I offer violin lessons to students of all ages. My approach is based off the Vivaldi Method combined with elements of the Suzuki. I have taught violin students for the past four years in the United States with the Vivaldi Method developed by violin pedagogue Ida Bieler. I have taught pre-school (age 4-5), middle and high school students (age 11-18), and also adults. I accept students of all ages and my approach is based off the Vivaldi Method combined with elements of the Suzuki. I work with students step-by-step on technique and music together in order to build a natural and aware way of playing that is suited to the individual’s anatomy and joy of playing the violin.

Je suis professeur de violon pour tous les âges et tous les niveaux. Je travaille avec chaque élève afin de déterminer la meilleure façon de développer ses capacités musicales et techniques. Ma philosophie pédagogique vise d'abord à développer la voix et l'oreille musicale de l'élève. L'apprentissage de la technique se fera alors naturellement, sans imposer à l'élève une approche rigide. D'excellentes bases techniques seront acquises à partir de l'exploration des œuvres musicales qui intéressent chaque élève. En mettant l'accent sur l'expérimentation et la créativité, je cherche à aider mes élèves à devenir leur meilleur enseignant. Avec plus de 10 ans d’expérience dans l’enseignement, je suis toujours enthousiaste à vous aider à : Prendre un bon départ dans la pratique du violon Préparer à une audition ou à un examen Découvrir les joies de la musique Je me réjouis de vous aider à atteindre vos objectifs avec le violon !

Hallo, my name is Chloe Slane, and I am currently finishing my degree in college right now studying abroad in Berlin. I have played the viola since I was 8 years old, and started on the violin at 6. I am currently getting both a music degree in Viola Performance and a Philosophy degree, in a 5-year Double Major Program through a school in New York. I will be in Berlin for the whole school year & most of the summer, so if you are interested and cheap & easy lessons for your kids to learn some more, I am happy to help out! I am an advanced level, have been playing for about 12-13 years, and it has become one of my main professions in life, so it is very much a skill of mine. Although I am young, I love helping and teaching kids as well, as it sparks interest in many!

This class introduces students to the fundamentals of playing the viola and violin in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. Students will learn how to properly hold and care for the instrument, develop basic bowing techniques, and begin reading simple music notation. Through guided exercises, rhythm practice, and easy melodies, participants will build foundational skills in tone production, posture, and musical expression. The class also emphasizes listening skills, ensemble awareness, and confidence while playing with others. No prior musical experience is required. By the end of the course, students will be able to play simple pieces and have a strong foundation for continuing their viola/violin studies.
