Hi, I'm Marta
I've been teaching violin since 2006. I hold degrees in Violin Performance and Violin Teaching from the Latvian Academy of Music, played in a professional orchestra for 8 years, and have taught students of all ages - from complete beginners to professionals. I know exactly where to start and how to get you playing.
What students say
"This was my first lesson and she was so nice and patient with me being a beginner. She really helped me get a better understanding with the strings and positioning. I highly recommend her!"
"I am a complete beginner, she helped me a lot with the basics. I improved my posture and bow holding, she also gave me tips and exercises to get better. I can't wait for the next lessons!"
"Marta is a wonderful teacher. Very encouraging, positive and professional. Thanks to Marta, I'm so much better in playing the violin, and very very happy with my progress."
