Arion Vlastaris
About
Hey everyone! My name is Arion, I am a Classically trained violinist with a degree in Violin Performance, professional experience in orchestra, Chamber music as well as in teaching at various levels.
I received Bachelor's degree in Classical Music with a specialization in Violin Performance in 2025 and have previously completed my training at the Orfeion Conservatory in Athens Greece, graduating in 2020. Aside from my experience of teaching as an independent tutor, courses in Pedagogy and teaching oriented subjects lasting a total of 3 years were mandatory parts of my education.
Throughout the years I have performed as a member of many Symphonic Orchestras, giving concerts in Europe (Greece, Germany, Austria, Netherlands) as well as in the US (New York, Carnegie Hall).
If you're looking to expand your skill set on the Violin, then I'd be happy to help you get there!
Book your trial lesson whenever you're ready.
Until then, practice well and do your scales!
See you!!
Teaching Style
Being fortunate enough to always have had supportive and motivating teachers, I aspire in keeping my style in the same energy. I make sure all feedback is given in an encouraging way and very eager to adapt to each studen't specific preferences.
Curriculum
I focus on incorporating elements from the Suzuki and Kodaly methods in my lessons along with intuitive work, tailored to the specific needs of each student. The end goal is always to help the student be aware of their technical and musical strengths and weaknesses and become the best instructors of themselves.
Sources to refer to, only naming a few and not being strictly limited to include:
Suzuki, Kodaly, Sevcik, Wohlfahrt, Schradieck, Kreutzer, Mazas and many more depending on the needs of each student.
