Private Violin lessons for beginner to intermediate students

From 52.34 € /h

Hi! my lessons focus on building solid violin skills in a clear, supportive way. Students learn proper technique, posture, tone production, and music reading while developing good practice habits from the start. Lessons are structured but flexible, allowing each student to progress at a pace that makes sense for them.
I work with beginners and continuing students, tailoring each lesson to individual goals whether that’s improving technique, preparing for school orchestra, or simply learning to play with more confidence. The emphasis is on steady progress, consistency, and making the learning process approachable and rewarding.
Lessons include technical exercises, repertoire, and practical strategies students can use when practicing on their own.

I offer two tracks for piano lessons:
Bee-Thovens - where students learn to read music by composing their own songs and Buzzin' Bees, where we dive right into note reading and exploring the classics.

In my Bee-Strings classes, I take the same approaches with my guitar and ukulele students.

My general music classes - The Bee Hive, for pre-k 3, pre-k4, kindergarten, first and second-grade classes, include playing percussion instruments, singing and movement. We even incorporate the keyboard and ukulele.

I am a compassionate and enthusiastic teacher dedicated to helping my students reach for the stars! One of my defining characteristics is my genuine interest in the longterm happiness and progression of my students. I am committed to providing students with a safe and positive environment where they feel supported throughout their musical journeys. I absolutely love finding ways in which I can personalize my lessons to best fit each student. Music education is not one size fits all and I want to honor the different ways students learn. I gain so much happiness knowing that my lessons fit the needs of my students.

I am dedicated to nurturing a love for music in each student. I aim to positively enhance the student's strength, dexterity, and technique while building a lasting interest in music. In early lessons, I focus on developing an understanding of the student's goals and personal interests. I guide students to create sustainable practice routines, reinforcing the importance of discipline, responsibility and hard work. I emphasize building a strong foundation early on so that future musical progress is always supported by a strong core of musical knowledge. Typical lessons involve scales, sight reading, and a piece that the student chooses.

My goal as a teacher is specifically designed to help you achieve your goals as an artist and a musician.

I teach violin and viola lessons with the aim of improving technique, musicality, and interest in the instrument. Learning a string instrument can be challenging, but I believe it is also one of the most rewarding endeavors you can undertake.

I focus on sound production and facility of the instrument, and try to make sure that every student is learning repertoire that helps them and interests them.

Exploring Your Singing Voice!!!

It is my belief that anyone can sing as the body is built to speak and sing. So if you or your child loves to sing, it is never too late nor too early to learn one's self-expression through singing.

I work with people of all ages from beginners, hobbyists, the curious, and to everyone in between who yearns to explore their singing voices.

Lessons are tailored for each individual depending on their level and goals for singing.

My lessons cover Vocal Function/Technique, Basic Music Theory, and learning and performing a song.

The Vocal Technique I teach is grounded in the principles of Functional Singing and Somatic Voicework TM The LoVetri Method. Vocal technique which covers Posture, Breathing, Body and Vocal Warm-ups, and Vocal Exercises prepares the body to sing freely, effortlessly, and powerfully. It facilitates awareness of mind, body, and breath connection which promotes freedom of expression and brings forth the joy of singing

Learning about violin playing from theory to performance, how to position right and left hand, how to check and improve intonation, how to practice various techniques and solve different kind of technical problems.
We can work on standard violin school textbooks, from basic exercises through scales, studies to simple pieces and then to more demanding violin pieces like concertos and sonatas.
If someone prefers to learn basic tunes such as popular melodies and violin cover songs, that’s possible as well.

What makes a good song? This is exactly what we are going to find out. Exploring many of same techniques that are dealt with during our Composition Lessons, but in a broader more macro way. These lessons are geared to bring out your inner storyteller. By analyzing the great songs of the past and learning what makes them so effective, students will be able to internalize those tricks and techniques and add them to their own musician's toolbox. These tools will prove to be invaluable not only in crafting and shaping their musical stories, but also in overcoming writer's block. This program will ultimately help your songs reach their full potential and give you the ability to reach people on a deeper, more profound emotional level.

I am now offering piano and violin lessons for beginners and intermediate students including kids, teens and adults. I use a student-centred pedagogy to help students reach their individual goals, whether they want to learn a classical repertoire or their favourite tunes from movies, musicals, etc. On top of that, I teach theory, improvisation, and various mindfulness and embodiment tools that cultivate technical and performance skills. I have a bachelors in psychology and violin performance from York University in Canada. In addition, I also have experience working with neurodiverse populations and low-vision populations-I am both:)

How do you learn and what are your goals in learning music? I aim to make learning music as interesting and accessible as possible. I use a scaffolded approach to teaching that pairs physically sustainable playing techniques (Alexander Technique) with built-upon previous knowledge and interests. I hold MM and BM degrees from New York University and The University of Iowa and studied with Melissa White and Gregory Fulkerson for the entirety of my Masters of Music at New York University.
I am a violinist and violist currently living and working in New York City. I have played in such venues as Lincoln Center Summer Stages, Carnegie Hall, Duomo di Orvieto, among others. I grew up playing bluegrass with my parents and now genre-hop among traditional classical music, contemporary classical, pop, singer-songwriter, musical theater, jazz, avant-garde, and folk. For these reasons and more, I enjoy tailoring the repertoire and technique education to the student's goals and interests. I have taught 3 year olds, elementary kids, high schoolers, college students, and adult learners, and enjoyed all within the age range for various reasons.

*Development of competencies*

Violin/viola students will learn a wide range of musical repertoire from popular children's songs to classical works. In the classes they will learn how to hold the instrument, the care of the viola/violin, and what is involved in playing it, where they will be given the technical musical tools to develop their maximum potential in order to play the violin with a pleasant, grandiloquent sound and enjoy each note through the stroke of the bow on the strings.

Music is a beautiful thing that today can be anything from a brief escape from reality, to a passion, to a hobby to enjoy. I help people learn about all types of music, and aid them in forging their own relationship with it. Experienced in many different genres and styles, I seek to expand people's musical views and show them that regardless of who you are, where you're from and what you do, music can be whatever you want it to be for you, and it's my job to help you figure out what that is and find what your passion in music is.
