Online Lessons: Viola, Violin Beginner-Advanced, Cello beginner-Intermediate (multiple styles)

Àpd 529.48 CNY /h

I have taught music lessons at all levels, but I am especially talented at helping beginner or intermediate students to master their skills of holding the instrument in such a way as to play without pain and therefore get a more beautiful sound out of the instrument. I have taught ages 5-adult and at one time had a private lessons studio in the US of 50 students per year. And I have taught hundreds of students through all my work in the schools.
With viola performance and teacher certification degrees, I have worked in public and private schools in the US, India, and Sweden for more than 20 years, creating community and empowering people with music.

While I was living in the Seattle area, my orchestra programs were recognized as among the top in Washington state. I was invited to judge solo and ensemble competitions in the area and be a guest teacher with other prominent orchestras. I had many students win regional competitions and perform in Washington All-State Orchestra and All-Northwest orchestras. I sing, write and arrange music that has been performed for school events, culture festivals, regional church conference, and the 2013 USA national church conference for Community of Christ.

I moved from the US to Sweden in 2015, and live with my Swedish husband and our child. We enjoy sharing our love of jazz and classical music and dancing lindy hop and balboa.

Présentation

I help students gain confidence through doing things in a step by step method where one skill builds on the next. And I teach with an emphasis on a relaxed manner of playing so that you can make playing a stringed instrument enjoyable.

I love to work with beginners and I also have the playing skills to teach even the most advanced students.Viola is my main instrument, but I also play violin on a high level. I can teach cello in the beginning to intermediate level.
I will meet students where they are and take them to the next level. I will always greet students warmly regardless of if they have had a chance to practice this week or not, I work from a place of inspiration, not intimidation.

So, whether you are wanting to play classical music or jazz or anything in between. I can help you get there! I prefer students to be age 7 or older for the way I like to teach and I welcome adults at all skill levels.

Education

I have a Bachelors Degree in Viola Performance from the University of Washington, Seattle US
I also hold a K-12 Washington State Teacher Certification for Instrumental and Choral Music

Expérience / Qualifications

I’ve been teaching private lessons on violin, viola, cello and piano with students ages 6-75 since 1992. In those years, I have helped hundreds of students to develop a love of music and enjoyment of playing.

In my last few years living in the Seattle area, US, I had 50 students per year in private lessons.

Previous to full time private lessons, I also taught general music, choir and orchestra classes for 15 years in public and private schools, mostly in Bremerton, WA, US. In Washington state my orchestra and private lesson students were know for winning top honors in competitions and performances around the region.
I also was a guest teacher for music competitions and with retreats for other orchestra classes in the region.

I spent one year teaching at Kodaikanal International School in Tamil Nadu, India. There I taught all the string students in private lessons and orchestra classes for middle school and high school.

In 2015, I moved to Sweden, where I now live and have taught at the International English School for 3 years and then again started my own business doing music lessons, life coaching and creating music albums of songs to go with my children's books.

I love working with kids of all ages, but I’m especially passionate about getting beginner string students (younger and adults) paired with an instrument they love and helping them to play with good technique from the start so they can enjoy the sound and avoid injury.

In this violin course you will learn a foundation in learning one of the most rewarding instruments in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Grip the bow, hold the violin, have the perfect hand position and enjoy playing the strings while learning how to read the notes, the violin rhythm and technique.

Students will generally learn better if they feel a connection developing with their teacher, whether that’s through humour, showing care about their development, or making sure teacher devote time equally to all students when in a group.

You will not regret. 😊

Hi there,

I'm a professional viola and violin teacher, teaching in person and online, in English, German or Russian.

As well as instrumental teaching and ensemble coaching of all ages and levels over the last 12 years, I’ve led numerous professional workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ in London and have taught on the Senior and Primary Arpeggione Viola Courses. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I participated in their conferences across Europe, including at the European Parliament in 2018.

I also prepare students for music exams, auditions and competitions at all levels, and work with them on music theory, aural and sight reading skills, and can accompany them the piano.

Alongside my teaching I perform internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, including at Kings Place London, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Philharmonie Berlin. I am a Hattori Foundation and Villa Musica artist, winner of the Małopolska competition, the Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition.

I hold a masters degree with first class honours from the class of Tabea Zimmermann at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, and Bachelors with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, where I began in the primary department almost 20 years ago.

I'm an avid chamber musician, and am a founding member of Ensemble Textura, a string ensemble based in Berlin, performing renowned works alongside experimental arrangements and lesser known masterpieces. I've also performed with Tabea Zimmermann at the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Gary Hoffman and Antje Weithaas at Kronberg Academy’s ‘Chamber Music Connects the World’, with Claudio Martínez Mehner at Encuentro de Santander, and regularly participate in the Open Chamber Music Seminar at Prussia Cove.

My violin classes are open to people of all ages and levels. You may have used to play the violin many years ago and are trying to get back at it but don't know how, you may have just started and you're looking for a teacher that can guide your first steps, you may be looking for regular coaching for an already developed sense of musicality — my classes accommodate all of the above and more.
Most of my pupils are already intermediate students who are dedicated to becoming the young violinists of the future, but that doesn't mean my class isn't for you if you are simply looking for a hobby! Music is about having fun together!

I can teach in English (fluent), Portuguese (fluent), Spanish (fluent) or French (basic).

Growing with joy in playing – developing technique through favorite pieces.

One of the most exciting aspects of playing the piano is the ability to play favorite tunes from movies and Disney fairy tales. You can easily learn and play popular songs that both children and adults will enjoy. This makes practicing the piano even more interesting and inspiring, as you can enjoy familiar and beloved melodies.
Learn your favorite melodies with fun
In my lessons, we'll explore jazz and pop music together on the piano. We'll play the music you love. If you'd also like to learn classical works, we're happy to incorporate that music into the lessons. You'll also learn music theory and ear training (solfeggio) – in a relaxed and playful way, so the focus is always on fun.

This violin course is designed for beginners and intermediate students, and aims to develop the essential technical and musical skills for playing smoothly and expressively. The program includes learning the fundamentals of violin playing, such as correct posture, grip, and producing a clear tone. You'll work on scales and arpeggios to develop your dexterity, as well as bowing techniques to master different stroke patterns. Sheet music reading, musical analysis, and music theory practice are integrated into the course to strengthen your theoretical knowledge and music-reading skills. Alongside this, you'll explore a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical works to more contemporary pieces, and will have the opportunity to work in a group to improve your listening and coordination with other musicians. The course also includes personalized guidance to structure your practice and prepare you for performances, with an emphasis on musical expression and managing stage fright. My approach aims to make each student independent and to encourage their musical development in a caring and motivating environment.

My goal is to help you learn through enjoyment. Whether you want to start your musical journey or improve your technique, I will guide you at your own pace. I also place strong emphasis on healthy, relaxed posture, so you can play comfortably and with confidence.

If you are looking for inspiring and supportive cello lessons, I would love to hear from you!
