Violin and viola lessons with you or me

From 71.8 £ /h

Hello!
I am pleased to be able to introduce myself briefly and share my passion with you. I am passionate about honest, inclusive and exciting instrumental lessons, which can also be humorous. As a child, I was able to enjoy such lessons with my first teacher, so that at the age of eight I decided to become an instrumental teacher myself. I would like to ignite this fire in my students too - as long as they want it, of course.

Just being human, enjoying music together and learning an instrument at the same time. Self-discovery learning is very important to me. But you don't just learn the violin/viola, you also learn how to make music.

I am still young and in the middle of my Master's degree here in Bern, where I have been giving private lessons for the last six months and am constantly learning something new - you never stop learning. I was able to gain further experience in Austria during my Bachelor's degree. This included two years of teaching experience at three music schools as part of my degree.

Through my studies, private lessons and substitute teaching, I have also had the opportunity to gain experience with all age groups.

I look forward to your message!
Kind regards
Raphael

About Me

I am a young and dynamic violin and viola teacher. I have been living in Bern for a year and I also understand Swiss German. Unfortunately, my French is very rusty. I am also a very sincere and honest person. All of my students have appreciated the calmness that I radiate.
I try very hard and am happy to help if something doesn't work out on the first try - Rome wasn't built on the first day.

Listening to music gives us freedom, happiness, peace, and access to a limitless world. Being able to learn an instrument that empowers your imagination is a wonderful gift you can give yourself or your loved ones. Both the voice of a violin and a viola can bring out the best in you and radiate the outward radiance you've been seeking all along.

Listening music gives us freedom, happiness, peace and the choice to a limitless world. Being able to learn an instrument that gives you wings to your imagination is a great gift that you can do to yourself or to your loved ones.
Both violin and viola's voices can take out the best of you and bring that sparkle of light that you were looking for all this time.

Violin lessons for all levels and all ages.
I have been teaching violin for 2 years, I work with children and with adults. And for me, it's very interesting - to share my passion and love for music with other people. I really want to help and teach each person because I think music is very important to all of us.
Together, we can learn various techniques, enrich our knowledge of music and choose a repertoire you like.

I am happy to be able to give joy and confidence in piano playing to each person who is interested, no matter what level, nor age that person has!:)
As a certified teacher ( I fulfilled my BA of piano performance and instrumental teaching in Austria, currently studying a MA), the main points of my teaching focus on the following aspects;
-teaching different stiles (ex pop songs) with the main focus on classical piano
-adapting the methods to each student in an individual way
-focusing on the physical (body contact, relaxation, "healthy playing")
and psychological well-being (reassuring the confidence, building a
foundation for a creative development) of the students
-varying from "notes playing" to improvisation, musical dialogues
and duets
-presenting a clear, yet detailed, colorful way of each piece as an
argument for the student's own understanding/perception regarding it
-approaching and developing technique from musicality
-respecting, supporting and effectively communicating with each
student
I offer Piano lessons, as well as auxiliare music subjects such as music theory, harmony, music history.

This course is aimed at beginner and intermediate students of classical violin, jazz and contemporary music.

For beginner students:
We cover technical elements such as violin and bow positioning and holding, bow movement, left-hand placement, scales, and positions. We also work on developing ear training and rhythm. We may also introduce basic music theory concepts, such as reading notes.
Finally, we work on learning pieces, according to the student's desires and musical styles.

For intermediate students, here are different approaches depending on their musical styles and desires.

For jazz and improvised music: scales or arpeggios that can be played on a given chord, modes and their use, rhythm, improvisation exercises, phrasing (swing, Latin, funk, etc.), learning jazz standards, how to amplify on stage, etc.

For classical music: scales and arpeggios, technical exercises for the left and right hand, how to put together a piece, musicality and interpretation.
