Violin lessons Jazz / improvisation for (slightly) advanced students.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Have you always wanted to close the book?
Tried to improvise intuitively?
Take the challenge with yourself, you will see how fast you can take the first steps to improvisation!

Other styles such as Irish, Country / Bluegrass, Pop are also included in the lessons.

Most (classically trained) violinists have no experience in improvising.
This method is very accessible and will quickly familiarize you with this.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I'm Xander, I've been playing the violin all my life.
Soon after my first years of violin lessons I started playing with gypsies, where I learned jazz and gypsy music.
After that I also started to write my own music and have now recorded my first solo album "Out Of The Blue".

I perform a lot as a solo artist, but also in different companies in different music styles, and recently even Flamenco.

Recently the first book of my new violin method Creative Violin is ready.
This method is for beginners and includes classically different music styles such as Irish, Balkans, Gypsy Jazz ...
For me it is important to introduce the beginning violinist to music in the widest possible way.

Education

HAVO high school

Great teacher who quickly made me feel at ease. Has developed an interesting method to learn to play the new styles. I had stopped for almost 20 years after a classical training in which I got stuck. Now I have a lot of desire and motivation to play again. And I notice that learning these new styles also has a clear impact on my classical playing. I am very happy that I have taken this step and I am very curious about the next lessons.

Learn Violin the Right Way👌Expert violin teacher with 15 years of experience in all levels, from beginner to pro - simple yet effective app
With over a decade of experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels, I’ve developed a unique method that combines the essential skill of reading sheet music with learning to play basic tunes by ear. My approach is enhanced by a carefully curated selection of the most effective and engaging musical repertoire from around the world, offering students both a solid foundation and an enjoyable learning experience. Hi I'm Daniel and I've been teaching the violin with passion and dedication since 2010. I've probably taught over a hundred students of all ages, levels and walks of life, from very beginners and children to aspiring professionals and mature enthusiasts — I really enjoy working and interacting with everybody. I've been playing violin since I was six, and was lucky to have amazing teachers and exceptional musicians from Russia, Israel, Poland, and USA, who tutored and mentored me over the years, contributing to my knowledge of almost every possible technique, style, and method of playing of this complex and challenging instrument. I'm also a professional viola player and I could teach it happily as well. My diverse interest, passion, and experience in the musical world has led me to collaborate and perform with some renowned international artists in the classical, pop, folk, klezmer, jazz, and rock genres — some of these names would include Zubin Mehta, Mischa Maisky, Andres Mustonen, Lord of the Dance, Ariel Zilber, Giora Feidman, Omri Mor, Yonatan Razel.

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.

Sarah
Violin lesson for beginner, children, teenagers and adults.
I am a violin teacher currently studying with a distinguished violin teacher in Vienna, who has won prestigious prizes at Oleh Krysa International Violin Competition, the Michael Hill International Violin Competition, etc.... If you study with me, there may be an opportunity for you to work with my teacher, depending on your current violin level. For beginners, I teach using the Suzuki method and the Zhang Shi Xiang Progressive Violin Repertoire, focusing primarily on developing solid foundational techniques rather than solely building repertoire. I believe a strong technical foundation is essential for both professional musicians and amateurs. My teaching approach is informed by years of conscious practice, exploration of ''good'' playing, and stage performance experience. If you have specific requests or preferences regarding your lessons, I am happy to discuss and adapt to your needs. I have played the violin for many years and experience in both performing and teaching. My goal is to share the joy of music and inspire your passion for the violin.

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. 😊

The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes.
