Violin/ Viola lessons, Preparatory music for children

Making music is an opportunity that everybody should have in their life. Personally, I think it is a beautiful and alternative way of communication, which opens up new horizons of empathy and it carries important values such as respect and understanding towards others.
Being able to play an instrument gives great satisfaction, allows us to have fun, and trains our brain for the complexity of combining the mental and physical spheres at the same time!

About Me

Hi!
I'm Elena and I'm 29, I started to play violin when I was 10 and I'm a professional musician, violin and viola teacher and preparatory music teacher for children. My philosophy is that I like to combine my professional music carrier with teaching because I trust that you can't be a good teacher if you're not a good musician, and in the same time for to play well you need to be a good teacher first of all for yourself and after that it's possible to transmit your knowledge to your students.
My experience in teaching started when I was 21 in the private music schools and I did several studies about pedagogy during my path in conservatory and also when I was doing my degree in Psicology. Then particulary about preparatory music I did a specialization in Orff-Schulwerk pedagogy and I started also to teach it to children's group (age 4-10).
I came here in Netherlands for to specialize myself in Early music and in this moment I'm studying Baroque Viola at the Royal Conservatory of Den Haag.

Violin and viola lessons for beginners until pre-bachelor level
My violin and viola lessons are available for people of all ages, from the ones starting with the instruments until the pre-bachelor level. In them, I will help students to control their instruments in an easy way, from basic technique to specific to each chosen work, in addition to giving great importance to posture, movement, and body care, crucial for musicians.

Viola lessons - discover the rich, warm sound - from beginner to advaced students
The viola, with its rich, mellow tone and deeply expressive character, offers a musical experience unlike any other. Whether you are a teenager discovering the instrument for the first time, or an adult returning to music with renewed curiosity, my viola lessons offer a space to grow both musically and personally. In these lessons, you will not only explore the viola’s warm and expressive voice, but also cultivate self-awareness through mindful posture, body awareness techniques, and focused listening. Learning to play the viola well requires attention to the body as much as to the instrument, and together we will create a practice that encourages both physical ease and musical sensitivity. Lessons are tailored to individual needs and goals, including: • Preparation for exams or auditions • Building or refining technique • Expanding musical expression through repertoire and improvisation In addition to one-on-one instruction, we will also make music together — exploring duets to deepen your sense of musical connection and communication. Whether your aim is to perform, to progress, or simply to enjoy the intimate sound of the viola, these lessons offer a supportive and inspiring environment in which to develop your skills. For more information please get in touch.

TEACHER / TRAINER Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords. PLACES, FEES - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
