About Marike
Teaching has been an important part of my musical life for many years, alongside my performing schedule. I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities, and with all my students I take the approach that if we’re going to invest time together in this, we may as well aim for the highest level possible, so fully exploring each student’s potential.
I moved to London from Estonia in 2013 to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama for my Bachelor studies and continued at the Royal College of Music for my Masters studies. I've studied with several amazing violin professors such as Krzysztof Smietana, Radu Blidar and Mari Tampere-Bezrodny and from them I have been trained to a mixture of Russian and French school of violin technique.
Currently, alongside teaching my class of students I play in a string quartet (Alkyona Quartet) and freelance with large ensembles such as Britten Sinfonia, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Royal Scottish National Orchestra among others.
I have an up-to-date DBS Certificate.

I love my career as a performing violinist, it is a special privilege and joy to be able express myself through music and call it my job. Helping my students to find their own joy in creativity and communication is a passion of mine and is what inspires me to teach. I also see it as a unique opportunity for any young person to have the opportunity to experience and develop the personal responsibility, self-confidence, and individual expression that learning an instrument enables.
I welcome students who are new to the instrument as well as students coming from other teachers at various different levels of playing. I take building good technical foundations very seriously for them to be able to have musical and technical freedom on the instrument. I like to set goals such as exams and music competitions for students that are interested in performing in public.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Marike.
Perfect! Marika taught my daughter violin. At the beginning she persistently corrected the posture of my daughter until it is perfect, but without making it feel tedious or boring at all. She took my daughter’s progress very seriously, planing well before each class and giving me notes of what needs to be practiced. Her passion towards teaching has brought out my daughter’s interest towards violin. Her class is fun and she is able to explain music to children in a way that they can understand easily. I would highly recommend Marika to anyone looking to learn violin!
Perfect! First lesson was great, got back my interest in playing violin again.
Perfect! Marike is very kind and knowledgeable.

Marike is by far on of the most professional person I have been given to work with.
For being her assistant in a music school, I can confidently say that Marike is one of a kind teacher.
Her patience, experience and attention to details help her achieve outstanding results with student of all age and level.
Marike is not only an amazing teacher but also a trustworthy, reliable and kind person. I cannot recommend her enough as a music teacher.I started taking violin classes with Marike a year ago. I didn't expect to love it so much and I think it's in a big part thanks to her.
It's not easy to start an instrument when you're an adult (much less the violin) and I would probably have given up in less than a month by myself but the classes with Marike are always light and interesting while at the same time going through so much content in just one hour. Most of the time I don't feel like an hour has passed and I want to play more after the class just to practice everything she teaches.
I can now actually play a lot of things that sound very difficult. My family and friends are really impressed :)
Marike is my daughters violin tutor. She is very dedicated in what she does which is shown through her remarkable teaching skills which has enabled my daughter to pass her exams with merit/distinction. She has my full trust and I would highly recommend her to anyone out there who is looking for a strong passionate violin tutor.
I can certainly recommend Marike
She has been teaching my son now for a few months and she has given him so much enthusiasm for his violin. He now practices regularly (well quite regularly!) and has joined an orchestra.
He’s now making such great progress and it’s really all due to Marike. I can thoroughly recommend her, and she’s such a pleasure to deal with tooI’ve worked alongside Marike in group sessions with kids and was very struck by her unwavering positivity. She is an insightful and sensitive teacher while also having a knack of helping kids focus without needing to resort to negativity or harsh discipline. I strongly recommend you drop her a line!
