Violin lessons from an advanced soloist and tutor

From 66.06 £ /h

I'm a concert violinist with a deep passion for teaching. My musical journey began at the Special Music School in St. Petersburg (Russia), continued at the Royal College of Music in London, and brought me to the Haute école de musique de Genève — experiences that shaped me both as a performer and as a tutor.

I’ve worked with students of all ages and levels, from young beginners to aspiring professionals. Whether you're preparing for a major audition or simply want to explore music for the joy of it, I tailor each lesson to you — your needs and your pace.

For me, music is never just about notes or technique. It's about meaning, imagination, and emotional depth. I strive to help each student find their own voice through the violin, developing not only solid skills but also a true artistic identity.

I am certified by the Friborg Conservatory and I am currently playing in the United Nations Orchestra. I am studying in Geneva and I give violin lessons for beginners. In my beginnings at the conservatory, I experienced the difficulty of clinging and being disciplined for violin lessons at the conservatory. I am committed to transmitting the basics in a professional manner, and to make this activity attractive and dynamic. I take care of selecting scores of theoretical notebooks, studies, training for bows, fingerings and finally, melodies and musical works.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

Hello !
Violinist and currently a student at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, I offer lessons in violin, viola, musical awakening or music theory for all levels and all ages, but also preparation courses for the baccalaureate option music .
I also offer support lessons for students who are already studying in a conservatory.
Very interested in pedagogy for a long time, I have already taught private lessons in Paris and Versailles, but also at the conservatory of Dreux in France, where I had the pleasure of being a violin teacher and accompanying my students. in their musical journey.
Passionate about music since I was little, I am interested in different styles; so-called “classical” music, due to my training, but also jazz, Klezmer music and Eastern music, due to my origins.
From a pedagogical point of view, I know how to adapt to everyone, and the method I propose to learn is centered around the pleasure of playing, while ensuring that I provide my students with a stable knowledge base, theory, practice and musical culture.
Hope to meet you,
Martha

I was trained from Paris to Normandy to Lyon, from the age of 4 to 20 in violin and music theory. I want to teach the love of the instrument, expression. I had teachers who demotivated me, and I want to teach the violin to people who have difficulty having confidence. I used to train in viola and drums and music theory, for people who want to have fun.

I place great importance on each student's inner motivation and sensitivity to sound. My approach aims to develop listening skills, timbre awareness, and musical expression, while helping each student overcome their inhibitions with personalized learning methods. With over nine years of experience, including several years at the Neuhof-Stockfeld music school in Strasbourg, I adapt my lessons to each student's personality, needs, and pace. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, child or adult, I offer tailored guidance in a supportive yet challenging environment.
