Violin lessons in Beirut

My son and I were in Bordeaux for just two weeks, staying with a local family. Unfortunately, we weren't aware that practicing the violin would not be welcomed at home or his language school until the last minute. I must take responsibility for assuming that it wouldn't be an issue and for not clearly expressing my son's desire to practice daily. (BTW, he has been playing the violin for 8 years.) Thankfully, Tristan came to our rescue. Despite his busy schedule, he managed to fit in five lessons for my son during the two weeks, although the last one was canceled due to his illness, which cannot be helped. He even lent my son his mute, allowing him to practice at home. Tristan's flexibility and understanding were invaluable in this situation. Moreover, my son rarely trusts someone so easily, but he immediately felt comfortable with Tristan. He spoke highly of the lessons, where Tristan skillfully combined expression, techniques, and theory, making the learning experience enjoyable. As a result of this positive experience, my son is considering continuing his lessons with Tristan online from the US. This way, he can build on the progress he made during our stay in Bordeaux. We are truly grateful to Tristan for making our time in Bordeaux memorable and musically enriching!

Jovana is a well organized and well structured teacher. We have had only three classes and she has already taught me how to read music notes and I have no musical experience at all. She is reliable and patient. She gives her 100% and doesn’t lose confidence in her students. She is also very linguistically gifted. I am going to continue taking lessons with her :)

Javier is a great instructor. His accomplishments as a musician are impressive alone but then skillfully cultivates a love of the instrument with his students. Thank you Javier for taking interest in others and sharing your gifts of teaching!
