About me
I’m Illia Netkach, a professional and experienced violin teacher
with a Junior Bachelor's Degree from Kharkiv State College of
Music (Ukraine) and a Licentiate Diploma in Violin Teaching from
the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (UK).
I picked up the violin at the age of 7 and have been following
my passion ever since. My teaching journey in music began long
before graduation, teaching my younger cousins and discovering
my love for sharing knowledge. Though I dreamed of a performer
career, I always felt the irresistible call to teach and
mentor.
In 2013 I moved to the Middle East, and my teaching experience
here has been incredibly enriching - guiding students of diverse
ages, nationalities, religions, and cultures. Many of my
students have excelled in exams, competitions, and have simply
become talented players.
During the challenging times of
the COVID-19 pandemic, I transitioned to online teaching and was
amazed by its effectiveness when approached the right way. In my
lessons, I fully leverage the power of available technology,
which includes professional software, a good camera, and decent
microphones to deliver the best quality to the student.
They say an expert is someone who has made all the
possible mistakes in their field, and that's me. I've walked
this path, and now you can too. Whether you want your child to
learn this beautiful instrument or you have always dreamed of
playing the violin yourself, now is the perfect time to start.
Get in touch, and let me be your guide on this wonderful musical
journey.

People say
I have been playing violin since I was 2 years old and Mr. Illia
has been my violin teacher for the past two years. He is one of
the best violin teachers I have ever had. To have classes with
him is a great opportunity! He has taught me a variety of pieces
from different genres. I have been able to improve my skills by
a million milestones and I recommend him to anyone who wants to
learn how to play violin or improve on their own skills.
Zain - 12 years old
My journey with Mr Ilya began with preparations for my grade 7
exam. Throughout he was always determined to receive nothing
short of my best efforts. Being the incredibly skilled violinist
he is, he enthusiastically passed down all pearls of musical
wisdom, endeavouring to perfect all aspects of playing. As such
he has enabled me to reach incredible heights, massively
contributing to the distinction I received on my grade 8 exam. I
am so grateful to have received Mr Ilya's help and contribution
towards my musical success and growth.
Aisling, ABRSM Grade 8 with Distinction
Ilia began teaching my daughter violin performance and music
theory when she was just six years old. Under his mentorship,
she advanced from grade 2 to achieving a grade 8 ABRSM, earning
many distinctions. Beyond her development as a musician, she
blossomed as a student, learning how to learn, and cultivate
grit and discipline with a growth mindset. According to my
daughter, a master class with Ilia is not just about music; it's
a master class in life. He embodies a genuine passion for
teaching, which shines through in every interaction, inspiring
students to thrive musically and professionally. Thank you,
Ilia—you truly are the best!
