    About Me

    I am a passionate musician, a believer that through (smart) work and persistence, one can achieve his/hers objectives. Teaching is a big passion of mine and I want to pass on to others my enthusiasm for music and violin playing.

    Music bio:
    I was born in Porto, Portugal, and began studying the violin at the age of 3
    thtough the Suzuki method. My passion for music has led me to some of the most wonderful concert halls arounf the world, including in Portugal, the USA, UK, Spain, Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, China and Mozambique. I regularly collaborate with the Polska Filharmonia Baltycka and I have also performed with the Opera Baltycka, Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Music, Orchestra XXI, Concertgebouworkest, London Philharmonic Orchestra Foyle Future Firsts, among other orchestras.

    I was introduced to the violin through Suzuki method in Porto with Joana Sybert, at the time having also some additional tuition from American Suzuki specialist Betty Haag. I joined the Porto Music Conservatory, where I continued studying with José Paulo Jesus and Tatiana Afanasieva. I later completed my Bachelors in London, at Trinity College of Music, as a Leverhulme Fellow Trust scholar, in the class of teachers Diana Cummings, Matthew Trusler and Clare Thompson. I finished my master's degree in musical performance in the class of professor Radu Ungureanu, at ESMAE, Porto. Throughout my musical training, I participated in several specialization courses and masterclasses, learning from notable violinists such as Vasko Vassilev, Agata Szymczewska, Yuri Zhislin, Gilles Apap, Thomas Christian, Gregory Ahss and Alberto Lysy.

    Violin lessons, music theory, musical improvisation, chamber music, musical awakening
    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!

    Crea
    Violin Classes, Piano Classes, and Music Theory Classes
    I have been teaching violin, piano, and music theory for over 10 years, during which I have developed a comprehensive understanding of music education and honed my ability to inspire and motivate students. My undergraduate and masters degrees in Music from Berklee College of Music and Trinity College Dublin provided a solid foundation in both music theory and performance, which I have built upon through extensive practical teaching experience. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with students of various ages and abilities, from beginners to advanced learners, and have tailored my teaching methods to suit their individual needs. I am deeply passionate about creating a positive, engaging learning environment where students can discover the joy of music and develop their musical skills. I foster an inclusive classroom atmosphere that encourages students to explore their creativity while ensuring that every learner feels supported and valued, regardless of their background or ability

    Ester
    Private violin lessons, Music Theory, Technical and Musical Skills
    My 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.

    Katie
    Violin or piano lessons to inspire, balancing technique and musicality
    I aim to strike a balance as much as possible between teaching technical skills and musicality, as of course there cannot be one without the other when learning an instrument. Lessons are a mixture of teaching and demonstrating correct posture, finger patterns or body movements, and teaching and engaging a learner with rhythm, pitch and melody, and then combining them together. I am a firm believer in tackling one aspect at a time in lessons and gradually combining it with another aspect of playing. I often include activities such as playing a note and asking the student to match my pitch or sound quality, or including musical games that can develop musical memory and rhythm. The most important aspect of learning any instrument is of course the music! Aiming to help a student find music (or if they have ideas they are welcome to bring them along!) that they love and find absorbing - this can be any genre, as long as it has a tune! I have a variety of books of different levels that I can use to help students find styles that are fun and enjoyable for them. There are technical things that need to be worked on in playing any instrument - but of fundamental importance is that the student has a feel for the music they play and a musical idea of what the end goal of any piece is.

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.
