Violin class, learn about body awareness and relaxed posture

76.65 C$ /h

Trough the course of my education period and in my professional life I have stumbled upon a lot of issues and difficulties I needed to figure out how to solve. Studying with multiple professors and going to private lessons gave me (and still is) different pieces of the puzzle and together with my own observations, I started to understand it is really about knowing how things operate and giving it some love and practice. I want to share everything I know to help you become a great violin player.

The classes will depend on what you want and need at the moment, it can be tehnical excercizes, posture, making you more aware and relaxed in general and/or repertoire directly, we will discuss it together and make it work for you!

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.

Do you already speak (a little) Dutch and are you looking for someone to practice with? I am happy to apply!

We speak Dutch and I observe where you make mistakes. I paraphrase in the conversation and correct where necessary. Before the lesson we agree on what you will practice on. This way we can also measure whether things are going better after the session. We can practice the other goals in the next session.

When you learn a language, a lot of practice is so important! You will notice that you make enormous progress when you speak Dutch for a long time with someone who listens carefully to you and coaches you on pronunciation, choice of words, sentence structure, ... You choose what your goal is, together we patiently practice until you succeed.

I am a teacher of Dutch to newcomers who speak Dutch at a primary school in Antwerp. Before this I gave Dutch lessons abroad to all ages for 8 years. Learning Dutch is not easy, but by practicing a lot with speaking, you quickly get 'that click'. Be sure to give it a try!

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.
