    Violin & Viola lessons: classical style from beginner to advanced

    Hello! My name is Julia, I am an American violist and violinist, and I teach in English and French. I just moved to Montpellier to join the Opera Orchestra of Montpellier as an Alto second soliste. I am a graduate of The Juilliard School, a former academist with the Kammerakademie Potsdam, and a former violist of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. I teach both viola and violin, from beginner to advanced levels, children and adults. I am also available for practice help sessions or one time coachings. I grew up learning through the Suzuki method, so I teach with an emphasis on developing a good ear as well as good instrumental technique. The most important thing I want my students to develop is a love for music in all its diverse forms and the instrumental technique that will allow them to involve themselves in that musical world! No matter what your goal is in taking lessons, I look forward to working with you or your child and discovering music together!

    Student Reviews:
    Gidget, 2021: Julia has been a phenomenal teacher. She is knowledgeable, patient, and very accommodating. I have been working with her since a very beginner level, and I have seen incredible progress. She has helped me prepare for auditions and to play in an orchestral environment as well. Could not recommend her more!

    Lauren 2019: My daughter loves Julia and has progressed so much in the past few months! Very engaging and professional

    Stephen 2019: Very inspiring!

    Violin lessons: Fun-Filled journey! Lessons for children and adults!
    Hello everyone! My musical journey began when I was just four years old, starting with the piano. Later, at the age of seven, I eagerly embraced the violin, adding its enchanting melodies to my repertoire. I achieved a professional mid-grade in both piano and violin. Fueled by my love for music, I moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands, to pursue a Bachelor's degree at Codarts University of Arts. Under the guidance of teachers like Natasha Morozova and Hed Yaron Meyerson, I refined my skills and nurtured my artistic vision. After completing my Bachelor's studies, I continued my musical exploration in Codarts' Master's program. Alongside my classical training, I've always been intrigued by the therapeutic potential of music. In 2023, I earned certification in Music Therapy, expanding my horizons and deepening my connection to the healing power of music. In collaboration with my colleagues, I am member of the Olga Trio. Our mission is to highlight the works of women composers throughout history. Our debut performance at the IV Concurso Nacional de Interpretación de Obras de Mujeres Compositoras was a proud moment, affirming our commitment to amplifying diverse voices in music. Beyond classical music, I've always been drawn to exploring different genres and styles. As a member of the Jong Metropole Orchestra in 2023, I relished the opportunity to collaborate with musicians from diverse backgrounds, pushing the boundaries of traditional musical conventions. In every note I play and every project I undertake, my passion for music shines through. It's a journey of exploration, growth, and discovery, and I'm excited to continue sharing my love for music with the world. I've been teaching during the last 8 years. I am flexible with the students needs and I embrace fun and creativity in my lessons.

    Violin lessons for beginners and advanced students
    Hello! My name is Denis, and I am a violinist currently pursuing my Master's degree in Classical Music. I've been playing the violin for many years and have a passion for teaching others to explore their own musical abilities. My lessons are adaptable to all levels, whether you are just beginning or already have some experience with the violin. In my classes, we will focus on developing proper technique and exploring a range of musical styles such as classical, folk, or even modern music. I incorporate music theory into lessons to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the pieces you are playing. Whether you're young or old, beginner or advanced, I tailor my teaching methods to suit each student's individual goals and learning style. If you are interested in playing with others, I also offer chamber music coaching for small groups. If you don’t yet have a violin, I can help you find one to buy or rent. Online lessons via Skype are also an option if you prefer remote learning. Let’s work together to develop your violin skills and create a personalized plan based on your musical interests and aspirations!

    Professional violinist is giving lessons of violin online! Learn to play violin and enjoy every lesson! 😊
    In this violin course you will learn a foundation in learning one of the most rewarding instruments in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Grip the bow, hold the violin, have the perfect hand position and enjoy playing the strings while learning how to read the notes, the violin rhythm and technique. Students will generally learn better if they feel a connection developing with their teacher, whether that’s through humour, showing care about their development, or making sure teacher devote time equally to all students when in a group. You will not regret. 😊
