"Music is learned through music." (Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy)

Highly qualified violin (optionally viola) lessons. Well-founded technical structure based on natural motion sequences. Pieces of music of all styles. Music theory and sheet music learning with ease.
Playful lessons for children with colors, pictures and child-friendly methodology that is fun.
Differentiated musical design and technical refinement for adults.

I started teaching my first violin student when I was 16 years old. After graduating from high school, parallel to my music studies at the time, I began to teach violin at a youth music school in the Rhineland.
After completing my studies, I also taught at the youth music school in Aachen in addition to my private students. Since 2008 I have taught violin, viola, orchestral conducting and chamber music at the State Youth Music School in Hamburg and at the State Conservatory in Schwerin for many years. A large and loyal swarm of private students accompanied me for over 30 years. Taking care of this with hand and heart was and is a great pleasure for me.

About Me

My name is Birgit. I studied classical violin and chamber music at the Highschool for Music and Dance in Cologne and Royal Academy for Music, Maastricht (NL). My formative teachers were Prof. Hariolf Schlichtig (former viola player in the Cherubini Quartet), Prof. Charles-André Linale (former Primarius in the Orpheus Quartet) and Prof. Szreder (well known for his concerts with contemporary music).
I completed my three successive studies with a diploma for instrumental pedagogy, an artistic maturity exam and a chamber music exam with top marks. Since then I have been following a stream of further development in music and also personally, because for me standstill is unthinkable and lifelong learning is very fulfilling.
I can be heard regularly in concerts with various duo partners and ensembles. I have been doing classical chamber music for many years, plus gypsy music, klezmer and free improvisation.
I am very keen to experiment and I love "crossover" of all kinds with classic violin, improvisation and also electric violin.
I have now released 5 CDs with my own pieces, some composed - some improvised.

I taught my first violin student when I was 16 years old. After graduating from high school, I began teaching violin at a youth music school, parallel to my music studies at this time.
After completing my studies, I taught in addition to my private students at the youth music school in Aachen. Since 2008 I have been teaching violin, viola, orchestra conducting and chamber music at the State Youth Music School in Hamburg and at the State Conservatory in Schwerin for many years. A large and loyal swarm of private students accompanied me for over 30 years. Taking care of their development was and is a great pleasure for me.

I love to pass on the ability to play the queen of instruments, the violin, including her big sister, the viola.

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.

My methodology is to base myself on the courses in a structural and clear way, accessible to my learners to give them quality teaching and a total understanding of the courses in a cordial and satisfying atmosphere.
My method is very simple, I start by teaching you the most common and most used words and expressions. Then slowly the formation of sentences, conjugation, grammar but also how to pronounce each word well and know their positions in the sentence.
Thanks to my very simple and effective teaching methodology, the student can form sentences in Wolof very easily from our first lesson.

Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal, Gambia where it has been enriched with contributions from other dialects, Arabic and French, which remains the official language. It is experiencing cultural expansion in the country and is also present in Gambia and Mauritania.

So to facilitate your integration into Senegalese society; it is essential to use this language because it is the vernacular language although there are several beautiful local Senegalese languages but Wolof remains the most used language. This is why I offer myself to teach the beauty of this language which is my specialty and my mother tongue, I also teach Senegalese and Gambian culture and civilization.

Learning Wolof offers anyone who wishes to know Senegal, in a professional, cultural or tourist context, the opportunity to establish privileged contact with its population.

I would also like to inform my learners that apart from online courses, I organize language visits and tours in Senegal; for those who wish to travel to practice and discover Senegal with special packages.

DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK A COURSE DIRECTLY SO THAT I CAN EXPLAIN AND INTRODUCE YOU TO THE WOLOF LANGUAGE.

I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)!

I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying.

Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together.

All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level.

Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like.

Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.
