Learning to Play the Violin (and piano 😁) Together!

Von 76.2 € /Std

Hello! My name is Katerina, and I invite everyone who wants to learn this magical instrument—kids and adults alike—to join my violin lessons.

Orchestral musician and chamber musician, holder of a double master's degree in pedagogy and performance in France and abroad, I would be happy to accompany you on the way to learning violin. With 15 years of experience, I teach musical initiation, music theory and the viola that I have practiced in chamber music and of course the violin, my main instrument with which I perform in several orchestras and ensembles.

Since I have been teaching violin and music, not a day goes by that I tell myself that motivation and pleasure are the biggest drivers of learning. This is why I always favor during my classes a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to work. Technique is of course very important to me, but it is not just an end in itself.

My name is Léna, and I offer violin lessons for all ages and skill levels. I have many years of experience in private instruction and am currently completing my Master of Pedagogy at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (FHNW) in Basel. I particularly enjoy the duality of learning: building a solid foundation and working on technique, which ultimately allows one to experience complete freedom and joy on the instrument. I personally find the balance between the two by working according to the principles of the Alexander Technique and paying attention to physical health and the sustainability of playing. I implement this in my teaching; I find it very important to tailor the lessons, exercises, and method closely to the goals and personality of the students.

I also have a master's degree in violin with an old scale, which I completed at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Early music is my other great passion, so there's always the opportunity to learn about historical performance practice!

After more than 23 years of playing this wonderful instrument, the freedom of music still inspires me and keeps me going.

I look forward to accompanying you on your musical journey!

I am a piano teacher with over 30 years of experience, passionate about nurturing musical talent at every age and level. I have taught at esteemed institutions such as the Franz Schubert Conservatory in Vienna, and many of my students have gone on to succeed in auditions at top conservatories like the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover.

My students have also won national and international competitions including Premio Crescendo (Florence), Prima la Musica (Austria), the Grand Prize Virtuoso (Los Angeles, New York, Vienna, Berlin, Salzburg), and the Brno Mozart International Piano Competition.

Over the years, I have developed a unique and effective method for teaching young children, starting from age 3, all the way to university-level students and adult beginners. My approach focuses on developing a strong ear and making learning both joyful and fulfilling.

Outside of teaching, I love spending time outdoors with my dogs, reading, playing tennis, and enjoying time with my daughter.

My name is Ane, a violinist from the Basque Country. After completing my bachelor's degree in violin at the Basel University of Music with Prof. Barbara Doll, I am now excited to begin my master's degree in violin pedagogy. Teaching has always been an important part of my musical vocation: I enjoy providing individual support to each student, adapting to their tempo, and helping them discover the joy of playing and expressing themselves with their instrument. My training and orchestral experience have given me a broad musical perspective, but what motivates me most now is passing on this knowledge in a practical and personal way. In my teaching, I emphasize a balance between technique, musicality, and creativity, so that playing the violin is not just a challenge, but also an enriching and enjoyable experience.

I welcome students of all ages, whether you are getting started on a violin for the very first time, or to coming back to it after many years. I provide lessons catered to each individual, and am keen to help you on your musical journey! I like to combine building basic technical foundations with helping someone to connect with their own artistic expression. With children, I make lessons fun and interactive as they learn the basics of playing.

I graduated from the Musik Akademie Basel with a distinction in my Masters, and have performed all over Europe in renowned concert halls and festivals. I love teaching, getting to know students and helping them develop. I have years of experience and am dedicated to what I do.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I’m Gaia!
I’m a professional violinist and passionate teacher.

My course is designed for motivated violinists who are looking for guidance to grow and advance, as well as for beginners interested in discovering the world of the violin.
My teaching approach focuses on developing a strong musical sense together with a clear and structured methodology that ensures complete technical training. Among my greatest interests are pedagogy and psychology ; I read extensively on these topics to become the most well-rounded teacher I can be, capable of helping children, teenagers, and adults in their musical learning.

During my teaching activity, I often find myself recalling lessons and insights I received from my own mentors throughout my studies. I enjoy translating advanced concepts into simple and digestible forms for children and young students. I believe that every teacher has the responsibility to believe in the potential of each student and to constantly challenge themselves to find ways to make even complex ideas accessible. It is precisely at this age that the most important seeds of growth are planted.
I deeply believe that music is a personal investment that contributes to the full development of the individual. For this reason, I always prioritize empathy, mutual respect, and commitment in my lessons. A lasting improvement on the instrument can only be built on these foundations.
I also strive to keep my teaching informed by reading and researching beyond instrumental technique ;providing my students with a historically and theoretically aware approach to every piece we study.

I completed my Bachelor’s studies at the HMTMH Hannover (graduating with top marks, German 1.0 / Swiss 6.0 equivalent), and I am currently finishing my Specialized Master in Music Performance and Specialized Master in Chamber Music at the Musik Akademie Basel.
I have extensive experience in concert and ensemble performance and have been among the laureates of the Arthur Grumiaux International Violin Competition, the Città di Padova International Violin Competition, the Feast of Duos Sion, and a finalist at the ROSL Chamber Music Competition in London.
With my ensemble Trio Venere, I had the opportunity to perform in a public masterclass with Steven Isserlis at Wigmore Hall.
Coming from a musical family with a strong pedagogical tradition, I had the privilege to learn not only through my formal studies but also by observing my parents teach from an early age.
I have over seven years of teaching experience, and several of my students have successfully passed entrance exams for Italian conservatories (higher education) and won prizes in national youth competitions.

Ciao, sono Gaia!
Sono una violinista professionista e un’insegnante appassionata.

Il mio corso è rivolto a violinisti motivati che desiderano crescere e progredire con il supporto di una guida, ma anche a principianti interessati a scoprire il mondo del violino.
Il mio approccio si basa sulla formazione di un forte senso musicale e su una metodologia chiara e articolata, volta a fornire una preparazione tecnica completa.
Tra le mie passioni vi sono la pedagogia e la psicologia, discipline che studio e approfondisco costantemente per diventare una figura il più completa possibile, in grado di aiutare bambini, ragazzi e adulti nel loro percorso di apprendimento musicale.

Durante la mia attività di insegnante, spesso mi tornano in mente concetti e insegnamenti appresi dai miei mentori durante gli anni di studio. Mi piace tradurre idee avanzate in forme semplici e digeribili per bambini e ragazzi, perché credo che ogni insegnante abbia la responsabilità di credere nel potenziale dei propri allievi e di mettersi in discussione per trovare il modo più efficace di rendere comprensibili anche i concetti più complessi. È proprio in questa fascia d’età che si cominciano a piantare i semi più importanti della crescita.

Credo profondamente che la musica sia un investimento personale e uno strumento di crescita a 360 gradi. Per questo motivo, nelle mie lezioni metto sempre al primo posto l’empatia, il rispetto reciproco e l’impegno. Sono convinta che un miglioramento duraturo sullo strumento possa avvenire solo su queste basi solide.
Mi tengo costantemente aggiornata, anche al di fuori dell’insegnamento strumentale, per offrire agli allievi un approccio consapevole del contesto storico e teorico di ogni composizione su cui lavoriamo.

Ho conseguito il Bachelor presso l’HMTMH di Hannover (con il massimo dei voti, 1.0 tedesco / 6.0 svizzero) e sto attualmente completando il Master Specialistico in Music Performance e il Master Specialistico in Musica da Camera presso la Musik Akademie Basel.
Ho maturato una ricca esperienza concertistica e cameristica, e sono stata tra i premiati dei concorsi internazionali Arthur Grumiaux, Città di Padova, Feast of Duos Sion, oltre a essere finalista del ROSL Chamber Music Competition di Londra. Con il mio ensemble Trio Venere, ho inoltre partecipato a una Masterclass aperta con Steven Isserlis alla Wigmore Hall.

Provenendo da una famiglia di musicisti con una forte tradizione pedagogica, ho avuto la fortuna di imparare non solo attraverso i miei studi, ma anche osservando i miei genitori insegnare.
Ho oltre sette anni di esperienza nell’insegnamento, e alcuni dei miei allievi hanno superato con successo gli esami di ammissione presso Conservatori italiani e ottenuto premi in concorsi nazionali giovanili.
