Violin Lesson in English with a Carnegie Hall musician! Beginners of all ages warmly welcomed!!

From 30 € /h

Hello, my name is Alex and I am a certified Violin teacher of 7 years. Additionally to my teaching passion, I have performed in Carnegie Hall, Chicago Orchestra Hall, Sydney Opera House, among others, with orchestras including Classical Symphony Orchestra, Paderewski Symphony Orchestra and Protege Philharmonic. I have performed with chamber groups including the Cras Trio and 20+ Modern Ensemble. I currently teach violin face-to-face in Bordeaux, France and Angouleme, France. I also work with students online who would like to recieve extra practice prior to orchestra auditions or competitions.

I have an active music company Violin Inc. that creates music opportunities and concerts for amateur musicians. It also provides educational lessons specifically for violin learning, using Suzuki and ABRSM methods with a mixture of American and European techniques.
* Learning violin online does cause extra obstacles, but I assure you it is possible with the right tools and patience.
My teaching methodology is created with a mixture of several music methods that suit each individual independently. We create the music method so that it suits your needs and helps you grow consistently.
I enjoy teaching classical music and classic-pop music. I believe in note reading as an essential part of violin training, so reading music and understanding simple theory is always included during lessons.

If it has been your dream to pick up the violin again or start from the beginning, I would be happy to help you on your journey. I am opened to your thoughts and ideas about what you would like to learn and your goals with the violin. Then, we will be able to form the best approach to violin lessons that will help you progress in a quick and enjoyable way!

Although the violin is an exceptionally challenging instrument to learn, with the right tools and materials, you will be able to learn this instrument in a fast-paced setting.

Extra information

All other materials will be provided by me. If you do not have a violin, no worries. We will be able to pick and choose the right instrument for you.
