ABOUT
My goal is to make people of all ages and levels not only learn how to play an instrument, but how music can 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 universally important for everyone. I like to be creative, so if i am working (especially) with young children, the most important thing for me is to make the lesson as interesting as possible.
I teach to help improve technical and musical skills and also to give a general overview of the music piece being taught. I am patient, calm and funny.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

TEACHING APPROACH
You will need to attend the lesson with your own instrument. We can choose the learning method together depending on your level so we decide on the sheet music that fits best for you.
REVIEWS
“Ester was so thorough and patient for my first violin lesson ever! She showed me how to hold and care for the violin and the bow, taught me physical exercises to become accustomed to the movements required for playing, and started me on some basic playing drills. Highly recommend. 5/5”
“By considering my level, she let me start from a very basic level. I think she is a patient and modest teacher. 5/5”
