Violin teacher at KMA Berlin

Cecilia Ferron

With a lot of love, passion, appropriate exercises and a playful approach, my goal is to elicit the best from my students with an individual approach from an artistic as well as a human point of view in order to train technically and musically mature musicians.

I always try to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, in which students develop best.

I come from the world of classical music, but my passion for music has also led me to other musical styles such as jazz and folk music, which also taught me improvisation and flexibility.

From personal experience, having changed my violin-playing technique several times, I put emphasis on the bow-hold, holding of the violin, and playing with the left hand. I strive for, as much as possible, a relaxed body during playing. My favorite part of teaching is discovering how to interpret individual musical pieces along with the students, so every feeling and every story is reflected in the sound. I am very thankful that I have had the opportunity to learn from so many excellent musicians who have always treated music as fantasy that has not limits.

It is very important for me to have good and genuine relationships with my students, and I am very thankful that I have such relationships with each and every one of them. I attach a lot of importance on how things are said. Therefore I always make sure that I find the right way for the student to make progress as fast as possible, and so that his potential is fully realized.
