Hello! I am Christian, graduated from the
Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes with a Master degree in Harmony. Playing violin is a good way to express yourself and I would love to guide you on how to play violin in a fun way. Students of all ages and levels are welcome!

Enjoying is the most important thing when playing violin, so I like to choose pieces that match the level and interest of the student. Of course you can bring pieces of your own choice as well! If you don't have much music theory knowledge that is fine, we can include that in the lesson as well. I look forward to working on fun pieces with you and discovering the music!

Welcome to my Spanish class, where we will explore the fascinating world of the Spanish language and the rich cultural diversity that accompanies it.
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. Learning Spanish gives you access to a wide global community, from Spain to Latin America and beyond.
I have years of experience working with foreigners as a Spanish teacher.
It is a pleasure for me to share my language and my culture with the rest of the world

I specialize in teaching the violin for every age, both children and adults. I am a professional violin player, with over 40 years of experience and I have been actively performing on Japan's elite music arena. The very unique element of my violin lessons is that unlike other music schools, you will learn how to play violin from a professional musician who is active in Tokyo’s music scene. I also offer students special insight into performance, such as how to interact with the public or how to convey emotion to your audience. I have 10 years of experience in teaching music both in Japan and my native country, Romania.

I offer four types of courses:
1) Introduction Program: My first notes for complete beginners (children or adults) where I teach violin fundamentals.

2) Basic Program for violin beginners and for intermediate violin players who wish to refresh their technical skills. Some of the techniques taught in this program are bow fundamentals, advanced bowing, vibrato, color, and tones, posture, etc.

3) Custom Program: for any type of student, especially when preparing for a music competition, a concert or whether you wish to improve a specific part of your violin technique.

4) Special Program: Gypsy Violin Sound for learning all the valuable insights of the Gypsy style that I acquired throughout his long career as a Django jazz musician. Both amateurs and professional violinists are more than welcomed to take this course. The repertoire will be adapted to your level.

Feel free to contact me with any questions about my classes.

As a violin teacher, my goal is to create a positive learning environment while cultivating the student’s love for music. I believe in developing music-reading as well as ear-training skills in my student’s music education. I work hard to tailor each lesson to meet the individual student’s musical goals, level and learning style. I have experience teaching students from age 3 to adult and from absolute beginner to college-level students. As a conservatory trained violinist, I teach a solid foundation in violin technique, theory and repertoire. I currently maintain a private violin studio in Yokohama and one in my home in Kawasaki. I can teach in both English and Japanese. Learning to play the violin is a lifelong process. Music can lead us to new opportunities, meet interesting people and travel to unique places. Everyone can learn to play the violin. It is never too late to start! I look forward to being a part of you or your child’s musical journey.
