Violin and Viola Classes for all Levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced

From 51 £ /h

I studied many different methods and for violin students, my preference is to start with the combination of Cohen, M., Violin Method: Pupil's Book 1 Nelson, S., Essential String Method Violin Book 1, and Suzuki Book 1. I completed my Bachelor of Music in viola performance at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag with a minor in Music Education. At the same time, I have a certificate in teaching artistry from a certificate program called ‘The Global Leaders Program, where for my fieldwork assignment, I traveled to Chile and Jamaica and there I taught music intensively to kids who are underserved. I believe that a good teacher is one who is open to learning (because learning never stops) and who has experience in various situations. I am a very experienced teacher with an open mind and I am here to help you or your kid to learn an instrument in the most effective and fun way.

About Me

My name is Kardelen and I am a performing artist and teacher. I was born and raised in Turkey, and started playing the violin at the age of 8 years old. The moment I started classical music, I fell in love with it. For me the passion came from the music itself rather than the instrument. I learned to listen and find my voice through the violin. At the age of 12 I got into the full time conservatory in Istanbul where I switched to viola. The reason I switched to the viola is that when I listened to the deep sound that the instrument created, I felt like it awakened something that was part of me. That was the moment when I found my instrument!

Education

I completed my Master of music in Performance and Pedogogy at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag with a minor in Music Education. At the same time I have a certificate in teaching artistry from a certificate program called ‘The Global Leaders Program, where for my fieldwork assignment, I traveled to Chile and Jamaica and there I taught music intensively to kids that are underserved. I believe that a good teacher is the one who is open to learning (because learning never stops) and who has an experience in various situations. I am a very experienced teacher with an open mind and I am here to help you or your kid to learn an instrument with the most effective and fun way.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching regularly the past five years. Teaching and education have been my passion since the very beginning of my own music education. I saw first hand that instruction of high quality can bring extraordinary potential out of just about everyone. I studied many different methods and for the violin students my preference is to start with the combination of Cohen, M., Violin Method: Pupil's Book 1 Nelson, S., Essential String Method Violin Book 1 and Suzuki Book 1. For beginner piano students, I use Hal Leonard Student Piano Library and Suzuki Piano School. I can teach fluently in both English and Turkish as well as in some Dutch (improving all the time).

Hello,
I am a violin teacher and violinist. Having taught the violin for 20 years and knowing in depth different instrumental techniques and different teaching methods, I can adapt my teaching to the needs, age and character of each student. In addition, my educational background combined with the unique experience and knowledge given to me by my relatively recent motherhood and my love for children and other human beings, has led me to pursue positive teaching with empathy towards the student who aims to make him happy, to love music and to acquire a solid basis for his overall development! I am also able to teach with the Suzuki method. I teach children from the age of 3 and even adults. I organize concerts for my students at least twice a year. Classes are in French, English and Greek. For more information do not hesitate to write me. Thank you.

My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life.
I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University.
Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

Violin and viola learning for adult beginners and returning players or in the band
SEE ENGLISH BELOW

I have been teaching adult beginners and intermediates to play the violin and viola for 10 years. The focus is very different. One person would like to find relaxation in playing the violin. Another would like to be able to play a certain piece because he likes it. A third has picked up the violin again after a long time.

I have had violin lessons for > 10 years and am currently studying viola at the Conservatory of Bolzano. I have 10 years of teaching experience.

I teach classical and electric violin, always tailored to the student. The lessons can also be carried out using the Suzuki method.

Based on my band experience with violin/viola, I am also a contact person if you play violin or viola in a band.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.

Even if you are a student looking to enrich your education, or an adult searching for a new hobby, my lessons will exceed your expectations!
I am both a performing artist and a violin & piano teacher in international schools, with a lot of experience in leading school ensembles and bands.
The philosophy that guides me as a musician and tutor is the fact that music is a real therapy, so beneficial to everyone. No matter what skills they have, all people of any age should learn to play a musical instrument.
All my lessons are customized according to the student, the teaching continues only if I have a real feed back and I am positive that the student is ready to learn a new lesson. Otherwise, without any pressure, all the notions learned up to the present moment are resumed in order to consolidate and settle all the information.

I have played the violin for over 20 years and am currently doing a master ́s of music in violin. Music is my passion, I have been teaching violin for 5 years, in music schools as well as privately from the ages of 7 to 60.
My aim in teaching is to enable the student to experience the beauty, richness and also the fun side of music, by helping to develop the technical skills needed to express oneself on the violin. I find it very important to take into account the personal goals and wishes of the student and to create an atmosphere of encouragement, creativity and mutual understanding.
No matter if you are interested in learning to play your favourite tunes just for fun or want to build up strong, solid technique and play demanding repertoire, I would be happy to work with you.The world of music is incredibly rich and I would love to help you on the exciting journey of discovering it. I believe it important to have variety in the process of learning and to help the student to develop good practising habits.

The lessons can be taught in either Estonian, English, German or Spanish.

My name is Daniela, and I am a cross-over violist from Costa Rica. I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 to pursue my studies at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Classical Music (Viola). I am currently continuing my journey at Codarts with a Master's degree in Latin Music.

During my time in the Netherlands, I have been part of a wide range of musical projects across different genres — from classical orchestras and chamber music to pop, jazz, and world music collaborations. I've performed with ensembles such as the Jong Metropole and recorded with various pop, jazz, and fusion bands. I am also the bandleader of my own Latin project, La Reunión, and work as a freelance musician with diverse musical groups.

Before moving to the Netherlands, I studied Music Education at the University of Costa Rica and worked for several years as a private teacher. I have experience teaching violin and viola to both children and adults.

As a teacher, I am kind and patient. I believe in the value of consistent, focused work and in helping students grow step by step. I aim to make the learning process feel easy and fun!

DURATION OF THE COURSE AND ITS CONDUCT:
Methods adapted to the objectives / desires of the student.
My mission: Make learning simple but effective in order to focus on pleasure. The courses are not on the watch.
Thus, the student can choose to end the course only when he considers having obtained enough lessons but also to determine the duration in advance if he has imperatives.

MY METHOD
I adapt my pedagogy according to the student. (Age, goals, musical style, knowledge or not of music theory ...)
- Musical awakening for young pupils: The course is fun to capture the attention of the young pupil and allow him to soak up the musical bases and the instrumental technique while having fun.
- Beginner pupil: Approach the instrument by familiarizing himself with its outfit, use of the score or diagrams (according to the pupil's wish), adaptation to the pupil's development and his requirements.
- Intermediate student: Help with the performance of requested pieces or help with sought-after techniques, depending on the request.
- Advanced student: Interpretation work, learning tips to overcome the public's apprehension and to know how to make up for it.
In all levels, musicality, rhythm, exploration and logic are the keys used to express oneself freely through one's instrument and / or succeed in overcoming blockages due to technical constraints.

I offer individual violin lessons for beginners, advanced players and music students.

My particular focus is on Baroque music and historically informed performance practice. For the past three years, I have been intensively studying the Baroque violin and the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. In my teaching, I convey not only technical fundamentals but also stylistic understanding, phrasing, articulation, and the characteristic sound of Baroque music.

In addition, I naturally also teach the classical violin repertoire. Lessons cover playing technique, bowing, intonation, vibrato, scales, musical expression, and efficient practice.

I'm happy to support you with entrance exams, competitions, orchestra auditions, or when learning new pieces. Each lesson is individually tailored to your goals and skill level.

I am studying violin at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw).

Mein geigenunterricht verbindet klassische Violintechnik mit musikalischer Kreativität, Jazz und Improvisation.
Der Unterricht richtet sich an Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene – sowohl an Anfänger als auch an fortgeschrittene Geiger. Please note that there are individual differences at your level, interests and personal needs.
The classical compositions include a solid technical composition: Haltung, Bogenführung, Intonation, Klang, Rhythmus, Coordination sowie Tonleitern, Etüden und Repertoire. Dabei ist mir wichtig, dass Technik immer mit musikalischem Ausdruck und Freude am Spielen verbunden wird.
For the Jazz and Improvisation players, you can find out more about the composition of the sounds of free and harmonious improvisations. Wir arbeiten unter anderem mit Tonleitern und Arpeggien, Rhythmus, Gehörbildung, einfachen harmonischen Structures, Akkordfolgen und ersten Jazz-Standards.

Hi, I'm Stephanie, professional violinist and teacher with more than 10 years of teaching experience, working with students from young beginners through to ATCL diploma level. I trained at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège in the Franco-Belgian violin tradition and currently perform with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra.

My teaching combines strong technical foundations with listening, musical curiosity and confidence. Growing up in Hong Kong, I began my own violin studies with the Suzuki Method, and I am now continuing my training in Suzuki pedagogy. I particularly value its emphasis on learning through listening, positive encouragement and developing good habits naturally.

I want lessons to be enjoyable and encouraging, while still giving students the tools to become thoughtful and independent musicians. My experience includes individual teaching as well as orchestras, bands and ensembles, so rhythm, listening to others and making music together are also important parts of my teaching.

Lessons are adapted to each student's age, level and goals, whether learning for enjoyment or preparing for exams, competitions and performances. Previous students have progressed from beginner to ATCL level, with several receiving prizes at the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival.

Every student picks up the violin for a different reason — some want to finally play the piece they've always loved, others are preparing for a conservatory audition, and many are simply curious and want to see where the instrument takes them. Lessons here start from that goal, not from a fixed method: a hobbyist and a future professional need very different things, and the plan adjusts as progress happens.

The core focus is classical technique — posture, bow control, intonation, and musical phrasing — built on training from some of the most respected names in the violin world today, including masterclasses with Olivier Charlier, Marc Danel, and Sarah Kapustin. Chamber music and orchestral playing are a particular strength, drawn from active experience performing in string quartets and symphony orchestras, so students preparing for ensemble playing or exams get guidance that comes from real stage experience, not just theory.

The trial lesson is relaxed and low-pressure: it's mainly about listening, watching how you already play (or, if you're a complete beginner, how you hold the instrument), and understanding what you want to get out of lessons. From there, the first few real lessons focus on solid fundamentals — a comfortable, sustainable technique from day one prevents bad habits later. Regular short practice between lessons matters far more than long, occasional sessions, and having a well-adjusted instrument (even a modest one) makes that daily practice much easier — advice on setup and equipment is always part of the conversation if needed.

Behind the teaching is a violinist who recently finalized Master's degree in Classical Music Performance at Codarts Rotterdam under Gordan Nikolic and Goran Gribajcevic with highest marks, following a Bachelor's degree from the Conservatorio Superior de les Illes Balears. Teaching experience runs alongside an active performing career — including work as an academic with the Orquestra Simfònica de les Illes Balears and as a member of a professional string quartet — so lessons stay grounded in what actually works on stage. Classes are available in English, Spanish, and Catalan.
