Welcome to
Hello! My name is Ugne and I am a professional violin teacher based in Glasgow offering high quality tuition for all learners. My lessons are built around you and we will always learn in a direction that you feel comfortable with. I welcome both beginners and advanced players to take my lessons.
Learning any instrument can sometimes be a very difficult task for anyone, as such I think it's really important that my lessons are kept as fun and relaxing as possible. I find that most students tend to learn better and remember more information when they are learning in relaxed and comfortable environment. I will always tailor my lesson plans to suit you as an individual.
My main teaching method is to teach you songs that you know and love by your favorite artists. I find that doing this helps to keep you motivated and driven when it comes to practising the material in between lessons. This not only allows you to grow and develop as a musician but gives you the reward of being able to play all of your favorite songs too. I feel this is a very crucial aspect when learning to play an instrument.

I will always take the time to get to know you as an individual so I can adapt my teaching style and material to suit your specific musical goals and aims. I know we are all different and we all love and want different things from music so I will always do my best to provide lessons that you find fun and engaging, by teaching you songs and material relevant to you.
How you run these lessons is entirely up to you. Depending on your current playing ability together we will decide what you want from these lessons, identify your weaknesses and then work together to improve in those areas and push you to that next level. I will always be happy to play music that you enjoy as this helps keep you motivated and driven when practising in between lessons.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome students of all abilities to come and learn how to play violin with me. I have experience in both teaching beginners and more advanced players and I will use this to make sure you get the most out of your lessons.
Introduction to Violin, Fiddle Time Joggers, Music Basics
I have been playing the violin since I was 5 years old, now I am 23 years old and graduating from Bachelor’s in Music Performance in the Royal Conservatorie of Scotland this year. Originally I am from Lithuania, where I found my passion for the violin and gained a lot of performing experience before coming to Scotland.
I have participated in international competitions when I was 14 and 15 years old, local festivals and concerts up until I was graduating high school.
When I came to Scoldand, I had many performance opportunities given to me by the conservatoire, including orchestral work, chamber music performances and solo repertoires.
More Complex Songs, Harder Techniques, Music Theory
I have been teaching the violin for nearly 3 years now and while having many students I have gained experience working with people from early to older ages. I teach beginners and advanced musicians, some of them are learning the instrument just for fun and some of them come to me for help to prepare for examinations and/or performances.
By focusing on each of the students with an intention to learn their ways of understanding things, I can find an easy way to connect with each of them and make them feel settled and comfortable to express their fears/wishes/insecurities/discomfort related to the instrument and become confident in their playing.
Currently I work as a violin and piano teacher in a private school and have a few of my own private students that come to have lessons to my house.
I like to make sure my lessons are always of a high standard for all of my students.
We are lucky to have a great range of music shops and live venues & a wide range of live music available in Glasgow for everyone. Here are some that I would recommend.
Glasgow Violin Shop, is probably the best option if you are looking for a shop that specialises in violins and sheet music. The store is located on 7-11 Blackie St, Glasgow G3 8TN & has some great staff who will help you find the correct instrument.
Biggars, Located at Unit 9 Upper Mall Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow G1 2FF is an all round music store but is known for having a great range of sheet music and accessories.
Kennys Music, Is the go to place in Glasgow if you are looking for guitars, Pianos, Basses and stringed instruments. You can find the store on 61-63 Jamaica St, Glasgow G1 4NN.
I can help you improve your playing using my experience as a player and performer. Together we will learn a wide range of techniques as well as learning to enjoy practice and playing in your own time. If you have any questions, please send me an email.

My lessons are currently charged at £15 per half hour & £30 per hour for all of my students.
I take most of my lessons from my home studio in the G3 6RU area of Glasgow.
I teach a wide range of ages starting from 4+. I have experience in teaching both children and adults & welcome everyone to learn with me.
You don't have to but for the best results I would recommend a lesson per week combined with plenty of home practice.
Any lesson cancelled with 48 hours can still be charged for. If you need to cancel a lesson please try and let me know within 48 hours of the lesson start. If you do have to cancel at short notice I am happy to try and reschedule the lesson if possible otherwise the lesson will still be charged at the full rate.
Feel free to get in touch and book your first violin lesson today.
