Violin and Viola lessons for beginner - advanced players

Àpd 60 € /h

I offer in person and online lessons in violin and viola. I am based in Neukölln, Berlin.

I have taught violin and viola in the UK for leading national organisations including Opera North, In harmony and Orchestras for All. I have over 10 years of private and school based teaching experience and have taught students from aged 4 to adults. I also ran an outreach music and arts project in the UK delivering music and art workshops in schools and art galleries as well as online, the project was recognised with two national awards from Deutsche Bank and UnLtd. I have led and conducted school string ensembles and set up beginner string programs for Harrogate Music School, Cardiff Young Strings and The Strings Club, Birmingham.

My teaching style incorporates aspects of Dalcroze and Kodaly methodology as well as improvisation and collaborative composition. I develop a bespoke approach alongside each student to ensure they are able to get the most out of their lessons and make lessons enjoyable. My lessons focus on developing technique and skills required to play music the student has chosen and I incorporate play and games into lessons to enable the most effective learning. I work mostly in classical, improvisation and new music contexts but can provide lessons in all genres.

Lessons are in English. Regular, irregular and one-off lessons are possible. I teach from beginner-advanced.

Présentation

I am passionate about music education and providing fun and rewarding lessons for my students. I am always keen to help students learn to play pieces/song which they choose and I aim to create bespoke lessons designed to help each student achieve their goals.

As a performer I have worked in classical music performing with quartets, orchestras and recording for television and film. In Berlin I have performed with Ensemble United, class-work, Borage and premiered newly composed works for solo viola and viola/cello duo.

I also perform regularly as an improvising musician and I enjoy bring improvisation into my teaching to help build skills and techniques in a creative and interesting way.

Education

I began music lessons at the age of 8 and went on to study as an undergraduate at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with Rose Redgrave I graduated in 2014 and then went on to complete my Masters at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Whilst studying I performed in Masterclasses with Lawrence Power, Garth Knox, Thomas Riebl, Robin Ireland, Emerson Quartet among others. I was also selected for both the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Welsh National Opera placement schemes. Upon graduation from my masters I was awarded the Reverend Paul Bigmore Award for Outreach and The Deutsche Bank Award for Creative Enterprise 2017.

I'm a french professional violinist established in Berlin, I'm currently member of the academy of the Radio Orchestra in Berlin and graduated from the Universität der Künste Berlin, Hight school of Music Geneva and Lyon

I give violin lessons at home, for students of all levels and ages.
I constantly adapt my teaching according to the expectations and objectives of the student, so the technical work that allows to acquire a better ease with the instrument will always be directed towards a musical research and the pleasure of playing music
I can also give some basics of music theory, included in a violin class. These courses can be part of the schema of a regular apprenticeship or of one-off sessions (preparation of an exam, support in the personal work of a pupil of a musical institution ...)

I consider teaching to be an essential aspect of a musician's life, in order to pass on one's knowledge and passion with pleasure. This is very enriching for both the student and the teacher, and it has allowed me to reflect on myself and to learn from it about questions of instrumental technique

Playing the guitar for more than 10 years, I offer personalized lessons for beginners but also for intermediate musicians seeking an introduction to jazz.
I usually encourage interactions with my students by quickly putting into practice what I teach them in the form of a "jam session".

Even if you are a total beginner looking to enter the magical world of music or if you want to improve your violin technique and develop your artistic potential, let's achieve your goals together, always with a smile, making this experience a joyful, vibrant and stimulating one. My teaching style is a mix of the Russian violin school and a fresh modern musical pedagogy approach.
Individual lessons plan for each student, according to your specific level, goals, and expectations.

Studying the violin can have interesting side-effects of personal development and usually helps to:
1. Establish a deeper relationship with music: being "in music"
2. Become more curious and competitive users: expanding an aesthetic sensitivity, widening the field of one's musical interests, refining the artistic taste
3. Express oneself (identity, relationship with one's emotions, self-narration)
4. Consolidate self-esteem by experiencing your limits
5. Build self-discipline, developing self-organization skills and a sense of responsibility
6. Learn to respect collective rules, integrate and collaborate with others in harmony, like in an orchestra.
7. Develop attention and concentration activities
8. Compose experiences of integration between mind and body, between affectivity, logic, and sensoriality
9. Refine perceptual and psychomotor skills (coordination, proprioception, body observation)
10. Develop analytical and cognitive skills
11. Develop expressive and creative attitudes

The lessons are practice-oriented and offer a mix of technique, music theory and lots of practical exercises on the instrument.

Typical lesson flow:
