Violin lessons with experienced and certified teacher

From 42.84 £ /h

I have 10 years’ violin teaching experience in the UK and have recently moved to Dresden. I specialise in teaching beginners age 7-12 both in groups and 1:1. I also have lots of experience teaching teenage students, some of whom have gone on to study music at university. Most of my students worked towards ABRSM graded exams, but the primary goal of my lessons is always to make sure the student has fun playing.

I have a PhD in Music and the ABRSM Teaching Diploma (DipABRSM).

I offer cello lessons for students of all ages and levels (recommended from age 6). I have over 10 years of professional experience performing in orchestras including the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra, as well as in various chamber ensembles. Alongside my performing career, I currently teach at one of Berlin’s largest and oldest municipal music schools.

Start your musical journey in a supportive environment, where teaching is not rushed but tailored. My aim is to make your learning process less complicated, more solution-focused, and enjoyable, whilst fostering the joy of making music both individually and with others.

I am a professional violinist. I like to teach and play music. I have a lot of stage and teaching experience. I want to share my knowledge and help each student to improve their violin skills. I teach beginners and advanced. The individuality of each student is very important to me. A pleasant and friendly atmosphere of the lesson is important to me too.

I am studying at the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music in Dresden. I played in orchestras such as “Neue Philharmonie Munich” (2020), “German-Scandinavian Youth Philharmonic” (Berlin, 2020), “Zakhar Bron Festival Orchestra” (Switzerland, 2019), “Animato Academy and Concert Tour 2018” (Austria, Hungarian, Czech Republic, Slovakia), „International Region Orchestra“ (Germany, 2018), „East-West Chamber Orchestra“ (Bulgaria, 2018). I was a soloist and concertmaster of the Youth Symphony Orchestra at the Trans-Siberian Art Festival (Novosibirsk, Russia) and a soloist of the Youth Symphony Orchestra (Ulsan, Korea).

I offer violin and viola lessons to children and adults of all ages with flexible repertoire, work on technique and sound quality and adapting to individuals needs and wishes. Beginners, intermediate and advanced students are welcome! I am an experienced and enthusiastic teacher currently studying viola and music pedagogy at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber after completing a Bachelor in psychology in Slovenia and later on studying music in Prague, Czech Republic where I was also teaching violin at the International music school. The lessons can be held in English, German, Czech or Slovene, I also have active knowledge of Italian and basic knowledge of French. I am looking forward to hearing from you! :)

English and German speaking music teacher with many years of experience from beginner to tertiary level. My youngest student was four years of age but I also enjoy teaching adults. With piano lessons, we do a combination of note reading, music theory, improvising and with horn lessons we work on breathing and other technical aspects of brass playing. I would be very happy to help to prepare horn students for Hochschule entrance exams as well.

I believe that one of the most important aspects of being a teacher is developing my students’ confidence as well as developing their ability to step out of their comfort zone. Therefore my students have always been encouraged to sit for exams and perform in concerts, competitions and music festivals. It has been wonderful to see the success
my students have gained through these events; however the best thing has been to see how their confidence has improved as a result.
