About Me

Mijn leerlingen beschrijven mij als een eeuwig enthousiaste, optimistische leerkracht.
Ik vind het zelf heel belangrijk dat je graag naar mijn les komt. Plezier en speelvreugde staan dus bovenaan mijn lijstje. Souplesse en een mooie klank zijn ook van groot belang om mooi viool te leren spelen. Dit leer je bij mij in combinatie met beweging: hoe minder "moeite" je voor een goede houding doet, hoe beter het zou moeten zijn :-)
Natuurlijk verwacht ik van jouw kant genoeg inzet en energie. Als jij er met andere woorden zin in hebt ben je van harte welkom!

___________

My students describe me as an enthusiast, optimistic teacher.
I think it is very important that you are happy.
Fun and joy while playing are at the top of my 'list'.
Souplesse and a beautiful tone are also very important when you want to play beautifully. With me you'll learn this in combination with movement:
the less "effort" you make for a good posture, the better it should be :-)
Of course I expect enough effort and energy from you.
In other words, if you feel like going for it, you are very welcome!

Professional violinist with pedagogical diploma.
Do you want to learn to play the violin or viola at your own pace and in a relaxed atmosphere? Without mandatory theory lessons, without pressure, stress or exams? Are you busy with school, or with other hobbies? Or is music school not compatible with a job and do you prefer the personal approach of private lessons? Then you can come to me for a solid lesson package, which we can adapt to your personal expectations and ambitions. This can be weekly, biweekly, or whatever, with or without theory. You can come to me both during the day and in the evening, a fixed day is not necessary either.

You do not need to have any prior knowledge of music theory or an instrument. Everyone can contact me, from beginners to advanced conservatory students. I have a lot of experience teaching young children, adolescents and adults. My approach is very personal and adapted to each student individually. All styles are possible. Your lessons are completely tailor-made to your needs.
Do you want to learn to play a specific piece? Or do you want to get to know the instrument better? Everything is possible!

Do you want to learn to play music at your own pace and in a relaxed atmosphere? Without compulsory theory lessons, without pressure, stress or exams? Are you busy with school, or with other hobbies? Or can the music school not be combined with a job, and do you prefer the personal approach to private lessons? Then you can come to me for a daily lesson package that we can adjust to your personal expectations and ambition. That can be weekly, biweekly ... with or without theory. You can come to me both during the day and in the evening, a fixed day is not necessary either.

Arabic Lute or Ud plays a very prominent role in Arabic music: people call him the 'sultan' of the Arabic instruments.
In these lessons we will approach the traditional instrumental repertoire with original point of view, Egyptian school, Iraqis school and Moroccan school, analyzing ornaments and elements of virtuosity.

I have many experiences teaching young children, adolescents and adults, your lessons are completely tailor-made to your needs.

First, let's remember what we're talking about. Music is and always has been inherent in all human societies. It has many roles and is a very powerful language. It's a universe in itself...

Music, and the violin in particular, brings me enormous joy every day. In fact, joy is, in my opinion, the greatest source of motivation given to us on earth. So, quite logically, I place it at the heart of my lessons.

It would be an illusion to pretend that learning to play the violin is a simple matter! So I accept the challenge, often neglected, to do everything I can to convey my enjoyment of playing the violin. By the way, as I just wrote, in French you don't say "travailler le violon", you say "jouer du violon". So even though the road is hard, I will do everything I can to make it fun.

My lessons are adapted to all levels, ages and profiles.

Together with each student, I strive to find the most suitable tests, so that everyone learns as effectively as possible and, above all, with pleasure!

I attach great importance to the correct use and well-being of the body. Playing the violin not only involves the cerebral and the emotional, it is also a complex physical exercise! For those who have already had lessons, I try to consciously or unconsciously replace bad habits learned with good ones, and for beginners to immediately install the correct automatisms.

I give individual lessons. But sometimes I bring students together to learn to play together and perform in public. Attending other people's lessons can also be very helpful in gaining a better understanding of the various mechanisms of the violin.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing my knowledge and love for music with you.

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.
