I offer one-to-one violin lessons for all ages and skill levels with a supportive and structured approach. I am highly adaptable to any of your goals and desires, whether it’s to make your first steps in violin playing, develop a general understanding of musical language, prepare for a certain grade exam or just play for fun. My aim is to make learning enjoyable and share the love for music with my students. My lessons are carefully designed to suit everyone. It usually consists of the foundation of the violin technique, a wide range of repertoire, carefully selected for every individual, historical context of the compositions, music theory and aural skills, however, it depends greatly on the goal of each student and can differ in each case. I have been teaching for over three years, both in person and online, with students’ ages ranging from 4 to 48 years old, and enjoyed helping them move towards their dream, whether it is to be able to play a tune from their favourite song, or a classical concerto.

About Me

Hello!

My name is Julia, and I am a violinist and dedicated music teacher based in London. I am currently studying music at the Royal Academy of Music, where I focus on violin performance as well as broader aspects of music such as history, analysis, and diversity in programming. Being both a performer and a student allows me to bring fresh, up-to-date ideas into my teaching, as well as a deep understanding of what it’s like to learn and grow as a musician.

I have experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults at different levels—from complete beginners to more advanced players preparing for exams, auditions, or performances. My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs and goals: some may want to build a solid foundation, while others may be more focused on developing technique, interpretation, or musicality.

As a teacher, I am patient, encouraging, and supportive. I aim to create a positive environment where students feel inspired to ask questions, explore their creativity, and build confidence. Music is not only about playing the right notes—it’s about expression, communication, and enjoyment, and I want my students to experience all of that.

Whether you’re picking up the violin for the very first time, returning to it after a break, or aiming to take your playing to the next level, I would love to guide you on your musical journey.
