Violin for Everyone - Learn to play the most beautiful instrument in the world!

Von 111.98 $ /Std

Hello there, and welcome!

Regularly rated 5 STARS on Google Page and a creator of a well-loved community of learner violinists, my name is Cheryl, and I offer highly unique and very enjoyable lessons to anyone who wants to challenge themselves with the violin. Do not be fooled - it's a tough instrument to play well! With my guidance and a special interest in postural health, you will quickly learn the basics with some regular effort. I especially encourage students to meet with other students in order to get to know each other on a human level.

An alum of the ABRSM, Suzuki, American and European conservatory systems (Masters with Magna cum Laude), and relentlessly studying to become better and better every week, I filter through 'The Book' to find the most effective and efficient way for the individual learner. We will find out what sounds appeal to you, and teach your unique 'voice' to come out.

With a little technique and a LOT of good taste, there's no knowing where your violin can take you! Come yourself, or with a friend or even with your child, and explore the infinite depths of real music-making! (Pssst: It's never really what we expect in the beginning!)

Lessons can be carried out in English, Italian, French :) Just shoot me a message and we'll decide on the details together! Looking forward to finally meeting you in person.

No need to buy an instrument until you're ready - I'll point you in the right direction while you decide!

Über mich

Enthusiastic, rigorous, observant, and having had a history of tendinitis due to over-practising in the past, I am highly alert to tensions and finding the way to optimal performance.

At the same time, it is a strong belief of mine that Music (capital-M!) is a great teacher to all of us. In order to make a decent sound on the violin, dozens of decisions have to be made, sometimes in the split-second. By welcoming the violin into our lives, we welcome the highly personalised tools of problem-solving, spatial awareness and precise physical coordination, all the while enjoying the fruits of the masters that came before us.

Krav Maga: Modern Art
It all starts with a choice:
Refuse violence, refuse to be dominated by violence and even the fear of violence, be it verbal, emotional and especially physical. One of the means to achieve this goal: the art of Krav Maga

Created in the late 1960s in Israel by Master Imi Lichtenfeld (1910-1998), Krav Maga was designed and forged especially to respond to any form of physical aggression. The basis on which Krav Maga is based is REALITY: it is unpredictable, multiform, brutal and forgives only very few errors.

From this observation, it is easier to understand the characteristics of Krav Maga and especially what distinguishes it from traditional martial arts that also offer a module "self-defense".
Krav Maga is indeed:

-ambitious: he aspires to treat any situation of physical aggression be it against a aggressor without weapon, with weapon (knife, ax, machete, long stick, short, bat of baseball, rope, gun ... ), from any position (standing in the front, back, left, right, sitting on a chair, sitting on the floor, kneeling, lying on the back ...), regardless of the nature of the terrain, regardless of the brightness, whatever the weather.

Humility: Reality imposes its conditions as the presence of STRESS whose effects must be recognized and never be neglected.

-realistic: the fear, the nervousness, the anxiety felt by the individual in a situation of aggression do not allow him complicated gestures that he can not remember and that he can not even perform physically!

-simple: short gestures, direct, linear most often, that go "straight to the point", easy to learn, easy to remember, easy to perform under ... stress!

-Logic: it is the Principles that make Krav Maga and not the techniques that are only tools in the service of an Art that analyzes, reflects and provides the most accurate and efficient answer to the problem.

-polyvalent: thanks to logic and pragmatism, Krav Maga gives itself the potential to resolve in a decisive way an incalculable number of problems because it can go towards "the unknown" by means of "known".

-Educator: Through a pedagogy based on the pressure of the student, it gradually learns to manage his emotions, his mind, his body and gradually acquires greater self-control.

-human: according to Imi Lichtenfeld's teaching, one must demand of oneself the highest level of competence so as not to have to take a life or even to hurt - as far as possible - his or her aggressors.

I try to pass on the philosophy of the creator of Krav Maga, Master Imi Lichtenfeld, who saw his art as much more than a "defensive weapon" formidable for its efficiency. Indeed, Krav Maga is before a whole a vehicle to reach the blooming of the individual by the control of oneself thanks to the conscience of having adapted tools - because realistic - to manage and even to neutralize the violence under all its forms.

The Art created by Imi Lichtenfeld is, as the experience of teaching proves, very flexible and endowed with a very great faculty of adaptation because each student shows different expectations. The greatest satisfaction is to see how the individual reveals himself to himself through Krav Maga which, by its simplicity and intensity, allows everyone, with sincere practice, to get to the bottom of his doubts and his doubts. fears.

In a particular class, I am an instructor who asks the student of the intensity and physical and mental, curiosity, sense of observation, the spirit of synthesis, the ability to constantly search for the "common denominator In their practice of Krav Maga and ... good mood!

My lessons adapt to everyone's expectations and pace. It is characteristic of private lessons that can really be as close as possible to the students, without the pressure linked to institutions such as music schools.
When possible, students can play in groups, sometimes I even organize a small orchestra with all those who are interested. Two hearings on average per year allow you to meet and give a purpose to the work.

You are the most important person in the world, but are you aware of this? In this hectic and uncertain time, we need to focus more, take care of our physical health and also our mental health. Trauma, anxiety attacks, doubts, mental restlessness, problematic sleep and any other manifestation of discomfort and stress in life is emerging more frequently in many people at this time. We need to be accompanied professionally from time to time, to fill his batteries, to relax deeply. The practice of Yoga is a gentle invitation to meet oneself with a very special quality of listening. Take care of the body, gentle or dynamic movements that correspond to your needs. Relearn to breathe fully, oxygenate your body, feel better in your body and in your head. Deep relaxation and relaxation of our whole Being, It just feels good, it's a bit like coming home. Looking forward to meeting you to share a bit of the journey together.

Sporting is one of the best ways to forge a steel mind.
This requires intense work, done regularly and assiduously. We will work so that you become the best version of yourself.

I will base my work on the skills of each and its goals so that everyone can feel comfortable in their bodies and in their minds.
The sessions will be adapted to your physical skills so that you can improve over the long term, we will always focus on the quality of work in the face of the amount that is not always synonymous with good work.

Music for all ages and all tastes,
I offer fun, individual or group musical awakening lessons as well as violin, viola and viola da gamba lessons. (The latter is a bit exotic and discovery sessions are possible for lovers of early music as well as for the curious)
Each student has their ambitions and desires, so it is important to tailor-made education with personalized objectives.
Graduated from the Haute Ecole de Musique in Geneva, the Royal Academy of Music in London as well as the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, I perfected both ancient and modern music. I have been fortunate enough to be able to live in the UK for several years, which results in an excellent knowledge of the ABRSM structure in which 100% of the exams presented by my students have been passed.
