Violin lessons, from absolute beginner to professional level.

From 42.87 £ /h

Hello! I am a professional violinist and have a passion for music, especially classical though I also love jazz and other styles. I teach people of every age and experience and from absolute beginner to conservatoire level and beyond.
I love working with children and for the past three and a half years I was working full time in Glasgow city primary and secondary schools, teaching individually, in groups, coaching chamber music ensembles and conducting the council orchestras (winning 1st prize, School Orchestra Category, Glasgow Music Festival 2018). My students so far have achieved 100% pass rate in state SQA exams in Scotland and in all ABRSM exams).
Lessons are tailored to the individual needs of the students, and I believe that we learn most effectively when we are having fun! Hopefully I can help you or your child on your/their musical journey!

I am a young Italian professional cellist with 23 years of study and professional experience. I have been living in Paris for four and a half years. I earned a Bachelor's degree from the Turin Conservatory, then specialized in Baroque music in Paris, completing advanced studies at the Paris Conservatory, a Master's degree from the Versailles Conservatory, and a second Master's degree in Classical and Romantic music from the Saintes Conservatory (Abbaye aux Dames). I work with several renowned European early music ensembles such as Le Concert Spirituel, Accademia Bizantina, Les Ombres, and La Chimera. I was a semi-finalist in the prestigious MA Competition 2021 in Bruges. I also play modern music, and with my solo cello and electronic music project, I have had the opportunity to participate in major Italian festivals. In France, I regularly work with the French chanson trio Melquiades.

I offer cello lessons for all levels and all styles (classical cello, baroque cello and modern cello), with the possibility of following the lessons at home, by webcam or at home, in French, Italian and English.

The method that I adopted in my studies and that I teach is Suzuki: working on the student, nourishing his environment with stimuli and simultaneously developing his artistic and technical maturity, his morality and his character.
I also believe in group work, the possibility of playing with friends or colleagues, so I often suggest creating small ensembles to share and learn good music with others.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

For students preparing for entrance exams to the higher conservatory or a diploma in auditory education/musical training or even for students wishing to refine their auditory skills.

I was able to develop exercises and work on auditory analysis in my piano and music training classes, and I prepared several candidates (with good results!) for the music training and auditory education tests as part of access to a higher education center.

Always in joy and good humor, with the hand of rigor and study, I will be delighted to accompany you on this musical journey.

Methodology :

I use Mathieu Crickboom's Violin method with which I started the violin myself, in addition I use duets as well as studies and concertos that I propose according to the level and desires of the student, it will also be possible that the pieces practiced come from you, which I will enhance with a technical and musical framework. For the very young, I use an appropriate violin method, color games and a fun approach to reading notes allowing you to learn the basics of music without knowledge of mathematics or reading French.

I rely on the advice and knowledge that I have developed during my progression with the Professors, Instrumental Groups and Public Figures that I have frequented as well as on my interest in pedagogy and my monitoring of Master Classes on other students and myself to best promote the progress of each one.
During my Master's in Didactics, completed with Great Distinction in Namur, Belgium, I considered an approach to the psychology and sociology of learning the violin.
This approach is as much in the search for the aesthetics of sound and the work of the ear as in the proprioception and the harmonious bodily feeling necessary for the practice of the violin.
The search for playfulness and the pleasure of discovery takes an important aspect in my pedagogy and influences my methodological approach. Progress will be made at each person's pace, and with as much playfulness as possible.

My teaching experience:

I have been giving private tutoring since around 2016, all ages and levels (from 5 to 60, from beginner to advanced level).
I have done numerous replacements in approved conservatories in the Paris region, as a violin teacher, notably Les Lilas, Melun, Maisons-Alfort, Alfortville, Asnières s/seine, and am currently a replacement at the Saint Mandé conservatory.
I taught in an ASBL (independent conservatory) in Belgium for a few months, and completed 90 hours of supervised teaching internships as part of the Master's in Didactics.
I am currently a teacher in a private music school in Raincy and Drancy.

My professional experience is rich in the study of the great concertos of the repertoire, as well as a significant Chamber Music repertoire. I was called to the podium of the Royal Opera of Liège in 'I Lombardi' and 'Falstaff' by Verdi as well as at the Soirées Lyriques de Sanxay in 'La Bohème' by Puccini in 2023-2024.

I currently hold a Master's in Instrumental Studies validated with Distinction in 2023 and a Master's in Didactics/Pedagogy validated in 2024 with Great Distinction in the class of Julien Eberhardt, soloist of the Liège Opera as well as Gilles Millet, of the Danel Quartet and Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt, internationally renowned pianist.

- Holder of a Master's degree in Didactics/Pedagogy specializing in violin at IMEP in Namur in 2024
- Holder of a Master's degree in Instrumental violin specialization at IMEP in Namur in 2023
- Finalist at the Festivals de Wallonie at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Charleroi in 2021, Trio with Piano and Cello.
- Former student at the Pôle Supérieur de Paris-Boulogne (PSPBB) in a dual-course Violin/Musicology degree in conjunction with the Sorbonne.
- 1st Prize at the Hong Kong International Music Competition in 2018, Solo Violin, Mendelssohn Concerto.
- Holder of a DEM (Diploma of Musical Studies) in Violin at the CRR d'Aubervilliers in 2016.
- DEM Cycle of Musical Training at the CRR in Paris followed from 2014 to 2017 (Improvement of theoretical mastery).

My educational approach is based on three pillars:
- instrumental practice (80% of the time),
- practice of music theory adapted to the harmonica (10% of the time),
- and knowledge of Harmony (10% of the time),
The student will use these three axes thanks to the musical supports offered.
A space will be dedicated to you for the storage of these media.

My concert experience (50 per year) represents a major asset in supervising students.
This asset is complemented by my extra-musical experience, since I managed a computer training center and provided training.
In this context, I was trained in interpersonal communication (Transactional Analysis and NLP)

My instrumental pedagogy is not based, as tradition dictates, on teaching in the same way as I was taught.
When you start learning a musical instrument, you rarely think about a career as a musician.
Therefore, my primary goal is not to train career musicians, but rather to educate musically through sustained learning of the instrument.
It is essential to remember that learning a musical instrument aims first and foremost to develop a taste for music and to know how to communicate that music speaks to the life of feeling.

The Harmonica is essentially an instrument dedicated to improvisation
My program addresses issues related to improvisation from the very beginning of learning.
To arrive at an understanding of what is at stake in the practice of improvisation in all its complexity, it is necessary to have a global approach (music theory and harmony).

Improvisation allows you to approach the interpretation of the theme of a piece.
Playing on a playback is therefore essential.

Ludmilla, concert pianist, recognized by her peers, György Cziffra, Tatiana Nikolaeva, Magda Tagliaferro, first prize in piano at the Conservatory at 16 years old.
Cziffra Foundation at 15 years old with the gold medal. Obtained the Teaching Aptitude Certificate.

My teaching/
I give my lessons in such a way as to appreciate the quality of each student, to work on pleasant pieces, adapted to their level and their tastes, to discover a new repertoire in order to allow them to play pieces by highlighting French classical musicians such as Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Satie, Séverac, Poulenc....

Discover less classical music (dodecaphonic, minimalism, neo-classical, variety, jazz).
I am driven by a desire to share and I accompany my lessons with an introduction to each work that is both scholarly and playful.

This welcome contextualization for students often far removed from classical music is likely to facilitate accessibility to the great piano repertoire.

I stand out for my human qualities: adaptability, listening, respect for differences, curiosity about the Other and others in a context of great cultural and social otherness.

My lessons are for pianists of all ages, and all levels are welcome: beginner, intermediate, intermediate, advanced, amateur, and professional. Seniors are welcome.

Marie-Anne, Tax Lawyer “It was wonderful”

Ludmilla. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your art and passion! It was wonderful. Ludmilla, truly, "I have rarely met someone so passionate about their art." And truly thank you for the generosity with which you shared with me the richness of the pieces you worked on!! It's so powerful.
Pentecost, Paris, piano course, 3 intensive days in Paris, 3 days of sharing and enthusiasm.

-Ludmilla is not only a talented pianist but also an outstanding teacher.
She possesses all the qualities: patience, clarity, liveliness of mind; moreover she goes to the bottom of things: everything is worked with great attention to detail and musicality. It is truly a great privilege to be directed by her in piano work. Catherine

- Ludmilla is an incredible teacher, with a great teaching style. Her working method helps you progress a lot. Maud

-Coming to the piano late and not having access to the academic teaching of the French conservatories which stubbornly close their doors to adults who come knocking at their doors; I decided to boost my meager baggage with a piano course, a course organized by Ludmilla international pianist. On the program: preparation of the pieces; work on the pieces with Ludmilla, proposal of work for 4 hands; proposal of improvisation on the piano. Ludmilla is an excellent teacher by her requirement in addition to a precise organization on the course; great attention, precious advice on technique, rhythm, musicality, interpretation but above all a teaching with a lot of kindness and sensitivity, and what does not spoil anything, a lot of humor. Ludmilla knew how to put herself at my level, me beginner pianist student. She knew how to give me keys to follow my pianistic path while very generously sharing her musical universe. I thank her very warmly and I advise amateur and professional students to follow her excellent teaching method. Anne France

- Huge thanks for your very rich lessons, Ludmilla. Thank you for your patience and your investment in illuminating my score and helping me better understand these magnificent works. I really appreciated it. Sorry I wasn't able to put this into practice at the audition, but with work and attention paid to each phrase, it should gradually improve. Laure

-Ludmilla. Thank you with all my heart for sharing your lessons. It's fabulous. Ludmilla, I have rarely met a person, an international artist so passionate about their art. And really thank you for the generosity with which you have sent me the pieces you have worked on!! It's so powerful. Véronique

- Inspiring, Ludmilla is a concert pianist and teacher who is clearly part of the elite in the professional piano field. Her methodological approach (intelligence of fingerings, work on different voices, diversity of repertoire, etc.) allows rapid progress in learning works and overcoming all the difficulties encountered (techniques, interpretation, etc.). This in-depth work allows you to keep the pieces in your repertoire for a long time, to gain confidence and to ensure beautiful performances in public (auditions, concerts, competitions, etc.). I warmly recommend Ludmilla to all pianists, whether amateurs, students or professionals. Christian

- Ludmilla has great teaching skills and I have made enormous progress with this teacher who has won several major prizes. Ludmilla is a perfectionist and she works on technique, sight-reading and knows the pieces that suit us. In seven years, I have a large repertoire and I play in institutions. A teacher with great patience and great teaching skills. I recommend her immediately. Lucile

Would you like to learn to play the violin, or are you a beginner looking to improve? Then you've come to the right place. I've been passionate about playing the violin since I was 7 and have taken regular lessons myself for many years. As a former student at a music grammar school who graduated from the violin school, I've played in various symphony orchestras and collaborated with people of all ages. So, if you just want to learn the basics, need practical tips, or need accompaniment to practice challenging two-part pieces, I'm here for you.
