Biography - Violin Lessons - OnAlti Academy

During our time together, we are going to talk about what creates magical moments. The essence of what I try to do with music is to transmit something unique so that it will live with the listener.

Why do I teach? I teach because I have a strong impulse to share. I have been studying with exceptionally good teachers and have been lucky enough to absorb as much from their mastery. I have been playing the violin since I was practically born, I cannot live without my violin. Now it is the moment in which I share the knowledge I have acquired during so many years.

I am a person who feels comfortable the most when I am surrounded by a highly motivated atmosphere, so I diligently incentivize my students to be stimulated. I always look forward to learning, constant growth, and having very clear goals. I am very proactive, enthusiastic, and try to be as professional and collaborative as possible.

In my lessons, we will talk about colors, phrasing, vibrato, intonation, posture, articulations, different styles of playing, health, intensity versus relaxation, passion, and control, bow speed, dynamics... To make the bow and the violin work for you and not the other way around. I want to help my students through, whatever their ambition is, and make it their own.

For me, it is a privilege to devote myself to what I like the most. To be a pedagogue is almost like being a magician, you teach hidden treasures.
