I, a musician graduated from the Geneva University of Music with a Master's degree in Soloist and Master's degree in Concert Performance, from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, obtained a Master's degree in Pedagogy at Kalaidos University (Switzerland), and am a Solo Violist at the Fribourg Chamber Orchestra. I teach violin, viola and music theory for all ages (from the age of 4) and levels: beginners, intermediate and professional. I also offer my services as a tutor for the preparation of all exams and competitions. I have 20 years of experience teaching and working with children. The teaching method varies depending on the age and level of the student. Each student is unique. The training includes: -The posture of the violinist or violist without muscular tension -Introduction to the instrument and the technique of the violin or viola -Improvisation and playing in duet -Musical development -Development of musical and absolute ear -Development of the sense of rhythm, the basis of rhythm -Knowledge of music theory: all keys, notes, intervals, chords etc. -Knowledge of musical form and the basics of harmony. To practice, you should have a piano or even a small electronic keyboard available. You will learn to read notes with ease, to define chords, intervals, tonalities by ear and to find the musical meaning of the work yourself. Discover your creative potential!
