Private teachers in Italy

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.

Suyeon is an excellent teacher as he engages the student to take ownership in their learning process. She was very generous in sharing her knowledge and experience in teaching the violin. She was very attentive to all aspects of violin playing: solfège, rhythm, technique, intonation, posture, position to mention a few. She communicates clearly and gives positive feedback to the student. My son learned a lot from her in one lesson!

Chiara's lessons are always very well planned and paced with great exercises. I have really enjoyed all of her lessons so far. She has a distinct ability to explain grammar and language peculiarities simply, so I feel I truly understand them, especially with the exercises to reinforce them. She is also very kind, personable and patient!
