Would you like to hone your skills on the violin/viola? Or maybe you'd like to practice your english while enjoying some music pieces? Perhaps you have an event you'd like to prepare a piece for, or show of your talent to your friends at your next social gathering. Maybe you'd like to have your group ensemble coached?

Pedro
Violinist with 15 years of experience with the instrument, completed professional degree. I also teach basic concepts of musical language.I use the methods with which I learned, such as books like Suzuki, Czerni, etc., always adapted to the student's age and level. The student's musical preferences will also be taken into account for learning pieces or songs they enjoy.
There will also be an emphasis on public performances, as this is one of the most challenging aspects for musicians. We will try to organize concerts or recitals in a family setting to practice this skill.
Finally, motivation will be reinforced by preparing duets (two violins, violin and piano, violin and guitar, etc.), as this is one of the most effective methods for improving skill level.

- Fundamentals: reading violin music, proper posture, intonation, scales, solfeggio, techniques and other exercises.
- Violin Technique: correct posture, holding of the violin and the bow, finger and bow techniques through various exercises.
- Pitch and Rhythm: recognize and notate pitches on all strings, experience diverse rhythms and meters.
- Musical Vocabulary: basic musical terms and symbols.
- Making music: learning to express your musicality through understanding form, dynamics, tempo and phrasing.
- Repertoire: literature of various composers, understanding their style and of the epoch of theirs.
Please contact me before booking a lesson so that I can understand your priorities and, in accordance with your level of experience and individual learning pace, embark on this musical journey.
With the desire to build a platform for violinists together, I eagerly await you in my online classroom!
