Cello lessons and Solfege. Teaching classical and popular music, jazz and traditional Balkan music with a lot of improvisations!
Hello, I'm Vartan, a cellist with a great orchestral experience.
Before moving to Geneva, I worked for over twenty years in the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Belgrade (SORTS). I have also performed at the Belgrade Opera, in many chamber ensembles and musicals. In parallel, I went to classes in jazz, world music and ethno (Balkan music) where I learned different rhythms and improvisation which helped me to develop my understanding of classical music and music in general. I will try to pass all this experience on you and beside improving your techniques, I will try to help you to understand music better!

About Me
I approach each student individually, of course, but the ultimate goal is music as a universal language. The technique of playing an instrument is very necessary, but only for the purpose of being able to express ourselves as well as possible in musical speech. Music can be approached using a mathematical or physics method, but with a note that there are no exact rules, that is, we are the ones who create those rules or tasks and at the same time we find a solution, and that is the beauty of music itself. In other words, absolute freedom in creating a new or another dimension.Education
Cellist graduate of the Faculty of Music, University of Belgrade, in the class of Professor Sandra BelićSince 1996, active participation in music workshops (Music workshop) of improvisation: jazz, classical and world music, led by Vojin Draškoci, double bass player, composer and arranger, in which he regularly taught
Bojan Zulfikarpašić pianist and composer, Julien Lourau saxophonist, Zvonko Tot guitarist and arranger, Mladen Jagušt conductor, etc.
Experience / Qualifications
I worked for over twenty years in the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Belgrade (SORTS). I have also performed at the Belgrade Opera, in many chamber ensembles and musicals.Since I came to Geneva, I have also been playing very different styles of music. Among the classical ones, I single out the musical group "Les Perles des Balkans" and the cello orchestra "Leman Cellos". Other bands range from reggae to jazz and afro styles.
Also, both in Belgrade and here, I give private lessons, for a time I had a class at the Maison des Arts "La Julienne".
I am a member of AMR in Geneva.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI 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.
