel was just what I wanted and more. Daniel made me feel very comfortable and let me play some music I had been working on. Then Daniel looked at all aspects of my playing in a thorough manner and signposted plans for future lessons. I was really wanting my technique to be reviewed thoroughly and Daniel did exactly this, in a very supportive and encouraging manner. It was incredible to hear the change to my playing Daniel helped me make within the hour. Looking forward to the next lesson! Many thanks!
