Violin and music theory tutor for young people

From 34.5 £ /h

For violin lessons:
- From beginner to intermediate
- Better to do the course by person and not by Meet
- The purpose of this course is to introduce the child to the instrument by teaching him the historical bases (the time of appearance, violin making, strings, notes, etc.) to the child and to show him the beauty of the violin. Then little by little we go

For music theory lessons:
- From beginner to intermediate
- In this course both are possible, so either by Meet (or other application) or in person
- The purpose of this course is to help the student understand how music is created. The rhythm, the notes, everything in general. If the student feels comfortable we can even go a little further to analyze all kinds of partitions.

Having recently obtained my masters degree in Music from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I have been teaching piano, music theory and electroacoustic music for 8 years.

As a former student of the Conservatoire de Musique of Geneva and a music technology undergrad, I offer a tailored program to your needs and wishes. Be it classical jazz or pop music or music theory, composition and improvisation (or all of these!), I will gladly instruct you in a friendly and playful way.

Graduated with a master's degree in Music and Environment at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I offer piano, music theory and electroacoustic music lessons for all ages.

Both classical piano training with years of study at the Geneva Conservatory and electroacoustic training with a bachelor's degree in music technology, I provide a program adapted to the needs and desires of each student. With seven years of experience under my belt and having had students of all ages and backgrounds, I gladly teach classical pieces, jazz, pop, but also music theory or even composition or improvisation. At the same time, I also teach electroacoustic composition to children.

A young, dynamic and motivating teacher, I have been teaching cello and music theory for more than 8 years to adults as well as children and whatever the level.

The repertoire visited is very broad, ranging from classical to modern music. The program is carried out according to the student's development as well as his musical desires and tastes.

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 there, and welcome!

Regularly rated 5 STARS on Google Page and a creator of a well-loved community of learner violinists, my name is Cheryl, and I offer highly unique and very enjoyable lessons to anyone who wants to challenge themselves with the violin. Do not be fooled - it's a tough instrument to play well! With my guidance and a special interest in postural health, you will quickly learn the basics with some regular effort. I especially encourage students to meet with other students in order to get to know each other on a human level.

An alum of the ABRSM, Suzuki, American and European conservatory systems (Masters with Magna cum Laude), and relentlessly studying to become better and better every week, I filter through 'The Book' to find the most effective and efficient way for the individual learner. We will find out what sounds appeal to you, and teach your unique 'voice' to come out.

With a little technique and a LOT of good taste, there's no knowing where your violin can take you! Come yourself, or with a friend or even with your child, and explore the infinite depths of real music-making! (Pssst: It's never really what we expect in the beginning!)

Lessons can be carried out in English, Italian, French :) Just shoot me a message and we'll decide on the details together! Looking forward to finally meeting you in person.

Hello,

I offer clarinet and music theory lessons for complete beginners and with some basics for children and adults (I do not recommend the practice of this instrument at a too young age - before 6 years old).

I have a diploma in music theory and clarinet at the 3rd cycle Nantes conservatory, after my 11 years of music studies.

I specialize in classical clarinet and klezmer (Jewish music) but can teach you the basics of jazz.

The rates are not fixed, we can discuss it.
