Student violin concerts
Learning to play the violin paves the way to start enjoying the pleasures of making music with others. From the very start of their musical journey, teacher Iveta Hlavenkova helps her violin students to get experience at performing with other players.
Monthly concerts, Leeds
Iveta organises monthly concerts at which her violin students meet up to spend an enjoyable afternoon making music together, with parents and friends as a supportive audience.
The concerts, over more recent years, have been held at the All Souls Church, Blackman Lane in Leeds. A superb venue and very supportive staff make it a wonderful experience for all. www.allsoulschurchleeds.co.uk
Performing at Iveta's informal and friendly concerts is voluntary but most of her students enjoy playing their favourite pieces to each other. The purpose of the concerts is to get used to performing in order to become not only good violinists but also skilled performers.
Half-yearly concerts, Leeds
As well as Iveta's monthly concerts at the Music House, she organises concerts twice a year at the Headingley Enterprise & Arts Centre (HEART), Leeds. After gaining experience and confidence at performing in Iveta's monthly concerts, her students are ready to perform to a wider audience, and members of the public are invited to the HEART Centre concerts.
Potential violin students and their parents are very welcome to attend any of Iveta's student concerts, and they also offer the opportunity to chat to Iveta and her violin pupils about learning the violin.
In addition to the concerts for her students, Iveta also organises a number of other music-making activities for all violin students - see Workshops and Leeds Folk Fiddle Group.
