About Me
I currently play with 4 bands: Bremen Town (bluegrass/americana), The Cancellations (alternative rock), The Flogging Seagulls (80's/Irish), The Gipsy All-Stars (jazz/swing), in addition to being hired to record various violin tracks and play popular and Classical music for weddings, proposals, and private events (so many Taylor Swift requests).I began playing at 10 years old after attending a school assembly where someone played the main title theme for Star Wars on violin...and I was hooked.
Fiddling started at 15, when I started taking lessons from a guy on his boat in Redondo Beach. My step-dad paid him with beer.
My tuxedo cat's name is Mijo and he's (mostly) a very good boy.

How to sing with the right techniques, keeping your instrument healthyHave you ever asked yourself if you can also sing freely, while in control of your voice, making that desired tone? If you want to improve your singing in a fun relaxed environment, then you’re in the right place!
Hi! I'm Rana! I’m a professional singer in Los Angeles.
I have a masters degree in vocal performances, I am also a certified CCM teacher with specialty in singing contemporary music.
Studying classical music and singing opera gave me a solid foundation in vocal techniques and my performance experience as a rock singer made me a crossover singer/teacher. I teach multiple genres: from Classical Music and Opera, to Pop, Musical Theatre, R&B and Rock.
Whether you just started to sing for the first time, or have the experience, or even if you want to prepare a song for a special occasion, I can help you by creating a customized lesson plan in the best way that suits your goals!
I have a great passion for teaching and sharing my knowledge. Let’s meet and make music together!

Learn Piano and Improvisation and practice other languages :)The most important matter that I could write here about is my passion to teach. I've been teaching already for more than 10 years, from kids to adults. I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing!
The class duration: You can choose!
20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old)
30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old)
45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners)
1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory)
I use different methods depending on:
1) The goals of my student
2) The language that we will use on class
3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.

Private violin lessons, Music Theory, Technical and Musical SkillsMy goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life.
I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University.
Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

I teach students of all ages and levels.
I have thirteen years of teaching experience in the Netherlands and in Belgium ( privately and at music schools/muziekacademies).

The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes.
