Violin Lessons in English for all levels: complete beginners welcome!
I believe in a holistic music teaching style! This means I teach music by ear and using sheet music. Ideally, my students will learn to enjoy making music with their instrument and be able to hear the progress they are making each week. We will learn how to read music, music theory, and musical pieces at your level. I always teach in a student-focused way: what the student gets excited about is what I will teach! I teach classical music, jazz and various kinds of folk music. I have taught children for several years and I have experience teaching people of all ages. I really look forward to teaching you and working with you! :)

About Me
I am a classically trained violinist and violist from the US. I was trained with the Suzuki method and I am currently obtaining my Suzuki teacher training. I believe in holistically training students to play their instruments so that playing music can become like a second language. I will teach both ear training and with sheet music. I will also teach music theory, sight-reading, rhythm and various other skills that are necessary for musicians.I will always focus on the student's needs and structure our lessons around what the student is most interested in. Not only do I play classical music but I have also been trained by some of the foremost folk and jazz violinists and musicians in the US and I will happily teach any genre from classical, to jazz to different kinds of folk music (Scottish, Irish, Old-time, bluegrass, etc.).
My students will walk away from our lessons feeling like they are making progress, feeling like they are learning a new way of looking at playing their instrument, and hopefully feeling excited and inspired :)
Education
I attended Oakland School for the Arts, a selective youth arts school. I graduated from Berkeley High School with a 3.9 GPA and having played in the jazz and orchestra programs there. I now attend university in Berlin.Experience / Qualifications
I have played violin seriously since I was 5 years old. I have years of experience teaching kids and I have also taught adults of all ages and all levels from beginner to advanced. I have extensive performance experience with chamber groups, chamber and symphony orchestras, as well as jazz big bands, jazz combos, and different arrangements of folk and jazz trios and quartets. I have released 2 albums with my Americana band, Jubilee with whom I have gone on tours and performed at several festivals across the US.

Master the Basics of Violin: Build Strong Foundations for Freedom in PlayingProfessional 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."

Innovative method and fast learning.Even if you are a total beginner looking to enter the magical world of music or if you want to improve your violin technique and develop your artistic potential, let's achieve your goals together, always with a smile, making this experience a joyful, vibrant and stimulating one. My teaching style is a mix of the Russian violin school and a fresh modern musical pedagogy approach.
Individual lessons plan for each student, according to your specific level, goals, and expectations.
Studying the violin can have interesting side-effects of personal development and usually helps to:
1. Establish a deeper relationship with music: being "in music"
2. Become more curious and competitive users: expanding an aesthetic sensitivity, widening the field of one's musical interests, refining the artistic taste
3. Express oneself (identity, relationship with one's emotions, self-narration)
4. Consolidate self-esteem by experiencing your limits
5. Build self-discipline, developing self-organization skills and a sense of responsibility
6. Learn to respect collective rules, integrate and collaborate with others in harmony, like in an orchestra.
7. Develop attention and concentration activities
8. Compose experiences of integration between mind and body, between affectivity, logic, and sensoriality
9. Refine perceptual and psychomotor skills (coordination, proprioception, body observation)
10. Develop analytical and cognitive skills
11. Develop expressive and creative attitudes

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.

Ester
Private violin lessons, Music Theory, Technical and Musical SkillsMy goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life.
I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University.
Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

Learn how to play the violin or the viola and how to read musicFeeling good with your body and listening to it, understanding where the sound comes from and how to produce it, learning the basics and how to read the notes and the score, learning tricks and daily exercises without the instrument to help you develop your agility and muscles, playing together duets to get closer to the chamber music world and to learn how to listen and collaborate with others. I think it's important to listen also to the student's requests and desires; if you have a tune or a piece that you would love to play we can work on it together.
Folk music is also an interesting way through which we can get closer to the instrument and the music world, playing traditional dances from different countries and discovering different music languages.
As every person has his own physiognomy and musculature, we will try to find together a correct and comfortable posture that better suits the student to create a connection with the instrument. Warming-up and taking care of our body is part of a musician's life (beginner, amateur or professional) and it is important to prevent injuries and muscle pain. Unfortunately this aspect is not often taken into account and for this reason I aim to transmit this value to my students.
