Holistic Violin and Viola Lessons with an International Teacher in Wiesbaden
From 57.16 £ /h
Are you interested in violin/viola lessons that are fun and enriching?
I have over 10 years experience as a violin and viola teacher and I have a master of Viola Performance and a Bachelor of Music in Violin & Viola Performance and Pedagogy. I have performed across the world, following the music to Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore, Germany, France, Austria, and Finland. I also compose my own music for myself and my students.
It is very important for me as a teacher to support my students to have freedom of self expression and a strong technical foundation on their instrument.
I want my students to love music and to love their instrument. We look into music history and listen to a wide range of musical styles. In each lesson I include an improvisation or composing activity so that every student is able to have the chance to share their musical identity and to gain self confidence.
In the lessons I encourage my students to analyse the music and to make their own solutions to practice: with younger children musical challenges become small games while for teenagers and adults they are musical puzzles to be solved.
I have a focus on freeing the body to play the violin as naturally as possible inspired by how Feldenkrais Technique helped me as a student. I know that it is much more enjoyable to practice when one is pain free and feeling balanced and relaxed. I include a small warm up routine into our lessons and am always careful to introduce new playing techniques with a relaxed posture.
Feeling nervous before any kind of public performance is normal and part of being a musician. I encourage all of my students to conquer their fear and to feel wonderful in their playing. It is so important to have a chance to play for others and to share music is a special gift. Visualising, memorising and breathing techniques are part of the confidence boosting preparations for students who would like to give performing a go.

About Me
Hi! I am a professional violist and violinist from Australia. I have lived in Germany for four years. In 2019 I undertook a scholarship year in Berlin as Brisbane Young Artist of the Year, and I returned to live in Nürnberg in 2021. I now live in Wiesbaden.
It is important to me that my students love music and enjoy their lessons and practice. I have a focus on technique but also to create our own music practice including improvisation and composition into our weekly lessons so that my students feel more confident and can freely express the music that they are learning.
