Learn the violin (violin) or the viola instrument from a specialized teacher
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
You can learn the arts of playing from a university professor who holds a doctorate from the University of the Arts Berlin, teaching violin and viola, and more than 35 years of experience teaching amateurs of all ages (from 7 to 77).- I can teach all levels from the first level to the highest levels, and I also have a long experience in supervising master's and doctoral theses.
Reading musical notes is a skill we learn from the first hour, and it gradually grows with practice and practice. The level of reading rises as we advance in the technical and technical level. Just like learning languages. We learn the alphabet, but the reading level in first grade is different from the tenth grade when we learn new, more difficult words.
- If you are a violinist or viola machine student and have some technical problems that hinder your progress, you are welcome, as I have long experience in solving these problems and developing your level in a short time.
I have long experience teaching the curriculum of my university: The Royal School of Music (ABRSM) - Trinity College of Music "London"
I can teach in more than one language and deal with Arab nationalities impartially and professionally.

Viola lessons - classical and baroque - from beginner to advaced studentsThe viola is a wonderful instrument, it has a warm and passionate voice and is characterized by its sweetness and softness in both the low and high registers.
If you are interested in learning to play the viola - classical or baroque - or feel the need to improve your skills, or if you have to prepare for an exam or an audition, just send me a message and I will gladly be your viola teacher!
Being an instrument that is not as comfortable as the violin, sound production in the viola needs special attention. In my lessons I try to increase in my students the ability to perceive and recognize the position of their body in space and the state of contraction of their muscles. We will talk about pure instrumental technique and make music together, but we will also speak about self-awareness, relaxation techniques and posture. Studying the viola can thus become a transcendental way to discover the potential of your body and mind.

Private Piano and Violin lessons between downtown and sports cityOver the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of teaching students from diverse nationalities and backgrounds. I have worked with students from various schools, including local Hong Kong schools, Hong Kong International School, Kowloon Junior International School, and the French International School etc.
I am adaptable and capable of teaching students with different personalities, whether they are highly energetic or more reserved. My primary goal is to instill a passion for music in the next generation, helping students not only grow as musicians but also as confident performers.
I have guided many students to success in ABRSM exams, from Grade 1 to Grade 8, including the latest online exam format. My students consistently achieve excellent results, and feedback from past clients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing how music has boosted their confidence and performance skills.
I tailor my lessons using a variety of books based on each student’s level and needs. Please feel free to contact me for more information or inquiries.

Gregorian Chant: Reading the tetragram with the voiceIn this course I teach you to become familiar with the scores of the Gregorian Chant and its Vatican notation, which works in tetragram instead of staff, and does not have the conventional rhythmic figures. We will learn the Gregorian symbols and ways, while also awakening the voice and gaining notions of Latin, history and liturgy.
Giacomo
Violin Lessons in Zurich: Mastery and Mindfulness!Dear students,
My name is Giacomo and I hold two Master of Arts in Music Performance, one in Rome and one from the "Zurcher Hochschule der Kunste" in Zurich.
During my class lessons you'll learn the wonderful art of playing the violin, an incredible instrument! I have many years of experience with teaching, I do private lessons and I have worked as a teacher for "Tiziano Rossetti International Music Academy in Lugano" for several years. As a teacher my goal is to bring out the best version of my students, using their individual strenghts, which are different for each of them. It's a pleasure for me to teach to anybody who wants even just to discover the art of playing the violin. As a pedagogue, after one month experience in a meditation retreat in Thailand, my approach involves not only focusing on the technical development of the instrument but also paying close attention to the physical and mental well-being of my students. I incorporate meditation and yoga as key elements to ensure a pleasant and optimal experience with the instrument and with oneself.
