Violin or viola private lessons for children or adults

From 49.97 C$ /h

I am a professional viola player from Estonia, currently living in Antwerpen. I have studied in multiple conservatories in Europe and have been a member of the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra.

I enjoy working with children and I have experience teaching toddlers violin from the age of 3. Of course at that age it's more about the discovery of the sound and rhythm in our bodies in general 😊

I have also taught adults and I must say that some of my best conversations and connections have been made through teaching music to grown ups who want to learn something for themselves. I have had total beginners as well as adults who once studied at a music school and had quit for various reasons.

If you are already a student who just needs some support in technique/general music ideas, then I'm also very happy to help. I have been guided by many kind and knowledgeable teachers and I would love to share what I've learned over the years.

I work in English(or maybe very broken Italian 🥲, since I studied there for 2 years). So if you are someone who needs help with violin/viola, then please feel free to contact me.

I give violin lessons to beginners and advanced players. In a pleasant, playful atmosphere you will learn a solid basis for making music with confidence. In addition to the classical trajectory with lots of beautiful polyphonic music, I also give you the opportunity to improvise and find your own sound.

For the study of the instrument, we will focus on a dynamic between, the study of the violoncelle and his technique, using scores, melodies, and improvisation. A method based also on the connection between brain-body that allows one to improve and enjoy the art of practicing in different ways.
Anyway, each student requires a specific method, depending on their dedication and objectives. The assigned method varies between students and growth by levels; this situation makes teachers make a decision. Sometimes the explanation is required in a theoretical or more dynamic way through videos, music, own compositions, improvisation, imitation, and feelings.
The study of music is an advantage aye allows me to develop theory, information, and suggestions more communicatively, so don't hesitate to contact me in case that you just wanna learn and enjoy classical and nowadays music and performances.

Maybe you are a violin student that needs some extra help with your courses. Maybe, you haven't ever tried playing the violin and you think now is the perfect time. Maybe your daughter or son has some kind of gift for music and you want them to explore and begin their way as musicians. Maybe you play another instrument but want some advice and exercises for improving yourself at theory courses as harmony, rhythm, intonation or music history.
In any of this cases, I can help you! In my lessons you will be free to choose any of this subjects, or even mix them, in order to get you to be a musician.

Hi! My name is Charlie and I'm currently a member of the Opera Ballet Vlaanderen Orchestra. Teaching has been the foundation of my musical life for over a decade. My teaching studio has hosted a private studio in Oslo, New York, Connecticut and now Antwerp. While living in New York I was the viola and violin professor at Pluckd Studio where I helped prepare students for music festivals, auditions and to establish a sound foundational approach to instrumental playing. While a student at Juilliard, I coached students in Juilliard’s Pre-College/MAP program and helped lead children’s concerts in Chicago, Austin, New York and Oslo. Whether you are a beginner, conservatory student or young professional, you can expect a passionate and attentive lesson plan that will help you achieve your goals.

My lessons are offered in person! :)

I have been learning the violin and piano since 5 years old, and am currently taking a bachelor's in Music Performance in Violin, at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp.
Students of any age are welcome, and I have special experience with beginner and younger students, having given a lot of lessons in piano and music theory.
I teach in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and basic Dutch.

The individual violin lessons are personalized and tailored to the progress and learning ability of each student. Emphasis is placed on developing good posture and ease of movement at the early stage. We will then continue to revise and enhance technique while taking on a more challenging repertoire as they progress.
Lessons are stress-free and I always try to provide a safe and calm environment for an engaging and fun class!
Games for little kids are an absolute must!

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a question! :)

After completing my Bachelor's degree in violin at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, I did a year of Erasmus at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf, in Germany. From September, I will start my Master at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen.
Discovering new ways of learning is very important to me. I like to seize opportunities and meet inspiring musicians during Masterclasses in Belgium and abroad.
Perseverance and work, while respecting oneself, are for me the keys to long-term progress.
Learning music with kindness is the most important thing for me. I adapt to the needs and desires of each student, so that the process is personalized and motivating. Being able to pass on my passion enriches me enormously and allows me to acquire new skills as a musician.
I teach in French and English. I also have some German and I plan to learn Dutch this year.
