Online Lessons: Viola, Violin Beginner-Advanced, Cello beginner-Intermediate (multiple styles)
I have taught music lessons at all levels, but I am especially talented at helping beginner or intermediate students to master their skills of holding the instrument in such a way as to play without pain and therefore get a more beautiful sound out of the instrument. I have taught ages 5-adult and at one time had a private lessons studio in the US of 50 students per year. And I have taught hundreds of students through all my work in the schools.
With viola performance and teacher certification degrees, I have worked in public and private schools in the US, India, and Sweden for more than 20 years, creating community and empowering people with music.
While I was living in the Seattle area, my orchestra programs were recognized as among the top in Washington state. I was invited to judge solo and ensemble competitions in the area and be a guest teacher with other prominent orchestras. I had many students win regional competitions and perform in Washington All-State Orchestra and All-Northwest orchestras. I sing, write and arrange music that has been performed for school events, culture festivals, regional church conference, and the 2013 USA national church conference for Community of Christ.
I moved from the US to Sweden in 2015, and live with my Swedish husband and our child. We enjoy sharing our love of jazz and classical music and dancing lindy hop and balboa.

About Me
I help students gain confidence through doing things in a step by step method where one skill builds on the next. And I teach with an emphasis on a relaxed manner of playing so that you can make playing a stringed instrument enjoyable.I love to work with beginners and I also have the playing skills to teach even the most advanced students.Viola is my main instrument, but I also play violin on a high level. I can teach cello in the beginning to intermediate level.
I will meet students where they are and take them to the next level. I will always greet students warmly regardless of if they have had a chance to practice this week or not, I work from a place of inspiration, not intimidation.
So, whether you are wanting to play classical music or jazz or anything in between. I can help you get there! I prefer students to be age 7 or older for the way I like to teach and I welcome adults at all skill levels.
Education
I have a Bachelors Degree in Viola Performance from the University of Washington, Seattle USI also hold a K-12 Washington State Teacher Certification for Instrumental and Choral Music
Experience / Qualifications
I’ve been teaching private lessons on violin, viola, cello and piano with students ages 6-75 since 1992. In those years, I have helped hundreds of students to develop a love of music and enjoyment of playing.In my last few years living in the Seattle area, US, I had 50 students per year in private lessons.
Previous to full time private lessons, I also taught general music, choir and orchestra classes for 15 years in public and private schools, mostly in Bremerton, WA, US. In Washington state my orchestra and private lesson students were know for winning top honors in competitions and performances around the region.
I also was a guest teacher for music competitions and with retreats for other orchestra classes in the region.
I spent one year teaching at Kodaikanal International School in Tamil Nadu, India. There I taught all the string students in private lessons and orchestra classes for middle school and high school.
In 2015, I moved to Sweden, where I now live and have taught at the International English School for 3 years and then again started my own business doing music lessons, life coaching and creating music albums of songs to go with my children's books.
I love working with kids of all ages, but I’m especially passionate about getting beginner string students (younger and adults) paired with an instrument they love and helping them to play with good technique from the start so they can enjoy the sound and avoid injury.

Creativity coaching is a process of combining life coaching with music practices to help empower your voice, free up your creativity, and give birth to your next project.

Sergio
Cello Lessons at All Levels, Adapted to the Student's NeedsMy teaching method is carefully tailored to the specific needs of each student, regardless of the subject we are working on (music theory, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.). The pace of learning is always set by the student, ensuring that each lesson aligns realistically with their goals and interests.
Whether you're looking for a more flexible, amateur approach — open to personal interests — or a more structured plan aimed at exams, auditions, or academic improvement, I design a personalized learning path for each case.
My approach is rooted in a highly practical vision of learning, inspired by the educational model in which I was trained during my master’s degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). I view teaching as a dynamic process, where deep understanding takes precedence over rote memorization.

I'm a French violinist currently in my 4th year of a classical violin Bachelor at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague, and I hold a DEM (Diplôme d'Études Musicales) from the CRR de Paris (Regional Paris conservatory) where I studied with Florin Szigeti.
I’ve had the opportunity to participate in masterclasses with Josef Spacek, Pavel Vernikov, Olivier Charlier, Igor Volochine, Marianne Piketty, and I love sharing everything I’ve learned from them through my own teaching.
I have experience with Orchestra and chamber music as well. I had the pleasure of participating in a side by side project with the Orchestre Philarmonique de Radio France and play in various prestigious settings.
If you wanted to play violin as a child and couldn't, or if your child wants to start playing, then you're in the right place!
My lessons are based on a positive and encouraging approach:
✨ Mistakes are welcome — they’re part of the learning process!
🎯 We set clear, achievable goals together, and work step by step

Clara
Cello lessons from Bach to jazz to improvisationWhat is important to me in class?
Students and teachers should meet at eye level. It's important to me to create an atmosphere in which both feel comfortable and no one feels forced to do anything.
Where do I come from musically?
It has always been important to me to exploit all the possibilities that my instrument can offer. To be honest, I'm not finished yet, the cello has so many facets to discover! I've tried many different styles. I am currently studying a master's degree in contemporary music at the Basel University of Music. I completed my bachelor's degree in education in Freiburg. This gives me a good basis for teaching the instrument in a playful way and for eliciting creativity from the students.
Can you also find me on stage?
Yes, mostly with my indie-pop band. We write our own songs, and I'm usually responsible for a good bassline :)
But also with Percaso String Quartet, with whom we only play string quartet works by women.
Or in Ensemble IPSO, a music theater project in which we try to blend the boundaries between music, theater and dance.
And always with solo performances at vernissages.
I have a solidarity pricing system, meaning you give me whatever you can around the stated amount. If this applies to you, feel free to write.
Lessons at the student’s home and preferably in Riehen.
Andrea
Classical and modern cello classes in BarcelonaHello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me.
Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on.
Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor.
Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing.
No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not?
If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!
Ester
Private violin lessons, Music Theory, Technical and Musical SkillsMy 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.
Miriam
CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 10 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it?
Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you?
Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills?
Do you need reinforcement lessons?
Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory?
Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions?
...
These are the private cello lessons you were looking for!
My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent and currently I am studying a Posgraduate in Musical Performance Practice.
I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher.
Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

Private violin lessons for all ages and all levelsWhether you have never held a violin in your hands or are an advanced player, all are welcome to contact me!
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.
For those interested, I can also gladly include some music theory/music history knowledge in the lessons, to understand the pieces on a more profound level.
The lessons can be taught in either Estonian, English, German or Spanish.
