Profile at the Gulda School of Music

Private tuition in Vienna and online

Daniel Auner continues to accept private students — in Vienna at his own teaching studio and worldwide online. The teaching is addressed to ambitious young violinists, students, advanced players and professional musicians, as well as to candidates preparing for entrance examinations.

The work covers technique and sound as much as the question of what a work actually says: articulation, rhetoric, and the provenance of an edition. Regular education projects also take him into schools.
