Violin and music theory lessons for beginners and intermediate players
course price icon
From 29 € /h
arrow icon
Professional academic lessons in an amusing way.
We will work on music theory and reading, and how to produce a good sound out of the violin with the right posture.
We are also going to work on sound production and how to have a distinct character in playing aside from developing the technical ability.
Extra information
For beginners, you will have to buy your own violin and shoulder rest; we can agree on specific models that are within your budget and are comfortable to play.
For intermediate and advanced players: It would help if you explained your level by stating the last pieces and etudes you have studied.

About Me
I'm a passionate violinist with over 10 years of experience in orchestras and 8 years of teaching. I've been playing the violin for over 20 years now, and I've done many concerts with international orchestras. It has been my passion and my way of life. Music to me is about enjoying the beauty in life through dedication and work; nothing comes easy!

With teaching, I've found that I'm learning from my students. I like to debate and think about solutions with my students to make their lives easier. Learning the violin is a long process that requires patience, and I'm here to offer support and guidance.

I am an oud teacher who teaches oud to beginners in terms of reading musical notes.
Intensive training is required to raise the level in an academic manner, as well as teaching solfege until you reach the required level.
Within a short period, the most important thing is that you have the oud. If it is not available, I can recommend a professional oud maker to you.

If you're just starting to learn the oud and want to get to know the basics, it's not difficult and we'll help you enjoy playing and build your skills step by step.

First of all, what is an oud?

The oud is an ancient stringed instrument used in oriental music. It has a distinctive shape and a deep sound. It consists of a large wooden body and a short neck with strings.

Ok, how do we start?

1. Oud grip:

The first thing you need to learn is how to hold the oud correctly, so that you are comfortable and your hand can move easily over the strings.
2. Strings:
The oud has five or six strings, and each string has a specific note. First, we'll learn how to tune the oud (adjust the strings so the notes sound correctly).

3. Basics of playing:

Next, we will learn how to move the pick (the instrument you pluck the strings with) and how to play simple notes on the strings.

4. Musical note:

We'll start by learning how to read musical notation in a simple way, so you can play short pieces. The topic will begin with easy notes, and then we'll progress step by step.


5. Practical application:

Over time, we will start practicing famous oriental pieces such as “taqasim” or simple things from the Arab musical heritage.

In this course, everything will be taught step by step so that you will understand the basics and be comfortable playing.
