    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!

    Extra information

    Due to my familiarity of improvisation and orchestral music, I often accompany my students with my cello, giving them motivation and joy of playing.

    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 Belić
    Since 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.

    The trumpet, learn to play it by making music from the first class.
    The trumpet: its correct technical execution and the interpretation of popular and academic universal repertoires, is available to everyone regardless of their age. We will build a logical sequence of studies that will help develop the technical aspects. And we will address repertoires according to the age and taste of the student. we will draw a path with short, medium and long term goals. we will build a technical routine and healthy habits to progress correctly. In addition, we will select musical pieces by mutual agreement to mature the technical development hand in hand with musical growth. I am a professional trumpeter, I have participated in symphony orchestras, wind bands, big band, and small chamber and jazz ensembles. I have extensive experience teaching children, youth and adults. For me it is very important to make music from the first lesson, because there must be a balance between technical practice and its application in small melodies or musical pieces. No matter the musical genre, we will always find a repertoire according to the level and interest of each student. If you already know how to play and you need to perfect a piece or prepare a recital or audition, you can count on my experience and accompaniment as well.

    Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!
    The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages. Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable. Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?

    Piano lessons with classical pianist and experienced teacher
    In my teaching I emphasize the importance of founding a correct and accurate playing technique early on. This allows the students to enjoy an effective and high quality learning process as well as avoiding physical pains and injuries from playing. Furthermore, I encourage all my students to get in contact and work with different types of classical repertoire and other musical genres in their instrumental studies.
