Fiolin- og Bratsjundervisning i Ålesund
Hei, jeg er Matthew Olyver
— en britisk musiker og lærer som bor i Ålesundsområdet
sammen med min kone og vår lille datter.
Jeg tilbyr vennlig og strukturert undervisning i fiolin og bratsj for barn, ungdom og voksne. Jeg reiser hjem til elevene og tilpasser hver time etter individuelle mål.
Jeg har et LRAM-undervisningsdiplom og en PhD i musikkkomposisjon fra Royal Academy of Music i London, og har over 10 års undervisningserfaring fra både Storbritannia og Norge.
Jeg tilbyr også undervisning i komposisjon, musikkteori og portefølje-/opptaksforberedelser.

FAQ
Do you teach online as well as in the Ålesund area?
Yes — I teach online and offer in-person lessons anywhere in the Ålesund area.
Which languages do you teach in?
Lessons are primarily delivered in English for clarity. I am learning Norwegian quickly and working toward fluency — Norwegian is available on request.
How do payments work?
Payments are made by simple invoice per session. No long-term commitment required.
What do lessons include?
Lessons are tailor-made for each student.
For violin and viola, this includes:
• A wide variety of pieces suited to age and level
• Developing strong, confident technique
• Clear guidance on posture, bowing, tone, and intonation
• Learning to sight-read notation fluently
• Scales, arpeggios, and technical exercises for steady long-term progression
I also offer composition lessons, music theory tuition, and exam preparation for students who wish to develop those areas alongside their instrumental learning.
