Music is fun! Experienced teacher works with children ages 5 and up, as well as teenagers and adults of all levels. Previously a teacher at the University of Rome, she currently teaches violin in Bern and the surrounding area.
As a teacher, I place great importance on precise foundations, movement sequences, and the body's well-being. Sound, music, and joy are the ingredients of my teaching style. Improvisation and all styles of technique are welcome.
Working with Ennio Morricone and Quincy Jones has certainly influenced my approach to music and teaching.

About Me
Geige macht Spass!
Erfahrene Lehrerin arbeitet mit Kindern ab 5 Jahren, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen. Zuvor Geigenlehrerin an der Universität in Rom und Bolivien, derzeit Geigenlehrerin an verschiedene Musikschulen in Bern und Umgebung.
Präzise Grundlagen, Bewegungsabläufe und der Geisteszustand des Körpers sind für mich als Lehrer sehr wichtig. Gleichzeitig inspirieren mich die Musik und die Schönheit des Klangs. Egal ob Anfänger oder Fortgeschrittener, Musik macht auf alle Niveaus und in jedem Alter Spaß. Improvisation, alle Stile und stilistische Offenheit sind die Zutaten meines Unterrichts. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Ennio Morricone und Quincy Jones hat sicherlich meine Herangehensweise an Musik und Unterricht beeinflusst.

"Music is the soul of the universe, wings of the mind, flight of the imagination and life of any possible kind" - Platon

My goal as an experienced teacher is to help my students find their musical souls, weight out their imagination and awake their creativity using the tools of body awareness, motivation, discipline and fun.

Individual violin lessons for children and adults (all levels).
Available online as well!

The main emphasis during my lessons can be found in emotionality. The core of good music is expression or it's lack in the certain pieces. Self-confidence, self-awareness and conscious choice of means of expression are an important subject to the lessons. My goal is to open minds and inject my students with an analytical approach towards difficulties in their playing at the same time learning easy-coming, quick and simple resolutions. Most of all it's about fun. Fun and pleasure. As one said: "What is creation? Creation is passion. And what is passion? Passion is love." Threw introducing my students the musical world I live in, I try to help them find their own way of loving what's in between the notes.

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
