Violin, Viola, and Recorder Private Lessons Beginner-Advanced

I teach private violin, viola, and recorder lessons either in person or online, and I have taught private students for the past six years. I tailor lessons specifically to student goals, and I want students to notice that they are reaching their desired goals after taking lessons with me. I provide all students with a safe and supportive learning environment in order to achieve the best results.

Extra information

Since I am also a performer, my lesson availability is subject to change due to rehearsal and concert scheduling. I perform professionally with the San Antonio Philharmonic, and I also play as part of various events (ex. weddings, funerals, church services).

As a Vienna-based, internationally active violinist and chamber musician, I completed my concert exam at the State University of Music Trossingen (Germany) and am currently studying at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK). With a master's degree from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW), I have been helping people discover the joy of the violin through shared music-making—whether in lessons, chamber music, or on stage—since my student days! From beginner to professional musician, from the practice room to the concert hall—I understand both the challenges and the magic of learning music! Whether you're just starting out, looking to refine advanced techniques, preparing for exams, or simply playing for pure enjoyment, I’ll guide you with my passion and experience! :)

Professional Violin Lessons for Beginners and Intermediates: Technical, Theoretical and Expressive Development, with a Personalized Approach
This violin course is designed for beginners and intermediate students, and aims to develop the essential technical and musical skills for playing smoothly and expressively. The program includes learning the fundamentals of violin playing, such as correct posture, grip, and producing a clear tone. You'll work on scales and arpeggios to develop your dexterity, as well as bowing techniques to master different stroke patterns. Sheet music reading, musical analysis, and music theory practice are integrated into the course to strengthen your theoretical knowledge and music-reading skills. Alongside this, you'll explore a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical works to more contemporary pieces, and will have the opportunity to work in a group to improve your listening and coordination with other musicians. The course also includes personalized guidance to structure your practice and prepare you for performances, with an emphasis on musical expression and managing stage fright. My approach aims to make each student independent and to encourage their musical development in a caring and motivating environment.

Turkish reed flute is an essential instrument of Turkish Classcial Music. It has a deep and dense culture dating from 13. century around. If you want to learn about how to perform it you first need a teacher educated by masters on this field.

So for beginners and intermediate students must follow a compotent tutor to learn about the way of classic form.
