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

I was the first violinist to graduate in Light Music in the Netherlands.

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.

Violin class new style according to a completely new method: "Creative Violin" In addition to classic, you will immediately learn many different musical styles such as Irish, Country, Jazz, Pop ... You even learn to improvise, from lesson 1! Improvisation and intuitive play stimulate creativity enormously. This is very easy to learn and fun! Play along with videos and accompaniments that have already been recorded in advance.

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

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.

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.

Viola
Learn how to play the violin or the viola and how to read music
Feeling 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.
