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.

Hi there, I'm a professional violin and viola teacher, teaching in person and online, in English, German or Russian.

Alongside teaching 1:1 and coaching chamber music over the last 12 years, I've led numerous workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ in the UK and taught on the Primary and Senior Arpeggione Viola Courses run by Jacky Woods, coaching some of the UK’s leading young musicians. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I have participated in ESTA conferences across Europe, including at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and in Valletta, Europe’s cultural capital in 2018.

I regularly prepare his students for auditions, competitions and exams at all levels, and has a holistic teaching style incorporating music theory, aural and sight reading skills and physical awareness. Many of my students have won regional and national competitions and have been accepted into specialist music schools and youth orchestras.

Outside of teaching, I performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, recently including at Kings Place London, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Philharmonie Berlin. I received first prize at the Małopolska competition, the Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition.

I hold a Masters degree with first class honours from the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, where I studied with Tabea Zimmermann, and the University of Arts, where I studied with Lawrence Power, as well as a Bachelors degree with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, where I began in the primary department 20 years ago.

If you'd like to know more or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch or have a look at my website and video.

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.

This violin course is designed for beginners and intermediate students, and aims to develop the essential technical and musical skills for playing smoothly and expressively. The program includes learning the fundamentals of violin playing, such as correct posture, grip, and producing a clear tone. You'll work on scales and arpeggios to develop your dexterity, as well as bowing techniques to master different stroke patterns. Sheet music reading, musical analysis, and music theory practice are integrated into the course to strengthen your theoretical knowledge and music-reading skills. Alongside this, you'll explore a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical works to more contemporary pieces, and will have the opportunity to work in a group to improve your listening and coordination with other musicians. The course also includes personalized guidance to structure your practice and prepare you for performances, with an emphasis on musical expression and managing stage fright. My approach aims to make each student independent and to encourage their musical development in a caring and motivating environment.

These courses are primarily aimed at beginners or false beginners wishing to learn the violin on a solid foundation, in a progressive and motivating way.

Trained in classical and chamber music by a conservatory professor, I have developed an approach to the violin that is both rigorous and accessible, always keeping the pleasure of playing as the objective.

We work on the essential fundamentals: posture, bow hold, intonation, tone, and basic musicality. Emphasis is placed on a clear progression adapted to each student.

Each lesson is personalized according to your pace and objectives, whether it's to discover the instrument, consolidate the basics or evolve towards a more expressive style of playing.

Courses are available in French or English.

Typical Lesson Layout: Every session lasts one hour. The lesson starts with the student performing the material prepared during the week, followed by collaborative work. If the student has specific doubts, we skip the initial review and focus directly on those questions.
Teaching Techniques & Methods: Focus on technique, musicality, body relaxation while playing, and learning to truly enjoy the music. Furthermore, if the student simply needs to discuss topics related to performance anxiety or stress, we can dedicate the entire lesson exclusively to finding mental strategies.
Key Traits as a Teacher: Focusing on body awareness and physical sensations helps improve both mental and physical comfort to unlock a better, more natural sound.

The violin is a beautiful yet challenging instrument. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced player looking to refine your technique, having a patient, knowledgeable guide makes all the difference. I've designed my online violin lessons as a practical, supportive journey tailored to each student's unique goals.

With over 10 years of teaching experience in both private and public schools in Moscow, as well as more than a year of teaching in China, I've worked with students of all ages and levels – from absolute beginners to advanced players. I can help you build a solid foundation, improve your intonation and bow control, prepare for exams or performances, or simply play the music you love. I also offer guidance on choosing the right instrument and maintaining it, so you can start on the right foot.

In my lessons, you will learn proper posture, bowing techniques, finger placement, music reading, ear training, and expressive playing – all at your own pace, in a supportive and encouraging environment.

My lessons focus on developing solid technical skills, comfortable posture, and bow control, step by step, so that playing feels natural, pain-free, and enjoyable.

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

Clear results: noticeable improvement in posture, tone, and ease of playing — often after just a few lessons.
Tailored learning: every lesson is adapted to your level, pace, and personal goals.
Step-by-step structure: a clear, proven approach that builds confidence and measurable progress.
Musical growth: we work on both technique and musical expression, so you not only play correctly but beautifully.
Supportive atmosphere: patient, encouraging guidance that keeps you motivated.

I also make sure to include music theory along the way, that helps understand what you’re playing. You’ll learn how to read sheet music, follow a score, and even recognize patterns and structure in the music. It gives you more freedom and confidence as a musician.

Lessons available in English, Romanian, and Russian — feel free to message me with questions or to schedule your first class!
