From 59.99 C$ /h
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.

To the first lesson, bring your violin, regardless of its condition. I will assess whether you can use it as is and if so, I will tell you what you need. In absolute terms you need a violin, a bow and a notepad.

About Me
I have been playing the violin since I was 7 years old. I learned the violin by taking lessons in parallel at the academy and in private lessons with a teacher who used the Suzuki method. The combination of these two types of learning allowed me to benefit from a technical background on the one hand and to discover a vast repertoire on the other hand. During my adolescence, I also participated in many classical violin courses but also folk violin and even Bluegrass. Towards the end of my secondary school, I decided to pursue higher studies in classical violin. So I joined Igor Tkatchouk's class as a young talent at the IMEP (Namur). Then, I studied at the Lemmens Institute (Leuven) with teachers such as Wim De Moor, Nico Baltussen, Lilia Umnova. I obtained a bachelor's and a master's degree there and specialized in chamber music. Currently I study violin and music didactics at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp.
For me, teaching represents above all, transmitting the inexhaustible joy that music gives me. Human contact is very important to me in teaching the violin. It is therefore first of all about meeting a new person and discovering a part of our respective universes in order to then broaden their horizons. If my teaching is mainly based on my own experience as a student and as a violin teacher, I try to diversify my type of teaching and adapt as much as possible to the needs and wishes of each of my students based on their own abilities. My lessons are aimed at anyone wishing to learn the violin or improve as a violinist. I am therefore open to all types of students, all ages and all levels.
