Violin
The violin teaching at the Haute école de musique de Genève (HEM) is delivered at the sites in Geneva and Neuchâtel. Our violin classes are taught by high-level professors, renowned educators and artists with an international reputation.
Our professors have a wealth of experience in many different forms, in theatre, transcription, literary translation, cinema, sport, psychology, martial arts, etc. The richness of their career paths often means they are in a position to take short-cuts that are intuitive and highly beneficial for their students.
Always listening to the needs and expectations of their students, our professors support them in the acquisition of an instrumental technique at the highest level, while guiding them in the development of their own artistic sensibility. Internationally acclaimed violinists are regularly invited to lead Masterclasses.
The HEM’s violin classes offer a particularly stimulating learning environment, which makes the most of the cultural diversity of their students, who come from all over the world. The atmosphere is one that favours human contact and new friendships. Besides the individual classes, there is a large number and variety of opportunities to play in a group: orchestra sessions, chamber music, multi-disciplinary projects. Openings are offered that lead to contemporary music and creativity, but also to the music of the past.
Thanks to the close ties that the HEM maintains with the region’s professional ensembles, our students have the opportunity to play in renowned ensembles such as the Orchestre de la Suisse romande (OSR), the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève (OCG) or the Ensemble de musique contemporaine Contrechamps. The richness of the music scene in French-speaking Switzerland, the music-loving public and the numerous patrons mean that there are ample opportunities for engagement, to enrich their practice and develop their network.
