Irina Zaytseva
About
A teacher with thirty years of experience will teach you to play the violin with a beautiful sound and possess excellent performance technique using a unique method, which was inherited from my world-class teachers.
Teaching Style
In my lessons, you will be able to play any musical pieces and melodies you choose. I work with students of all levels, including those who need a "rescue" to advance their technique. Proper positioning is given significant importance, enabling students to tackle any technical challenges. These are straightforward rules that other teachers often do not use for some reason. Therefore, I can also offer a master class for teachers so that many can benefit from this method, not just a select group of successful violinists.
Curriculum
I could say that our lessons take place in a relaxed and easy atmosphere, but only if you're not ready to be serious and achieve success, or if the student is still a small child and needs playful engagement. I approach lessons with full responsibility and professionalism, providing precise instructions to achieve set goals. I accurately identify reasons why something might not work for you and tailor individual practice exercises. Some teachers believe that skill comes with hours of practice, and if you don't practice, you'll forget everything. I assure you that with knowledge of correct technique and sound production from a physics perspective, even after a twenty-year break, you can pick up the violin and play virtuosically, remembering just the text or looking at the notes.
Credentials & Affiliations
I also can teach viola and piano. I consider myself to be more of a violin specialist, but at the moment, my offline students are more willing to play the piano.
