Oana Gadalean

Violin, Viola & Piano Player & Teacher 2005 – present

TUTORING APPROACH:
One to one lesson. Although I was classically trained, I can play and teach a wide range of styles, which can make the lessons more fun and interesting, approaching various repertoire. Also I can include, occasionally, chamber music lessons with my students.
For people interested to take further their musical studies and would like to take exams, we will focus mostly on the program requested for the exam

I have experience teaching a range of ages from young children to retirement age, beginners to advanced level. I always have a custom approach of teaching style and technique, which suits better the personality of the tutee in order to enjoy the learning process.

I also teach Music Theory.
