Violin lessons for any age and any level

Advert description
Recently I graduated from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I specialised in a range of genres, from early renaissance music (14/1500's) to music of the 21st century. This incudes, renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic, 20th century neoclassicism and, modern music (2000 - present).


Teachers and specialists I have trained under include: Rachel Podger, Bartosz Woroch, Carmine Lauri, Jeremy West, Lucy Gould, Iona Brown, Bradley Creswick and members of The Albion Quartet (Tamsin Waley-Cohen, Emma Parker and Nathaniel Boyd).


Goals I wish to achieve with my students include: improvement of sound quality, technique, style, flexibility with comfort in playing, and building confidence as a performer which can help lower performance anxiety. If you are looking to learn or improve your skills on the violin, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me!


I teach any age, youngest so far being 5 years old all the way up to adults. Anyone who learns under me knows I always put 150% into any of our sessions as I am passionate about passing down the skills I have learnt throughout my career as a violinist. Each session we will lay down realistic aims and goals so that we can track your progression and achievements throughout our time together.
Mihai in a nutshell
For beginner students, I believe it is rather important to focus on exercises and different studies that will develop the players as whole. In other words, those exercises and studies combined with theory will allow the student to understand their intentions and will build their flexibility within their wrists and hands and fingers, as well as building a good posture when playing the violin.

For beginner students, I believe it is rather important to focus on exercises and different studies that will develop the players as whole. In other words, those exercises and studies combined with theory will allow the student to understand their intentions and will build their flexibility within their wrists and hands and fingers, as well as building a good posture when playing the violin. Exercises will be repetitive to begin with until the student becomes familiar with the understanding of the mechanism. Once that is achieved, we will move on to pieces and melodies and build "the taste" of musicality. After that, we can focus on building strong technique and revising it every couple of lessons for security. This ensures learning is retained so that this student can make constant progress in their progress.

The intermediate and advanced students can address any sort of question/s related to music and violin when coming to a lesson. We will set some goals and steps towards achieving your goals - this may be through studies, exercises and, theory. We will be working through melodies and passages that will develop your ear for intonation, and understanding of the phrase itself, for example, this could be a chord or a chromatic passage that seems atonal or is atonal, or developing a musical sense and understanding of phrasing.


Every student is different and everyone has their own abilities and strengths, but I am here to help you overcome any difficulties met and make your learning more enjoyable.
