I am a Greek violinist, originally from Thessaloniki. I have lived in Vienna since 2009 and completed my studies at the MUK Private University in the class of Lidia Baich. Before that, I studied at the Gnessin Institute in Moscow.

It's especially important to me to offer my students the opportunity to experience music and express themselves in this beautiful language during lessons. Since I myself come from the Russian school, the basic principles of the violin are combined with beautiful sound, expressiveness, and a musical character. And, of course, humor is a must!

Hello !

My name is Camille, I'm 26 years old and I grew up in France, where I completed my violin training with soloist Marie Cantagrill. I then obtained my Bachelor's degree at the University of Arts in Graz (Austria), and I also studied for a year at the Academy of Music in Krakow with Professor Wojciech Koprowski.

Currently, I am continuing my studies in violin pedagogy (IGP – instrumental and vocal pedagogy) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW).

Thanks to my experience with teachers from various countries, I have acquired a lot of knowledge in pedagogy, study techniques, musicality, etc., which I would love to share with you!

For me, it is essential to cultivate the pleasure of playing and to work on technique in the service of music.

Courses can be given in French, German or English, depending on your preferences.

I offer lessons at my home (equipped with an electric piano, music stand, etc.) or I can also travel to you, depending on the distance.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or additional information.

See you soon !

I am an Italian pianist with a degree from the F. Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, performances at home and abroad and international CD releases.
I offer piano accompaniment for instrumentalists and singers. The Italian version of the native language is, I can optimally support singers in the pronunciation of the Italian opera repertoire. In addition to my extensive experience accompanying singers, I have extensive chamber music experience, having performed in duos, trios and quintets and accompanying string players in auditions, competitions and master classes on many different occasions. The rehearsals can take place in English, French or Italian (basic knowledge of German).

Sharing my passion for music is at the heart of what I do. My teaching emphasizes proper technique, expressive playing, historical awareness (especially for baroque violin), and creative exploration—whether discovering unknown works or preparing for exams and auditions. I adapt fully to online formats, using video tools for clear demonstrations, screen sharing for scores, and focused feedback to ensure progress from anywhere.
I'm committed to making lessons enjoyable, supportive, and motivating, helping each student find their own voice on the instrument.
I have extensive experience giving violin masterclasses in Austria, Poland, Slovakia, and Mexico, and I served as artistic director for educational concert series in Eastern Poland (2009–2018). Since 2022, I have been on the stringed instruments faculty at the Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica (Slovakia).
If you're ready to start or advance your violin journey, I look forward to working with you online!
Feel free to contact me with any questions—let's make music together!

Hi, my name is Atsu and I'd love to pass on my knowledge, my experiences and my passion to you! I started playing the violin when I was three and up until now I've studied with Fuminori Shinozaki and Simon Wiener, amongst others.

I gladly offer my assistance to you, so that you can achieve your goals efficiently. Here, it's important for me to discover your strengths together and help you develop them further. Of course, I will make sure that you have fun and you stay motivated:) Probably what's special about my lesson is that we're also going to play duets, which should help you learn to listen to other musicians and acquire the skills needed for playing in an ensemble.

In the long run: it's not just about learning the rules and correct techniques; it is also vital that you eventually learn to interpret the music on your own personal way by using your (musical) intelligence, and to have the confidence to break traditional norms. It is through the hands of artists who dare to experiment that music (like all art forms) becomes alive.

Your (or your child's) age doesn't matter that much; it's never too late to start learning! I will adapt the teaching methods individually.

As a student at the renowned MUK University in Vienna, it is my dream to share my passion through teaching. I offer lessons for all ages and skill levels, with a focus on progress and motivation. I speak English, German (B1 level), and some Slavic languages!

With my international performing and academic experience, I aim to help students build strong technical foundations, develop musical expression, and gain confidence in performance. Lessons can also focus on exam preparation, audition repertoire, chamber music coaching, and concert programs.

Each lesson is individually tailored to the student’s goals, level, and learning style.
