More experienced violinist, looking for new repertoire, inspiration and personalised instructions to take your playing to a higher level? Looking for motivating and fun violin lessons for your child?

Why wait?

You've come to the right place! Music is part of my life since I was a child and I'm totally in love with the violin and the wonderful repertoire. I know playing the violin is not easy, but I can tell you: it's fun and you will love it too!

Violin Lessons  for Children

From the very beginning we have duos to play together. With easy classical and modern tunes, playful pieces and  fun exercises your child will develop a musical ear and a solid technique. Step bey step your child learns to read music. Fun in music comes always first!

Beginners - Classical to pop

Well done for taking the first step! As violinists, we are fortunate to have a wonderful repertoire for all tastes! Classical and baroque music but also popular tunes and film sound tracks. You''ll be encouraged to make music from the very first lesson with easy duets and progressive tuition materials.

What and how

In a relaxed atmosphere we will work on developing a smooth technique, always in a tension-free manner. We'll be focusing on tone production, dexterity of fingers, intonation, scales, fun exercises and classical or popular tunes. Together with some necessary music theory, always applied to the instrument, you'll learn pieces of gradual difficulty.

Violin Lessons to Advanced

We will work on more advanced concert pieces, popular music, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Brahms, Schubert,  Beethoven sonatas, scales and etudes, bowing technique, fluent bow changes, vibrato, playing in tune, playing in positions, articulation, phrasing and musical expression.
