Violin Lessons - All Levels - Classical and Jazz Improvisation

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello everyone,

Do you want to learn to play the violin or improve your skills? You are in the right place ! With my years of experience as a violin teacher in Belgium, France and New Zealand, I offer private lessons adapted to all levels.

I have been passionate about the violin since the age of 6. After graduating from the academy, I had the chance to study with Mr. Benderski, a talented Ukrainian teacher, to improve my skills. During the last 10 years, I have also played in various music groups, which has allowed me to develop a versatile approach to the instrument.

I love working with children and helping adults improve. My teaching method is based on understanding and listening to the needs of each student. I strive to create a positive and encouraging learning environment so that my students feel comfortable and progress at their own pace.

In addition to teaching classical repertoire, I am also proficient in jazz improvisation. I have played a lot of gypsy jazz on my travels, which has allowed me to develop skills in improvisation and jazz style. I am happy to share my passion and my knowledge in this field with my students.

Whether you are a beginner or want to improve, whether you want to play classical or venture into the world of jazz improvisation, I am here to accompany you on your musical journey.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information on my violin lessons. I will be happy to help you achieve your musical goals!

See you soon,

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Music is my passion and I teach with the aim of helping you develop a deeper relationship with your instrument. For me, art is the expression of what we have inside of us. It can sometimes allow us to exteriorize our frustrations and our fears. Unfortunately, too often in schools, we are locked into a rigid curriculum that does not take into account the aspirations of each learner. For my part, I consider art as a means of expression and self-discovery. I am not looking for students with special talents, but if you have a thirst for learning, then it is with pleasure that I will feed you with my knowledge!

My music lessons are designed to be adapted to your needs and your level, whether you are a beginner or want to improve your skills. I will help you develop the technical skills needed to play the violin or the guitar, as well as your own musical style. Whether you are interested in the classical repertoire or want to venture into other styles such as jazz improvisation, I am here to accompany you on your musical journey.

Let your passion for music guide you and express yourself through the art of playing. I am convinced that learning music can also be a quest for oneself. So, if you're hungry to learn, I'll be happy to help you satisfy that urge!

Raphael
Violin lessons, music theory, musical improvisation, chamber music
With 27 years of experience as a violin teacher, artist and composer, I transmit my love of music in a creative, playful and holistic way. I have developed a method that adapts to each student according to their needs, levels and desires. I attach great importance to creating a caring and relaxed atmosphere where the student can flourish and develop both a solid technique and learn self-confidence. We will also discuss how to work efficiently and calmly and we will develop the qualities necessary to express yourself freely with your instrument. We will talk about musicality, physical well-being (the importance of breathing!), attentive listening and we will take the time to explore while having fun. If necessary, the basics of music theory will be learned gradually. Although I have a classical background I enjoy teaching a variety of music (Celtic, folk, klezmer, tango, jazz, films...) and I encourage my students to discover the most beautiful melodies in the repertoire and sometimes even to improvise or compose together. I often play chamber music (piano/violin) or violin duets with my students. My course is aimed at anyone who has the time to work on their instrument, children from 4 or 5 years old, adolescents, seasoned amateurs, beginners or advanced adults... Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information. I look forward to meeting you very soon!

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.

Eleazar
Master the Basics of Violin: Build Strong Foundations for Freedom in Playing
Professional lessons in London for beginners and intermediate players of all ages. Hi, I’m Eleazar, and I’m here to help you discover (or rediscover) the art of playing the violin. My course focuses on building strong foundational skills and mastering the basics, essential for anyone starting out or looking to solidify their technique. My goal is to help you build the strong technical foundations that lead to freedom and joy in playing the violin while keeping the learning process fun and engaging. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate player, my lessons are designed to guide you through mastering the basics so that you can ultimately play with confidence and ease. What makes my teaching unique? 🎻 A Fresh Perspective on Violin Technique I had the privilege of studying with world-renowned violinist Zakhar Bron, and at the age of 21, I had to completely rework my violin technique. Because I learned it later in life, I can break down the essentials and explain them in a way that’s easy to understand—something most violinists, who learned their technique as young children, often struggle to do. Together, we’ll build the foundations that will allow you to play freely, rather than feeling restricted by technique. 🌍 Multilingual Lessons I’m a native French speaker and fluent in both Spanish and English. You can choose the language you’re most comfortable with, so we can focus entirely on making progress with your playing. 📍 Flexible Lessons in London or Online I offer lessons in person here in London, but I’m also available online if that suits your schedule better. My goal is to make violin lessons accessible, convenient, and enjoyable for everyone. 🎯 Tailored for Beginners and Intermediate Students My lessons are specifically designed to help you build a solid technical foundation, develop your sound so you can truly play freely and express yourself. You’ll leave each session feeling accomplished and confident. Slogan: "Build your foundation. Play with freedom. Enjoy the music."
