I have been teaching violin for 2 years, I work with children and with adults. And for me, it's very interesting - to share my passion and love for music with other people. I really want to help and teach each person because I think music is very important to all of us.
Together, we can learn various techniques, enrich our knowledge of music and choose a repertoire you like.

My lessons focus on joy, practice, and understanding of the instrument as well as music in general. The theoretical aspect is obviously included, for all levels. It is for me elementary to bring a maximum of motivation to my students, to allow them to have fun with their knowledge and to be able to play with other musicians.

Music theory, an essential subject to deeply understand music.
As I am Hungarian, I studied the Kodály method. It is a rather special method which is characterized by a lot of singing, creativity and rhythmic games, which was invented for the education of the people, not for the musical elite. Its effectiveness is proven by many musicians who have grown up in this extraordinary system.
During the lessons we would do several types of exercises:
- listening exercises
- writing exercises
- sing songs, melodies, chords, intervals...
(I am flexible regarding this subject, the student can advise activities/subjects (ex: history of music...))

The goal:
- find the connection between musicality-instrument-theory
- improve ear (absolute/relative), sight-reading, musicality, theoretical knowledge

This course is intended for beginners but also for advanced people who would like to deepen their approach to music. Whether you are an instrumentalist wishing to acquire basics in electronic music, or a "Producer" looking to learn music theory, I can guide you in a global or specialized approach to musical creation.
We may or may not have recourse to the use of the piano, which is an ideal tool for creating a bridge between electronic music and instrumental music.
All ages are welcome, I find it as easy to coach in musical creation for adults as I do musical awakening for children.

Growing with joy in playing – developing technique through favorite pieces.

One of the most exciting aspects of playing the piano is the ability to play favorite tunes from movies and Disney fairy tales. You can easily learn and play popular songs that both children and adults will enjoy. This makes practicing the piano even more interesting and inspiring, as you can enjoy familiar and beloved melodies.
Learn your favorite melodies with fun
In my lessons, we'll explore jazz and pop music together on the piano. We'll play the music you love. If you'd also like to learn classical works, we're happy to incorporate that music into the lessons. You'll also learn music theory and ear training (solfeggio) – in a relaxed and playful way, so the focus is always on fun.

Music is one of humanity's most important and influential cultural assets that transcends language. The guitar gives you access to a wide range of genres from classical, pop, rock, reggae, polka and folk (and much more).
It doesn't take much to start playing the guitar and make some progress. With me you will learn how to feel comfortable on the fretboard, how chords are constructed and how to find the notes yourself. How to improvise in different styles and everything you need to learn your favorite songs.

The flute has a clear, bright, yet gentle sound that can be cheerful, delicate, or full of energy.
In my lessons, you'll learn to enjoy music naturally, step by step, always tailored to your level and interests. It's not just about technique, but also about expressing yourself, enjoying playing, and discovering everything the flute has to offer.

Lessons can be structured in different ways: through technique, studies and works, or by exploring pieces intended for special occasions – to be played with the family or even together with other musicians.

Hi! My name is Caterina, I'm Italian, and I'm an international student in Bern. I'm studying Composition Creative Practice. I have a bachelor's degree in oboe.
I offer lessons in all the basic notions in Music Theory and Music History. If you want to learn how to read music or if you are not a complete beginner and you would like to discover more about this topic I could be the right person for you!

My schedule is very flexible, I change from one week to another. It's better to organize directly together but it will not be hard to find a moment!

✏️TEACHING CONCEPT. ✏️

💡 I like to approach music as a language. Just as we learn to speak by first listening,
understanding, recognizing, and imitating words before learning to read and write them, I
believe that musical learning should follow a similar path. That’s why I place strong
emphasis on aural development, listening, and internalizing sound before focusing on
notation.

💡 My teaching is based on experience, intuition, and exploration. I aim to create a space where
each student feels free to play, discover, and express themselves, encouraging them to
follow their own curiosity and find personal meaning in music.

💡 I always adapt to the needs and goals of each student. Some come with a clear desire to
study classical repertoire, and in those cases I introduce reading and technical work from the
beginning — but always in a way that connects with the music’s expressive and structural
elements, not just as abstract exercises. I believe analysis, understanding, and creativity can
go hand in hand with solid technical and reading skills. Others want to accompany
themselves while singing, or ask for tools to help them create and develop their own musical
ideas. I enjoy guiding each of them through these different paths, offering a wide range of
resources and approaches.

💡 I also pay close attention to each student’s musical interests when choosing repertoire.
Whether they’re drawn to classical, pop, jazz, or music from games or films, I believe it’s
possible to build strong musical foundations by working with music they connect with. No
matter the style, we can explore technical, rhythmic, harmonic, and expressive aspects that
will contribute to their overall development and motivation.

✨My goal is to nurture a deep, joyful, and personal relationship with music in every student,
regardless of age, level, or background.✨
