Classes for children

Alongside a healthy technical foundation, beginning solfege, and improvisation tools, I emphasise self-compassion and patience throughout the learning process. Children develop a positive relationship to performance as well as well as increased self-expression and self-esteem. Music theory is taught through games and the young violinists are agents in choosing their own repertoire.

  • Selection of repertoire is collaborative, based on the child’s needs and musical preferences. Methodology often includes a blend of Suzuki, Colorstrings, classical pieces, Stradivari Violin series, and folk songs from the child’s country of origin.

Classes for teenagers

Adolescents feel motivated and inspired to play music with their peers when working with me. They express autonomy by selecting their own repertoire and begin to find their inner voice through the violin. Integrating classical scale-work and genres like doo-woop, soul, or R&B, teens find joy in numerous opportunities for improvising in their favourite genre, often over backing-tracks. Violinists begin to seek out the technical challenges as they feel supported by our classes and have the independence to pursue musical pieces of their choice.

  • Selection of repertoire is collaborative, based on the learner’s needs and musical preferences. Improvisation and composition are encouraged. Violinists play songs from a a variety of genres, and often perform popular music alongside classical pieces.

Classes for adults

My speciality is teaching adult beginners, but I love working with adults of any level. I wrote my Master's thesis on the neuropsychology of training adult violinists, while incorporating the somatic method, the Alexander Technique. This research taught me that learning the violin at any age can be joyful and easy. Now, I teach holisitically, using directed attention to guide gentle movement, working with the nervous system and improving coordination. I have glowing feedback from experienced violin students, as well as from those who began with zero experience in music. In my classes, you can pursue the genres you love, learn to read and count music, and feel accomplished and supported every step of the way.

  • Selection of repertoire is collaborative, based on your needs and musical preferences. For complete beginners, I used an integrated method to teach reading notation and playing simultaneously, in a pain-free way. Advanced violinists can learn etudes (Kreutzer, Dont, Rode), concerti or sonatas, as well as songs in popular genres.

Classes for duos and groups

Duos:
Having two violinists in a class is perfect for the first year of violin and can be exciting for the child. They learn the instrument through games and are able to play along with a peer. Alternatively, duos can occasionally supplement individual classes for more advanced beginners, intermediate students, or advanced students. 

Groups:
This is a great preparation for an orchestral setting and ideal addition to a violinist’s individual classes. Violinists learn deep listening, how to count with a conductor, and musical cues—all while having fun. Classes are taught using a combination folk and classical songs and include moments of improvisation games to improve hearing and musical flexibility.
