About Me

I am a passionate and dedicated professional violinist who enjoys sharing my love for music with students of different ages and levels. I believe that learning the violin should be both structured and inspiring, with a balance between solid technique and musical expression.

I am a patient and attentive teacher who adapts each lesson to the individual student, their level, personality and musical goals. Whether you are starting from the beginning or looking to develop your existing skills, I aim to create a positive and motivating environment where you can progress with confidence.

Alongside teaching, I remain actively involved in professional musical life through orchestral performances, chamber music and other artistic projects.

Education

My musical education began at the “Ciprian Porumbescu” Republican Music Lyceum, where I received a comprehensive classical music education and developed my foundations as a violinist.

I continued my studies at the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts (AMTAP), where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in violin performance.
I am currently continuing my musical education at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK), where I further develop my artistic, technical and musical skills.

My education has also been enriched through masterclasses, international projects and musical experiences, including opportunities in Switzerland, as well as through extensive chamber music activities.

Experience / Qualifications

I have extensive experience performing as a violinist in orchestral and chamber music settings, working with musicians from different backgrounds and participating in a variety of musical projects.

Chamber music has been an important part of my musical development, allowing me to work extensively on ensemble playing, musical communication, listening and interpretation.

I am currently the Second Concertmaster of Camerata Chișinău Chamber Orchestra, where I am involved not only as a performer but also in the musical coordination and development of the ensemble.

My professional experience includes performances and musical projects in Moldova, Austria, Switzerland and other European contexts. These experiences have helped me develop a versatile approach to violin playing and have given me the opportunity to work with different conductors, musicians and ensembles.

As a teacher, I bring this professional experience into my lessons, helping students develop strong technical foundations, musical awareness, confidence and an expressive personal sound

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.

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.

Hi! I’m Didac Barber, a professional concert pianist and experienced teacher from Spain, now based in the Netherlands.

I hold a Master’s in Piano Performance from The Hartt School (USA) and trained at ESMUC Barcelona, studying with top international pianists like Adolf Pla and Luiz de Moura Castro. I’ve performed across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, and have taught piano for over 15 years — in conservatories, private studios, and internationally online.

My passion lies not only in performance but in helping students discover what they are capable of. I’m dedicated, empathetic, and patient — and I want you to enjoy your learning journey as much as I do sharing it.

Each student is different, and so are my lessons.
Whether you're just starting out or already preparing for auditions or performances, I’ll adapt the lesson to your goals, challenges, and musical taste.

We can work, all in a way that feels personal and motivating, on:
* Technique and sound production
* Repertoire (classical, contemporary, film music, etc.)
* Musical expression and interpretation
* Performance preparation (concerts, exams, auditions)
* Practice strategies and confidence-building

I’m here to help you be the best pianist you can be, whether that means mastering Bach or finally playing your favorite piece with confidence.

Lessons are at students home or online, and taught in English, Spanish, or Catalan, unfortunately not in Dutch for now.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I’d love to hear about your musical goals and help you reach them.
Let’s make music together!
— Didac 🎶

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Let’s start this journey together and build a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime
