Violin Lessons for Beginners to Hi-Pros, Fun Detailed and Integrative instrumental lessons.

From 58 € /h

Beginner - Expert Violin! All ages and levels are welcome.

I will improve your passagework, intonation, vibrato, sliding, presence, and solidity. I can also encourage musical intuition and imagination for creative students and teach them how to be independent thinkers to achieve awesome musicianship.

In my first two years of violin training, I had the opportunity to study the Suzuki method while becoming accustomed to a more traditional style and am therefore versatile and flexible with student's abilities.

I have performed as a classical soloist, in chamber groups, and with a full orchestra. Additionally, I have experience in modern popular music and help my students understand the importance of both mental preparation and knowledge on comfortability during their practice time and their performance time.

Extra information

I would be able to send online material so the student can practice through these either before, during or after the lessons.

About Me

Hello dear learners!

My name is Elizabeth and I am currently making my Master's degree in Violin and Chamber Music at the Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna, Austria. I started my musical endeavors at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and continued with top vienna professor, Boris Kuschnir.

February 2023, I have debuted as a soloist with the Vivaldi Four Seasons Concertos as well as participated in the orchestral activities (once as the concertmaster) with the Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra as well as had professional orchestral experience with the Vorarlberg Orchestra in Austria, Europe.

I play and teach both Violin and Piano and have more than 8 years of teaching experience in locations such as Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia (online) and currently USA.

I strongly believe in mind and body wellness as well as living a healthy lifestyle. I started learning Yoga from the age of 14 parallel to my intense musical studies and continued practicing throughout college years. I am in the process of completing a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification program and continue practicing and tutoring!

Most importantly, have fun in your journey and fire up your passion with dedication!

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!

I have been teaching classes for all ages for many years. Depending on this, as well as the level of play, I adapt to different teaching methods. We are all unique and different people require different approaches. But what is most important to me is that every student loves music more and progresses with this class.
On the accordion you can play a wide variety of music genres: classical, jazz, dances such as tango and waltz and others, and everything sounds interesting and special.

If you are interested and interested, get in touch! I would be very happy! :)

I offer piano lessons for adults and children, tailored to your goals and preferences. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes. Lessons are conducted in English, German and Russian. I teach piano at home in Vienna’s 3rd district and online on a beautiful Yamaha piano.

I have a full class of 13 students. Each semester, I organize a recital. If they wish, even my online students can take part through a live stream :)

I am an award-winning pianist in international competitions, a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky (BA), and currently a student at the Anton Bruckner University in Austria (MA).

I have developed my own teaching methodology, which varies depending on the student's age, skill level, and preferences. With extensive teaching experience for both adults and children, I have completed pedagogical practice and a piano teaching methodology course at the Moscow Conservatory. I teach beginners from scratch, prepare school students for exams, competitions, concerts, and entrance exams. Additionally, I teach solfeggio, music theory, ear training, rhythm development, hand positioning, and stage performance skills. I work on both classical repertoire and any pieces the student desires. I create custom arrangements for my students, including simplified versions of difficult pieces.

My online setup makes the lessons feel just like in-person: I use a tripod to demonstrate my hands and provide an online screen display for sheet music. After each lesson, I send video tutorials for clear, visual examples.

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.

I offer individual violin lessons for beginners, advanced players and music students.

My particular focus is on Baroque music and historically informed performance practice. For the past three years, I have been intensively studying the Baroque violin and the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. In my teaching, I convey not only technical fundamentals but also stylistic understanding, phrasing, articulation, and the characteristic sound of Baroque music.

In addition, I naturally also teach the classical violin repertoire. Lessons cover playing technique, bowing, intonation, vibrato, scales, musical expression, and efficient practice.

I'm happy to support you with entrance exams, competitions, orchestra auditions, or when learning new pieces. Each lesson is individually tailored to your goals and skill level.

I am studying violin at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw).
