    Violin Lessons Tailored to Meet Your Needs: From Beginner to Advanced

    I specialize in teaching the violin for every age, both children and adults. I am a professional violin player, with over 40 years of experience and I have been actively performing on Japan's elite music arena. The very unique element of my violin lessons is that unlike other music schools, you will learn how to play violin from a professional musician who is active in Tokyo’s music scene. I also offer students special insight into performance, such as how to interact with the public or how to convey emotion to your audience. I have 10 years of experience in teaching music both in Japan and my native country, Romania.

    I offer four types of courses:
    1) Introduction Program: My first notes for complete beginners (children or adults) where I teach violin fundamentals.

    2) Basic Program for violin beginners and for intermediate violin players who wish to refresh their technical skills. Some of the techniques taught in this program are bow fundamentals, advanced bowing, vibrato, color, and tones, posture, etc.

    3) Custom Program: for any type of student, especially when preparing for a music competition, a concert or whether you wish to improve a specific part of your violin technique.

    4) Special Program: Gypsy Violin Sound for learning all the valuable insights of the Gypsy style that I acquired throughout his long career as a Django jazz musician. Both amateurs and professional violinists are more than welcomed to take this course. The repertoire will be adapted to your level.

    Feel free to contact me with any questions about my classes.

    About Me

    I am a professional freelance Gypsy violinist in Tokyo. I have been performing in Japan for over 20 years, making a name for myself while performing for elite hotels and restaurants in Tokyo, such as Andaz, Hyatt Centric, Tableaux and high-end events. I come from a renowned Gypsy musician family from Romania. Thanks to my heritage, I have mastered the Gypsy technique and I am known in Tokyo for playing django and gypsy jazz style.

    I have been teaching violin for over 10 years, in both Romania and Japan. I especially enjoy teaching children (as I used to have my own music school based in Shirokane Takanawa during my first years in Tokyo) and also helping adults brush up their skills or learn how to play gypsy jazz.

    I speak fluent English and native Romanian. I can also speak a bit of Japanese and understand some Japanese.

    Education

    I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the National University of Music in Bucharest, Romania, from where I also received my recognition as a music teacher for all the ages. Before that, I have graduated the George Enescu high school in Bucharest where I was taught violin by a renowned Romanian violin professor, Mircea Constantinescu

    Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
    I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup. I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.
