About David

I am primarily a performer, and I have played around the world in various ensembles/situations. I also enjoy music composition and have taken up Music Production as a secondary professional interest. Along with classical, I listen to electronic, jazz, pop, rock, and metal, and any fusion or alteration (or abstraction) of the aforementioned. My passion for music is a primary driving force in my life, and I wish to inspire this passion, and understanding of the craft in others, which is my reason for taking up teaching. I also learn myself through teaching, which is a thing many teachers echo, rightfully so. Biography Serbian-Dutch violinist David Horvat graduated from the Yehudi Menuhin School in 2016 under the tutelage of Natasha Boyarski. He then received the ABRSM EU Undergraduate Scholarship Award to pursue his degree at the Royal College of Music in London where he is currently studying under the Professors Radu Blidar. As a young student, he attended the School for Musically Gifted Children in Cuprija, Serbia, where he was under the tutelage of Professor Vladislav Bobic. He won first prize in 2008, aged 11, at the ‘Jaroslav Kocijan’ international violin competition in Ústí nad Orlicí in the Czech Republic. Two years later, he featured as a young soloist with Dutch symphony orchestra ‘Het Brabants Orkest’ (The Brabant Orchestra). In 2013, David played a solo recital at the famous ‘Guarnerius’ arts centre in Belgrade. He followed this performance with a Paganini recital later that year as a special guest during his previous school’s 40th-year anniversary celebrations. In late 2014, he was awarded the ArtLink Prize as Musician of the Year where he performed another solo recital. The programme included the works of Paganini, Waxman, Ysaÿe, and Tchaikovsky. Later on, as part of the Yehudi Menuhin Centenary celebrations in 2016, he played at various venues in Madrid and Berlin before completing a tour of Scotland. He attended ‘colluvio’ International Youth Exchange (the summer chamber music course in Preding, Austria) in August 2016 where he toured Europe with his colleagues playing Schubert. Later, in December, he performed with the LGT Young Soloists Youth Orchestra in Abu Dhabi as part of a larger ensemble. David was invited to play with the Radio Television Serbia Symphony in 2017 at the Kolarac University Concert Hall in Belgrade where he performed the first Shostakovich violin concerto (Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Opus 77). He returned to the ‘colluvio’ chamber music course again in 2019 where he performed Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio no. 2 with his trio. Tour concerts included performances in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Ukraine and Serbia. In October 2019, David and his trio played concerts in Germany and Austria, concluding with a concert in Turin, Italy. In 2021 David played the third movement of the Shostakovich Violin Concerto in a Public Masterclass hosted by Maxim Vengerov at the RCM. David is currently a freelance teacher and performer in London, having finished his Artist Diploma at the Royal College of Music, and continues to engage in orchestral and solo music projects. He performs on a 2008 Frederic Chaudiere violin, purchased and maintained with the invaluable support of the Albert Cooper Music Charitable Trust.

About the lesson

I aim to personalise my teaching to the individual's needs/aims, with a flexible methodology. Planned ahead lessons, resources, and a regime/programme to suit anyone's needs and goals. One of my core principles is nurturing any and all musical interests. I have taught ages 7-65 and have 6 years of private teaching experience. A typical lesson can be from thirty minutes to an hour and a half.

David is one of a kind teacher and colleague.
I highly recommend his teaching approach of the violin as well as his method.
He will know how to adapt to any kind of student or desire, and will take you on the right path, as he does when we work together in chamber music.

David is not only an excellent musician but a trustworthy and dedicated teacher.
One would be hard pushed to find anyone else of the same calibre, both for musical understanding and for the ability to convey that understanding to a student.
