Learn how to play the violin and read music step-bystep!

I use a step-by-step teaching approach based on The Suzuki Method, personalised and designed for each student, focusing on individual strengths and talents.

My lessons incorporate music theory so that a deeper understanding of music can be met. This incorporation keeps the necessary theoretical component of music fun, interesting and alive.

Students receive structural practice material, as well as their own favourite music to practice and master with my help and guidance.

Teacher-Student duets are a fantastic and fun way to gain the skills needed to play with other musicians (Ensembles, Orchestra, Bands, etc.)

I aim to empower the student to be their own best teacher whilst integrating discipline with proven practice techniques necessary for a solid foundation in violin playing.

Extra information

If you don't already own a violin, I can advise you on size, type, renting or purchasing.

About Me

I am a young, vibrant violin teacher who prides myself on giving students the confidence to be the best they can be. I love interacting with my students and initiating interaction between each student as I believe they learn best from each other and from making music together, hearing each other and being part of a bigger whole. Music is about having fun and being inspired, nothing inspires me more than knowing I have inspired my students each day!

Education

2006 - 2009 Bachelor of Music Degree at The University of Pretoria (South Africa).
Studied with renowned violin teachers and performers.
Numerous Masterclasses with renowned violinists

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching violin since 2008 to beginners and intermediate players of all ages. I began my own music studio in 2010 in South Africa which included various instruments, theory of music lessons (Group and Private classes) and ensemble classes. I put together concerts at the end of each year for the students to show off their talents and progression. More advances students performed in various other concerts, competitions and external exams throughout the year.

Reviews (1)

My experience with Carla is fantastic. When I first talk to her, I got the feeling, confirmed at my first lesson, that she is genuinely passionate about music and teaching. I cannot refrain myself from referring her to other students.

Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!
The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages. Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable. Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?
