Trumpet Mentor - Jazz / Pop / Funk / Classical

Dima Loginov is a trumpet player and composer from Kazakhstan. He started music on piano at age five before discovering the trumpet and the freedom of jazz.

Dima performs across Europe with symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles, and his band Gallowstreet. He is also releasing his personal debut album in April.

Inspired by teachers who combine high musical skill with humility, openness, and passion for their students, he brings the same mindset into his own lessons. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s personality, goals, and life, creating space for growth, curiosity, and exploration. 
 “I want students to truly understand what they are learning so the knowledge stays with them for years and supports them throughout their musical life.” Outside of music, Dima enjoys sports, cooking, dancing, watching anime and in his free time he also studies to become a professional massage therapist. Fun fact: Dima once wanted to become an actor and appeared in a TV commercial for Piko juice.

🎻 Camille Rabot

Violin Mentor - Jazz / Classical / Pop

Camille is a violinist from a small town in France. Her musical journey started with a simple childhood memory. While listening to her older brother’s violin lessons with her mother, she fell in love with the sound and immediately asked to play herself. She first started on the cello before moving to violin at age seven. At thirteen she decided to pursue music professionally, and entered the Conservatory in Lyon. She later continued her bachelor’s and master’s studies in the Netherlands, where she developed her career as both a performer and educator. As a writer and performer, she is active in projects such as Citrus Blossom and the immersive classical trio Ether, which blends classical repertoire with traditional music and storytelling. As a mentor, Camille brings curiosity, joy, and thoughtful discipline to her lessons. She believes learning music should feel like a journey of discovery. One that helps you build technique while connecting it with your ear, creativity, and sense of beauty. Her lessons adapt to each student, creating a supportive space to grow at your own pace. “My mentor Claire Bernard shaped the musician I am today through her discipline and deep search for beauty in sound. I’m now writing a book with her to continue the legacy of Dominique Hoppenot, and through teaching I hope to pass on that same love for listening, curiosity, and musical discovery.” Outside the teaching room, Camille enjoys playing music with friends, reading, exploring new ideas, and spending time with her loved ones. Her dream collaborations would be with David Oistrakh or Dhafer Youssef (though she admits there are way more on that list). When booking your free trial, expect attentive guidance, curiosity, and a mentor who will help you listen deeper, grow with confidence, and discover your own voice through music. Camille teaches in Dutch, English and French.

The power of music

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME MUSIC TRULY OVERWHELMED YOU?

A timeless melody on the radio that left you awestruck and weightless

 

The soft hum of a lullaby that wrapped around you like a warm embrace.

Music has quietly accompanied every milestone in your life: the joy of celebrations, the tears of goodbyes, and the moments that shaped who you are. It’s that song that turned a simple drive with friends into an unforgettable adventure, or that melody that forever echoes the feeling of falling in love for the first time.​

In tough times, a song that speaks to your struggles can feel like a friend who understands your pain, helping you feel less alone.

A powerful song can inspire you to see the world differently, spark change, and give you the courage to follow your dreams.

Music isn’t just background noise. It’s a key part of our emotional and mental world.

Have you ever watched a live performance and felt that longing to be up there, expressing yourself through music? Without the skills, it’s like seeing others at a dance and not knowing the moves. You have the spark, you hear music in your head, but the notes feel just out of reach.

Maybe you’re already a pro who knows how learning an instrument can be deeply rewarding, but now, you’re looking for guidance to reach the next level.

Like having a paintbrush but not knowing how to paint

​​​Maybe you’ve always wanted to play an instrument but never found the time.

​​

Maybe you believe that learning music is only for kids, something you missed out on.

Maybe you even tried to learn before, but got discouraged by the complicated theory.​

Imagine breaking through these barriers with a teacher who truly understands your goals and helps you achieve them. At Tritone, you are guided by certified, passionate people who tailor lessons to your needs. Our teachers are more than instructors: they're mentors, guiding you to discover your unique sound and overcome these obstacles.
