Violin Lessons: From Beginner to Advanced – Traditional Method and Introduction to Improvisation

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
As a private violin teacher, my approach is primarily focused on the musical development of the student and adapting teaching to their needs and level. My approach combines technical rigor and creativity, with a particular emphasis on improvisation, in addition to classical foundations.

I offer a progressive and structured method, beginning with learning the fundamentals of the violin (technique, posture, music reading) through exercises adapted to each student. For advanced students, the emphasis is placed on interpretation, musicality, and the exploration of various styles, particularly jazz and world music. As the student progresses, I integrate elements of improvisation to develop their creativity and musical autonomy.

A typical class begins with a technical warm-up, followed by the study of a piece or specific exercise. Depending on the student's level, we may also cover more specific aspects, such as improvisation or musical analysis. I strive to create a caring and stimulating environment, where each student feels free to explore and progress at their own pace.

My classes are aimed at all levels, from beginner to advanced, and can be adapted to anyone wishing to learn to play the violin or to improve their technique, whether for a personal project or in preparation for a diploma.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Marvin Burlas, a passionate violinist and educator, has carved out his musical path with unwavering devotion and insatiable curiosity. Originally from the South-East of France, Marvin began his musical journey at the age of 5, diving into the meanders of classical music. However, his attraction to world sounds and jazz quickly emerged, igniting in him a fervent passion for improvisation.

This passion led him to exciting new horizons. His encounter with violinist Tcha Limberger was a turning point, leading him to the doors of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. There, alongside renowned masters such as Arnould Massart, Jean-Louis Rassinfosse and Manuel Hermia, Marvin perfected his art, exploring the nuances of jazz and expanding his repertoire.

In 2018, Marvin co-founded the Aleph Quintet with Akram Ben Romdhane, a daring ensemble blending jazz, groove and Arabic influences. The quintet quickly attracted attention with its captivating performances, mixing North African melodies, jazz improvisations, Gnawa rhythms and Sufi culture. The awards poured in, with prestigious distinctions such as the Tanit d'argent and the Dar Eyquem prize at the Journées Musicales de Carthage in 2019, as well as the first prize of the KR Découverte music press in 2021.

Over the years, the Aleph Quintet has conquered national and international stages, from festivals in France and Belgium to renowned showcases such as WOMEX and Visa For Music. Their first album, “Shapes of Silence”, released on Igloo Records, was named “revelation album” by Jazz Magazine. This will be the opportunity for him to meet Fabrizio Cassol, the famous saxophonist of Aka Moon, who will play on the album. A second album in live version will be released in May 2024. Aleph's second studio album will be released in April 2025.

But Marvin is not limited to the world of the violin. Alongside his career with the Aleph Quintet, he explores other facets of his art, even winning the 3rd prize for documentary music composition at the Semaine du Son in 2022.

As an educator, Marvin shares his passion and expertise with future generations. From the Chessy Music School to the Vareille Foundation and educational interventions in Belgium, he is fully invested in passing on his knowledge, guiding students on the path to creativity and musical fulfillment.

Through his musical journeys and educational endeavors, Marvin embodies the spirit of the complete artist, continually exploring new horizons while sharing his passion with the world.

We had a good first lesson. Mainly jazz but also a bit of classical technique. Marvin is more used to teaching in French but also speaks English and Spanish.

Private lessons of trumpet and solfege for all levels
I was a student for 6 years at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels while being accepted in one of the most prestigious conservatories in Belgium. In master 1 I had the pleasure of leaving for a year in Erasmus in Italy in Rome, artistic capital essential in particular musically. I have already taught the trumpet by giving private lessons and lessons can be done in French, English and Italian and also by webcam. I am currently an associate professor in a conservatory and a music school in France. My goal: to make you feel more than one with your instrument and to have fun when you practice it. Having known several pedagogical methods of teaching the trumpet across different countries, whether you are beginners, advanced, adults or children, amateurs or with the aim of becoming professional, I try to best adapt my different pedagogical knowledge according to your expectations. and above all without forgetting to share a maximum of musical happiness with you. Having finished the conservatory in music theory I can also give lessons in this subject. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me on the site. Hoping to share a musical path with you, see you soon. Thank you
