Natasha taught both my children violin since 2019. My elder child transitioned to learn from Natasha smoothly and learnt a lot of new techniques. My younger child always enjoys his violin lessons and he improved tremendously in a year. Natasha is patient and she knows what each child needs to improve on. I would highly recommend her if anyone is looking for a Violin teacher!

I am an adult beginner who has had almost a term of viola lessons with Natasha and I am super pleased with how things are progressing! My lessons have been online through Zoom, and the format has been working really well for me (and is very simple to set up). If you are searching for a violin/viola instructor, I highly recommend that you inquire with The String School!

I have been learning violin from Natasha as an adult, returning to the instrument after many years. Natasha has been a professional and patient teacher. I have especially enjoyed the ear training work incorporated into the lessons. Recently lessons have been conducted via Zoom which has been working really well. Highly recommended for anyone one who is looking for a high quality teacher.

Teacher Biography

Natasha Ivanovic is a professional violinist and teacher with 22 years of playing experience, the past 10 of which have been spent actively teaching violin, viola and (formerly) piano. She recently received First Class Honours in her Bachelor of Music, under the tutelage of renowned teachers Wilma Smith and Rachael Beesley. During this degree she was fortunate enough to not only study classical performance with Wilma at a postgraduate level, but also specialise in early music and historical performance with Rachael, in addition to performing in various chamber music and orchestral ensembles. Having previously completed her Associate of Music Australia (A.MusA) Diploma on Violin in 2007, and a Bachelor of Popular Music Degree in 2013, Natasha has gained experience and expertise in a multitude of areas of violin playing and music more broadly, making her a very versatile performer and teacher.

She has full registration as a member of the VMTA (Victorian Music Teachers Association) and holds a current Working With Children Check. While she now focuses on her private studio, specialising in individual tuition on violin for students of all ages (four to adult) and levels (beginners to advanced), Natasha previously taught violin, viola and piano at several Melbourne schools. She has extensive experience teaching the AMEB and VCE syllabus, with students consistently achieving great results in exams (an average grade of Honours), and continuing to meet and exceed their own personal goals. Natasha regularly performs professionally as a classical and contemporary violinist/violist, as well as working in recording studios as a session musician. She is trained in audio engineering and production, and is a proficient songwriter, composer and arranger of music.
