    Violin and Music Theory lessons from a qualified, native English speaking teacher

    I have been playing the violin for 20 years and am a fully qualified classroom music teacher in the UK. With my strong pedagogical background and understanding of what makes a good music lesson, I come not just with my knowledge and skills as a musician but also my knowledge and skills as a teacher.

    I have experience of teaching the ABRSM syllabus and Trinity College London Classical syllabus, and am able to support you in preparing for graded exams or simply learning for fun! Each lesson will incorporate music theory, technical knowledge and performance skills in an engaging and relaxed environment. We can focus on exam pieces if a graded exam is your goal, or we can choose pieces from any genre that takes your interest to build up your technical and performance skills. I love taking suggestions from my students and these are always welcome!

    I am able to offer music theory lessons in addition to violin lessons. This will be based on the ABRSM syllabus up to grade 5 level, and I can also support students in preparing for these exams.

    I look forward to being your music teacher and learning together!

    Extra information

    All students must bring their own violin. I am happy to assist with obtaining one if needed.

    About Me

    I am originally from Ireland, but have lived in Edinburgh, London and now Munich with my German fiancé. I am a fully qualified high school level music teacher in the UK and am excited to continue my career as a music educator in Munich.

    My main focus as a teacher is providing strong technical knowledge combined with experience and enjoyment of performing to support you as a whole musician and not simply as a violin player. My lessons are always fun and relaxed, and I especially enjoy working with children in their first steps towards becoming a musician.

    I hold a degree in music with a specialism in performance studies and have been privately teaching violin for 10 years.

    Violin lessons from classical to pop for beginners and advanced
    I have been teaching violin to beginners and advanced players of all ages for more than 10 years. In addition to posture, intonation and technique, the focus of the lessons is also particularly on the development of musical personality as well as musical expression, dynamics and agogics. Musically everything is possible: Of course I teach the classical and technical standards and violin concertos / works, but there are no limits here. I myself perform around the world with classical, classical pop, jazz, pop, rock, film music as well as current charts, house and dubstep and also give pure improvisation lessons. In addition to the violin basics, the style of personal taste is fine-tuned according to the student's wishes and goals. I teach in our offices in Munich (Rosenheimerplatz) and in our second office in Buch am Erlbach (near Moosburg / Freising / Landshut). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions

    Oud and oriental Arabic singing lessons with an experienced teacher
    Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years. My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies. Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.

    Violin lessons for children and adults all levels
    I give violin lessons (also viola) for children and adults. During the first lesson we will first get acquainted and I will explain about the posture and we will first make sound. It is important to first learn the basics well (rhythm, reading notes, posture and more), I always give nice songs and if students prefer to learn to play something that is always allowed. If the student can already play then we look together for the repertoire. It is also important to practice regularly, you don't have to do much, 10 minutes a day works fine as long as it is regular. I play more classical music myself, but I can of course also play modern well-known songs.

    Piano Lessons (Classical Music and Non classical), Music Theory, Harmony, Musical Arrangement, Composition
    At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson. In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician. Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

PLACES, FEES - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
