Hello and thank you for visiting this website!

I'm an established, qualified, and experienced violin teacher who has worked in London for the last 26 years. I'm now back in Belgium for some new musical adventures, as well as to meet new students.

I welcome students from the age of four to adults. I have a real passion for transmitting my love of music, and I like to have a creative, playful and holistic approach to teaching. I also play the piano and often use it for aural training or to accompany my students (or do violin duets). I do believe that music is not just for competitions or exams but a skill for life that can bring tremendous joy, discoveries, friends and fun along the way. Learning an instrument is also a great way to foster different qualities such as patience, diligence, presence, resilience, deep listening and the ability to express and share our emotions with others.

Having explored many different violin methods and styles, I take a different approach according to each student. I like to teach a solid classical technique with some scales, studies and pieces, but there are many different ways to make music enjoyable or find other paths depending on the student's goal.

Although I was trained classically in Belgian Conservatoires and the Guildhall School of Music, I do like to teach a variety of music that is not just classical (Celtic, world, klezmer, jazz, tango, film music, pop...).
I often encourage my students to compose or improvise freely. In the last two decades, I have led many youth orchestras and violin workshops and worked for many different primary and secondary schools in England.

I'm a member of the European String Teachers Association.

I’m looking forward to meeting you, please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.

Vioolspelen is perfect om jezelf te uiten, maar het vraagt wel om de nodige studietijd. Dit wordt een stukje makkelijker met muziek waarvan je houdt, door samen met anderen te spelen en door duidelijke, bereikbare doelen te stellen. Dit wil ik allemaal ondersteunen tijdens mijn vioollessen, zodat de muziek niet alleen in de les blijft, maar echt een deel van het leven van de leerling wordt. Muziek is er immers om van te genieten en om te delen!In het combineren van verschillende methodes en stijlen heb ik de meeste efficiëntie gevonden.

Ik houd erg van folk- en hedendaagse muziek, en van improviseren tijdens de les. Op die manier trainen we niet alleen het noten lezen, maar ook het gehoor, de creativiteit en het gevoel voor andere muziekstijlen. Ik vind het geweldig als leerlingen hun eigen ideeën, vragen en favoriete muziek meenemen naar de les, zodat ze echt actief betrokken zijn bij hun eigen leerproces.

Playing the violin is the perfect way to express yourself. Practicing takes time, but it becomes much easier when you play the music you love.
In my lessons, your creativity is central. Along with a solid technical foundation, we train your ear and musical intuition through improvisation and by exploring styles like folk and contemporary music.
I don’t believe in a rigid method; I fully adapt my teaching to what you need. Your own musical input and ideas are always welcome, and I love when the student brings their own music to the lesson. My goal is for music not to stay in the classroom, but to become an inspiring part of your daily life.

Music is to be enjoyed and shared!
