Professional violin player and teacher (Master of Arts and Musical pedagogy) offering violin and music theory lessons!

My goal is that you come out of the lessons feeling inspired and enriched by music and of course, trying to enjoy together. There is no need to have a minimum level for the lessons, whether you are a beginner or have an advanced level for violin-viola or Music theory, my lessons will be adapted to your needs and desires to get the best out of each student. Flexible lesson times, without stress and of course having fun and pleasure in music-making!

I believe it's important to look at the learning process holistically. I think you are the music itself. You bring all the wonderful and beautiful things about it with you. The guitar is the means of expression you've chosen, and WOW! It's definitely cool, and it's amazing that you're even taking this step and want to take it (more) seriously :)

So... simply learning scales and theory isn't my approach. (although there's no way around it haha)

Everything you experience and have experienced contributes to who you are and will become as a musician. It shapes your expression with and without a guitar, and above all, the way you learn.

So, of course, we look at the technique and playing styles, but just as importantly, we look at what aspects of mindset and personal development contribute to the musical development. A lot happens there :)

I would appreciate your trust.

Methodologically, we will work together to understand you and see how you prefer to learn and what you need to stay motivated and grow as a musician (and therefore as a person).

And if you don't know that yet, we'll find out together, slowly, step by step! :)

LET'S DO THIS! Woohoo!

Feel free to send me a message, no matter why!

All the best until then,

Hey, if you want to learn music and have fun at the same time, then this is the right course for you! As a qualified music theorist, I can offer you a wide variety of music theory courses, from reading and learning music notation for beginners to analysis for advanced students. As a student of music theory and composition pedagogy, I can help and guide you in composing your own music! I've also been playing the violin for 15 years and the piano for 7 years, and I'd be happy to give you lessons on both instruments and help you revisit basic music theory on both. I look forward to hearing from you :)

Dear students, if you want to learn to sing, play piano or you are interested in music theory, you are on the wright place. I have two master degrees - Pedagogy of music and solo singing. Now, I am on my third master degree of voice in Graz. I worked in Music school for two years and I had great results in my work with a students. Also, I love to work with an adults. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me.

For beginners (in every age group) to show the beauties of playing the cello, for advanced players - tips and tricks, equally useful practice methods, preparation for auditions, and for problems - finding common solutions.
Flexible lesson times.

Music theory - ear training and also musical composition.

Professor with a Higher Diploma in Piano from the Liceu Conservatory of Music in Barcelona and specializing in Spanish music from the Frank Marshall Academy (founded by Enrique Granados).

My curriculum is comprehensive and progressive. My teaching method focuses primarily on good sight-reading, combined with refined piano technique.

I also address learning difficulties such as postural problems, tension, and faulty touch.

My piano technique is based on the Enrique Granados school and his specific touch-based method, emphasizing sound and proper pedal use.

We will work on three basic sections: technique exercises, studies, and works from all styles (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc.).

We will also cover music theory (theory + daily exercises from the ABSRM method), solfège, choral singing, written ear training, score analysis, and concert listening exercises.

In addition to my in-person lessons, my online classes feature high-quality audio and video specifically designed for musicians: via the Zoom video call app (with settings that typically offer better sound for piano), and using OBS production software so you can clearly see the keyboard and hands from different angles.
Sound is captured with Behringer stereo microphones (piano) and a separate microphone for vocals, and multiple screens are used to combine sheet music, explanation, and real-time demonstration.

The goal is to make the online lesson as close as possible to an in-person class.

I have 30 years of experience as a teacher. Lessons are personalized to each student's needs, for all levels and ages (children and adults).

• I try to be creative in my lessons and it is important to me that the students are not physically or mentally tense when playing. I also teach basic theoretical knowledge that makes playing the piano easier and if the students have an inclination or interest in improvisation, I develop these skills as well.
• Since I have had many different students with many different needs, I can adapt the lessons to your individual needs.

🇬🇧 Hi! My name is Lampros and I am a student of the Kunstuniversität Graz.

My students vary from complete beginners to intermediate, but also up to an advanced level.
They also vary from young children to teenagers/young adults and middle aged people.

but also dive deep into Music Theory and Harmony if that is something of your interest.
I would be happy to guide you through different styles of music such as
Jazz, Rock/Pop/Metal, but also Eastern Folk Music (Balkans, Middle East etc).

Whether you're into jazz, musical theatre, pop, soul, rock, classical music, or just love to sing or play piano - I’m here to help you level up your skills!

I offer customized lessons in voice technique, piano, solfège (ear training), and music theory, along with simple yet effective techniques for accompanying yourself on piano while singing.

My goal is to help you improve your skills while also encouraging creativity and personal expression in music in a positive, supportive environment.

All skill levels welcome—whether you're a total beginner or looking to polish your skills. No stress, no pressure – just learning music in a way that works for you!

I find piano lessons very important because they stimulate our brains and develop our coordination. Playing the piano is also challenging, as you have to pay attention to many things and have a lot of patience. For me, teaching is a collaboration in which student and teacher achieve a common goal. With motivation, patience, and an individualized approach, I want to accompany my students on their musical journey.

Hello everybody!
I am Pijus, a musician with a great love for the classical guitar!
During my studies in Lithuania, Belgium, and Austria, as well as through master classes with renowned classical guitarists, I gained valuable knowledge and experience. These have helped me win 15 competitions and perform in numerous concerts in Lithuania, Belgium, and Austria. That's why I want to share everything I've learned with you, so you can discover the world of the classical guitar and fall in love with it!

In class, we will look together at how to work on a piece independently and play it by heart.
There are also practical exercises for technique and musicality – and a bit of music theory to help you better understand how the guitar and music work together.

Offering comprehensive, personalized instruction in violin, viola, and music theory for students of all ages and experience levels. Each lesson is tailored to support the individual learner—whether they are just beginning their musical journey or looking to advance their technical and artistic skills.

Instrumental lessons focus on building strong fundamentals, including posture, bowing technique, tone production, and expressive musicianship. Students explore a wide range of repertoire while developing confidence in reading music, practicing effectively, and performing with ease.

Music theory classes complement instrumental study by strengthening skills in rhythm, notation, scales, harmony, and ear training. These lessons help students understand the structure of music, improve sight-reading, and prepare for exams or ensemble auditions.

I am a multi-instrumentalist with many years of stage experience as a clarinetist and guitarist, choir director and trained elementary education teacher.
In our lessons, the focus is on the individual: We learn at your pace, oriented towards your goals, needs and musical interests.
It's important to me to explain complex concepts simply and to work with manageable, practical exercises. This way, we develop joy, confidence, and passion for music step by step – whether you're a beginner or an advanced player.
