PRIVATE VIOLIN LESSONS IN CHELSEA, NYC, with renowned Austrian violinist Roswitha

I am ROSWITHA, an Austrian-born and NYC-based performer, keynote speaker/entertainer and music coach. I teach out of my Music and Production Studio in Chelsea (29th street between 10th and 11th Avenues).

Please contact Queen Rose Music at 917-334 5862 or booking@queenrosemusic.com to get all your questions answered. I look forward meeting you soon!

As a highly trained classical and jazz violinist with a special teaching degree from Austria I take pride in only offering high-end instrumental education. I teach violin and viola.

My style is customized individually for each student depending on interests and needs. I teach all levels and ages and incorporate a strong classical violin technique as the foundation based on the Suzuki method (for beginners). I believe that each of us has leadership skills and I use my lessons to bring those qualities to the forefront by working on self-expression, improvisation and creativity (teaching composition and song writing). In addition I expose my students to many different styles of music.

The skills I teach my students help them in academia, perseverance, work ethic, socially and for their creativity in all areas of their lives. Watch my video to find out what I offer:

I have strong classical training from Austria with a specialized Violin Teaching Degree, which doesn’t exist in the USA. Austria has an old music history and a broad music school system. Each child learns a music instrument. In addition I have a Jazz degree. I have been performing professionally since the age of 13, went to a specialized music high school while already studying as a full-time student at the Music Academy, won prizes as a child performer and expanded musically as an adult by coming to NYC. I established myself not only in the classical, but also the Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop and Pop music scenes, as a violinist, singer, songwriter and producer. My last 2 solo releases made it into 10 categories for a potential Grammy nomination in the Pop, Rock and Gospel categories. I have toured internationally and have performed on TV and big stages. Feel free to look around on my website.

My BUILDING BRIDGES vision keeps me engaged in leadership trainings to create intercultural communication to foster peace and a shift from resignation to inspiration and empowerment.

I teach out of my Music and Production Studio in Chelsea (29th street between 10th and 11th Avenues).
