Emese - Cardiff tutor






Information About Emese:


Personal Description:

I am a native Hungarian specialises in Hungarian folk music, with long-term experience performing and teaching violin.
I studied classical music up to secondary school level and then continued my studies privately for three years with the lead violinist of the Tukros Hungarian folk music band. I also have a strong interest in Jazz and classical music.
In 2005 I graduated from the University of Szeged (Hungary) with a master degree in communications. I chose to study communication because of my great interest in world cultures, and through my education, I wanted to understand other cultures in an objective way.



Teaching Experience:

I play violin since I was 7 started to learn classical music. I joined the local folk music group belonged to the folk dance group to do the musical accompliment performing productions. During these years I continued my studies in classical music until I finished the High School and went to University. (These details are involved in my CV). I had such a strong interest in playing Hungarian folk music, so I had private tutors to improve my improvisation skills.

During the university years I was asked to do musical accomplishment for another dance group which was very highly qualified collective including the musical and dance side as well. I was also asked to teach the recruitment for the same group. I had students aged 6-13 from beginners to high level ready to go to stage. I had to teach theory of music explaining how to read music.

I was asked to be the violin teacher for special music camp in the summer where the children had to learn several countries` folk dance songs strictly keeping the specific traits.
That is fact I have never taught classical music but the Hungarian folk music is such a difficult tunes to play that sometimes is more complicated to cope with it than with the classical compositions. I feel able to teach any range of musical styles and the age group or the knowledge of the students does not matter either.



Tutoring Approach:

I prefer to teach music by following and listening to the melody and rhythm because, I believe, that only this is the emotion conveyed and the structure at the music understood. I teach folk and classical music and I believe that the student should be free to choose the composition to play; this is especially important for beginners because it motivates to continue to improve.
