Together, we can learn various techniques, enrich our knowledge of music and choose a repertoire you like.

    Learning to Play the Violin (and piano 😁) Together!
    Hello! My name is Katerina, and I invite everyone who wants to learn this magical instrument—kids and adults alike—to join my violin lessons. I have the experience: I graduated with honors from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, taught gifted children in Minsk, and am currently studying at the Basel Academy of Music in Switzerland. Whether you're an aspiring virtuoso or just want to play for pleasure, all are welcome! The main thing is a desire to learn; we’ll master the rest together. Lessons are friendly and relaxed, with a bit of patience, a bit of persistence—and soon, the music will start flowing! In addition to violin, I also offer beginner piano lessons for both children and adults—perfect for those who want to explore another beautiful instrument.

    Violin and viola lessons with you or me
    Hello! I am pleased to be able to introduce myself briefly and share my passion with you. I am passionate about honest, inclusive and exciting instrumental lessons, which can also be humorous. As a child, I was able to enjoy such lessons with my first teacher, so that at the age of eight I decided to become an instrumental teacher myself. I would like to ignite this fire in my students too - as long as they want it, of course. Just being human, enjoying music together and learning an instrument at the same time. Self-discovery learning is very important to me. But you don't just learn the violin/viola, you also learn how to make music. I am still young and in the middle of my Master's degree here in Bern, where I have been giving private lessons for the last six months and am constantly learning something new - you never stop learning. I was able to gain further experience in Austria during my Bachelor's degree. This included two years of teaching experience at three music schools as part of my degree. Through my studies, private lessons and substitute teaching, I have also had the opportunity to gain experience with all age groups. I look forward to your message! Kind regards Raphael

    Violin lessons and music theory lessons for all ages and all levels
    As a violinist for 21 years now, 12 years at the conservatory and 9 years as a private teacher, I offer quality lessons adapted to your level. We'll focus on technique (scales, etudes) but we'll also look at a few tricks to improve your playing. It's advisable to do some music theory on the side to be able to read notes and rhythm properly. I can help you with that too. I'm very patient and gentle. I can come to your place, but I can also give lessons by videoconference.

    Hanna unterrichtet Violine, Viola, Solfeggio und Kammermusik in Basel.
    In my career, my life is frozen, my Lust, my Motivation, and my Ratschläge, my life is erroneous. Even though the settings are individual and personal, the programs are different. Since I have been teaching violin and music, not a day has gone by without me saying to myself that motivation and pleasure are the greatest drivers of learning. This is why I always favor a relaxed and work-friendly atmosphere during my classes. Technique is of course of great importance to me. I teach musical initiation, music theory and the viola which I practiced in chamber music and of course the violin, my main instrument with which I perform in several orchestras and ensembles.

    Toby
    Violin lessons, intermediate - advanced (in English, German or Russian)
    I am a professional violin and viola teacher based in Zurich, teaching in person at students' location or online, in English, German or Russian. (Reviews below) As well as instrumental teaching and ensemble coaching of at all levels over the last 12 years, I’ve led numerous professional workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ workshops in London and was an assistant on the Primary Arpeggione viola course and at the Springgrove music competition. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I participated in their conferences across Europe. I have prepared students for music exams at all levels, working with them on music theory, aural and sight reading skills, and regularly accompany students on the piano. As a performing musician, I perform internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, recently including at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and Philharmonie in Berlin. I’m a Tillett Trust and Villa Musica artist, winner of the Małopolska competition, Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition. I hold a masters degree with first class honours from the class of Tabea Zimmermann at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, and Bachelors with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London. * Reviews * Stephanie W. Toby is an outstanding instructor and works with children very naturally. My 11 year old son has been taking lessons with Toby for over two months and is eager for each lesson. Toby is extremely talented, but beyond that, he engages my son deeply with the music itself, fundamental techniques, music theory, and even the interpretation of the music. Toby is kind, encouraging, and works with students at a level that is appropriate. He has allowed my son to chose music that if fun and interesting to practice, even though the pieces are challenging. In fact, I often sit in to listen to the lessons, as they are so good. My son has had a couple of lessons with Toby while company has been over, and everyone has commented on how amazing Toby is as an instructor. I can not recommend Toby enough and hope to continue lessons with him for a long time. Pamela B. Toby is really a great teacher who teaches the pieces well and brings out more of the feeling in the playing. We particularly liked that. Good technique is one thing, but feeling the music is such an important element in music and learning a piece of music. He also teaches theory very well! Tatyana M. Toby is a fantastic teacher. He is very reliable as he is consistently organised and punctual. I constantly see progress in my child’s music skills because every lesson Toby delivers is effective and well-structured. I highly recommend him to all who wish to learn or improve on their music skills. Shaun W. Knowledgeable and frank, Toby was able to provide me with crucial information quickly and efficiently. Hanna S. Toby can explain things very well and understandably, is patient and friendly and easily adapts to the student's level. Jacques R. Toby is an excellent tutor with top teaching skills..he teaches music theory in a way my 12 year old son understands the lesson easily; Toby is very attentive

    Clémence
    - Piano and Violin lessons for all ages -
    Hello, I offer private Piano and Violin lessons, for all ages and all levels (beginners, intermediates or more advanced) in the region of Saint-Louis, Huningue, Village-Neuf, and Basel, from September 2023. I introduce myself: I am Clémence, a musician graduated from the Manchester Conservatory (Bachelor of Arts degree) and from the Basel Conservatory (Master of Performance). I also started music with the Piano, which I continued for 9 consecutive years before devoting myself entirely to the Violin. My method is to adapt to each of you, in response to your personal goals. Whether it's for the pleasure of discovering the instrument, to play together, or even to help you achieve a specific objective (preparation for musical exams, concerts...). For the youngest children, depending on their age, I offer more fun activities to discover music, in the form of musical awakening for example. My main experience has been teaching children and adolescents (between 6 and 14 years old), but I am also interested in teaching adults. I hope to meet you very soon! Clemency
