Baroque Violin
…Are you a ‘modern’ violinist who is interested in exploring stylistic questions in your repertoire?
​​
…Have you always wanted to try the Baroque Violin but are not sure where to start?
​​
…Are you looking for a specialist teacher who can help you ‘take the plunge’ and discover the fascinating world of gut strings?
Familiarity with historically-informed performance is becoming an increasingly essential aspect of a musician’s training. Whatever your musical inclinations, knowledge of the context of a score will offer you greater inspiration and bring you closer to the music’s essence.
I work with top-level ensembles in this field and have in-depth knowledge of national styles pre-1800, as well as a particular interest in the performance practice of the 19th Century. I am professor of Baroque Violin at the ‘Bonporti’ Conservatoire in Trento.
If you would like to learn the baroque violin, and later explore classical and romantic repertoire on period instruments, I will support you through all stages of this challenging but exciting journey. I pay a lot of attention to the differences in set-up between ‘modern’ and historical violin and can help you develop a flexible technique that broadens your musical horizons without limiting your professional opportunities.
