About
Hey everyone!
My name is Arion and I am a Conservatory-trained Classical violinist with a degree in Violin Performance, professional experience in orchestra, Chamber music as well as in teaching at various levels.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Classical Music back in 2025 with a specialization in Violin Performance. I have also previously completed my training at the Orfeion Conservatory in Athens Greece, graduating in 2020 and receiving my diploma with a distinction, (unanimous vote), and 1st Prize. Aside from my experience as an independent tutor, I also followed 5 years of courses in Pedagogy and teaching that were mandatory parts of my curriculum.
Throughout the years I have performed as a member of many Symphonic Orchestras, giving concerts in Europe (Athens, GR, Konzerthaus Berlin, DE, Vienna, AT, Maastricht, NL) as well as in the US (New York, Carnegie Hall).
If you're looking for personalized tutoring, tailored to your own needs and aspirations as a violin player, then I'd be happy to help you get there!
A complementary intro session is available on my profile, so you are more than welcome to book your trial lesson to discuss your goals and to see if it's a good fit. No strings attached!!
Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you in the studio!!
Teaching Style
Being fortunate enough to always have had supportive and motivating teachers, I aspire in keeping my style in the same energy. I make sure all feedback is communicated in a healthy and encouraging way and I am very eager to adapt to each student's specific preferences.
Curriculum
I focus on incorporating elements from the Suzuki and Kodaly methods in my lessons along with intuitive work, tailored to the specific needs of each student. The end goal is always to help the student be aware of their technical and musical strengths and weaknesses and become the best instructors of themselves.
Sources to refer to, only naming a few and not being strictly limited to include:
Suzuki, Kodaly, Sevcik, Dounis, Wohlfahrt, Schradieck, Kreutzer, Rode, Dont, Paganini, Ernst, Wieniawski, and many more depending on the needs of each student.
