Violin, Viola and Elementary Piano lessons for children and adults

From 51 £ /h

I have more than seven years of experience in teaching violin, viola, music theory and complementary piano, so no matter what level you are, I can teach you from the ground up. I specialized in classical music but I can also help you to play and learn your favorite songs.
I find it very important to connect mind and body with the instrument, so I like to emphasize from the beginning on relaxation and proper postures to avoid pain or contractions later on. I like to develop a series of relaxation and stretching exercises before and at the end of each class.
I believe that music should be a source of joy and enjoyment before anything else. I don’t have a definite method, as I think I have to adapt to the needs and aptitudes of each student. I can give individual and group lessons (no more than 4 people), so I can also work with small groups.

Extra information

You must have your own instrument, if you don't I can also advise you to find the best option to buy or rent.

About Me

My name is Angelica, I’m 30 years old and I’m a Cuban violist living in Vienna since three years ago. I finished my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Arts in Havana, then I came to Austria to continue my studies.
As a teacher I am patient and like to motivate my students.
I like to help each student learn how to do effective individual study.
I have experience playing with professional orchestras in my country and with small chamber music formats, as well as teaching violin and viola at the Vocational School of Art in the city of Holguin.
