About the lesson

I believe it's important to divide each violin lesson into two parts. The first part focuses on developing technique—working on scales, exercises, and posture to build a strong foundation. The second part is dedicated to applying those techniques by interpreting and playing pieces of music. This structure helps students not only improve their technical skills but also connect with the expressive side of playing the violin.

Perfect! Absolutely great teacher, I’m started learning with Marie as an adult learner and I’ve developed so much over the course of 6 months so far. I continue to enjoy learning with her. She is patient, well versed and professional, would highly recommend.

Marie is wonderfully kind and fun. I originally found her via google, and after a few weeks of lessons she came with me to help buy my violin, and helped me achieve grade 4 in a couple of years - as an untrained adult this achievement was in no small part thanks to Marie. She'll happily accept challenges (like Mendelssohn, just because I like it) and clearly loves both the music and teaching.
I truly can't recommend Marie strongly enough.Marie is the best violin teacher for young children. She cares about my daughters (8Y and 5Y) progress, tailoring lessons to their needs. Learning violin can be very challenging for young children and Marie creates a relaxed and positive learning environment where mistakes are seen as part of the process—not something to be feared! My daughters feel happy, motivated and they gain so much confidence with Marie. If you're looking for a professional, exceptionally patient and supportive violin teacher, I highlyrecommend Marie.
Marie is a very talented musician, and an awesome person to work with. I am very grateful for her teaching!
I was lucky enough to pick Marie as a violin teacher.
She's is very human, and teaches me with an approach that I never explored before: "being able to play this, ok. But now let's try and do this beautifully".
Not sure what else to add but I always feel better, and relaxed leaving her class.
SO, so good.
Merci Marie!
Oh, and she speaks french!I highly recommend Marie as a violin tutor!
I'm an adult learner who started taking violin lessons from last year. Marie is an amazing tutor – not only is she a very talented and knowledgeable musician, but she explains things in a very clear way and is very patient when I inevitably hit challenges. She is very flexible when it comes to things to focus in the lessons. I enjoy each session – I'm always given huge amounts of feedback and insight each time and Marie helps with having a clear plan for going forward at the end. She has made a huge difference to my playing in a short period of time.I am writing to provide a recommendation for Marie Cahen, who has been my violin teacher for the past 5 years. During this time, I have come to greatly appreciate her expertise, dedication, and passion for teaching.
Marie has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a violinist and teacher, and she has been able to impart this to me in a way that is both challenging and rewarding. She has helped me to improve my technique, expand my repertoire, and develop my musicianship in ways that I never thought possible.
Moreover, Marie has always been an excellent communicator and a patient, compassionate teacher. She has been able to tailor lessons to my individual needs and preferences, while still pushing me to reach new levels of proficiency. Her commitment to my growth as a musician has been unwavering, and I am deeply grateful for her mentorship over the past 5 years.
In short, I can wholeheartedly recommend Marie Cahen as a violin teacher. She is a consummate professional and an inspiring teacher, and I have learned so much under her guidance. I am confident that she will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of her students for many years to come.Marie is an exceptional violinist/teacher she delivers knowledge passion and musicality in a way that I didn’t think possible. She was born to play the Violin!
I find her informative, inspirational, and challenging which makes for brilliant lessons. She has ears that can hear every minor error, but they also hear every correct note and she’s very quick to offer praise.
Patience and reliability are at the forefront of her skill set, she is very committed to her students and actively encourages them to reach new heights.
Sometimes we laugh together when I make a mistake but there’s always homework and creative solutions to help keep focus and improve on the past lesson.
I have seen Marie in multiple settings in my training but also in her session practice with my pianist partner who says her talent and connection to the pieces she performs is humbling.
