About Me

Hi,
I'm Petra, a 29 years old artist from Indonesia who lives in Geneva, Switzerland. I grew up in Ambon in the Moluccas, in an Artist Community where we use to organize Street Art and Visual Poetry exhibitions almost every two months. Give me a pencil, I will sketch a delicate miniature. Give me sprays or colors, I will make your walls come alive by filling them with deep forests and colorful birds.

Beside this, I teach my native Indonesian language, in a fun and artistic way, by focusing on communication without forgetting the form (in both colloquial and standard languages).

I can teach in both Indonesian and English languages (and also in basic French), whether at my own place, at yours or on line. Just contact me so we can start work together.

Petra

Donnez-moi un crayon, je vous dessine une délicate miniature. Donnez-moi des sprays et des couleurs, je rendrai vos murs pleins de vie en les remplissant de profondes forêts et d'oiseaux multicolores.

À côté de cela, j'enseigne l'indonésien qui ma langue maternelle d'une manière amusante et artistique, en me concentrant sur la communication sans oublier la forme (aussi bien dans la langue parlée habituelle que dans la langue écrite standard.

PLACES, FEES - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Violin lessons for all Fr / Ang (solfeggio included).
As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship. As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years. Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument! I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra. In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)
