Music teacher training lessons in Switzerland

I had the great privilege of having Sofia preparing me for a competitive international orchestra audition in November 2022. During the brief time we had for the preparation, Sofia has not only shown thorough understanding of violin techniques - from the fundamentals to the more virtuosic - but also a command of the whole spectrum of musical expressions, both of which she was able to convey with clarity and effectively. Furthermore, due to her extensive experience in performances/auditions, she identified my strengths and weaknesses immediately from the start and designed a strategic practice plan specifically for me, which helped me improve rapidly within our short time frame and maxed out my performance at the audition. She is a rare teacher who is encouraging and shares the students’ passions, without compromising critical judgement in any flaws in performance, giving me a realistic assessment of my abilities and a great sense of security before the audition. Musical matters aside - she is a caring, warm, and passionate person who does not hesitate to mobilise all her resources to help me -intellectually or otherwise, despite her busy schedule. I honestly could not have completed my audition without the advice and confidence she gave me. 10/10 would recommend.

I started to take classes with Yulia, because my voice has become rusty after not singing for many-many years. I sought her expert advice to know whether there was still hope for me to join a choir. After 3 sessions with her I can say that I really appreciate her professionalism, her gentle approach, her honesty and her encouragement. I am glad that I found her!

Ioanna is a very nice and pleasant person with a great ability to patiently explain easily comprehensible, even to an ABSOLUTE beginner without ANY musical knowledge. I am really impressed with her, great choice for me!
