What Course should you Choose if you want to be my Private Student?
Do you want to me to be your teacher?
I’d love to help you overcome your technical struggles and play the violin with feeling
I get asked a lot what course is most suitable for you if you’ve watched my free stuff and are interested in becoming my student.
Online learning in music? No way!
We’ve been trained to think that one-on-one is the highest level of learning with it comes to music, but let me tell you technology has made it so that we learn even better online.
I’ve owned a violin studio with four teachers for over twelve years. Once I started making videos, creating online programs and specialising in bowing technique, tone creation, vibrato and playing the violin with feeling, I discovered something remarkable.
My students learn better online than offline!
Especially when we talk about bowing techniques, it’s important that you have access to the lessons 24/7. To really apply them and play with expression, it’s important that you can do so comfortably on your own. Yes, you can ask questions or send a video for feedback, but these sensitive skills need the right time and space to be developed.
As a teacher I’m better in a program. I’ve done years of research and preparations and have created the curriculum very carefully. You see only my very best explanations and structure. I would NEVER be able to teach like that on the spot.
You can learn to play the violin with feeling in home and at your own time!
To get to know me, I offer hundreds of free violin lessons. To dip your toe in the water of learning with me, I offer the short and cheap course ‘Upgrade your Violin Bow Technique’ at iClassical Academy.
If you really feel we’re a fit and you want my personal guidance as my VIP student, join my life’s work Bow like a Pro.
