violin lessons

TEACHING

I give violin lessons at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced players of all ages in English or Japanese, in West Hampstead, London.

I have students who study for pleasure as well as for examinations: I prepare students for orchestra auditions, ABRSM examinations, entrance examinations for music colleges and for music places and scholarships at secondary schools.

I can coach chamber groups when students of similar ages and abilities can be brought together.

Please feel free to ask any questions or make an appointment for a consultation lesson by email.

“Takane is a wonderful violin teacher. Her lessons are creative, inspirational and full of fun. There is always something different and exciting happening such as singing, clapping, drumming and much more. She teaches in a way that my daughter thinks she is going to a playdate. She thinks that sight reading, rhythm games and dancing during the rests in music is a special treat made just for her. Takane often plays little duets with my daughter, it is so inspirational for her to play alongside such a great musician. My daughter loves her lessons. She is motivated to practise and enjoys every single lesson. Takane also organises little concerts with other little players and makes my daughter feel like a first violinist in the orchestra. I feel so privileged that my girl can be a part of it. She is a very positive and supportive teacher.”   Mother of a young student
