Violin Lessons — All Ages & Levels
In my lessons, you'll build a strong technical foundation — posture, bow control, intonation, and tone — while developing the musicality that makes playing the violin truly rewarding. Every lesson is tailored to you: your goals, your pace, and the music you want to play.
What we'll cover:
Fundamentals: holding the instrument and bow, producing a clear sound, reading music
Technique: scales, bowing styles, shifting, vibrato, and left-hand agility
Musicianship: rhythm, phrasing, dynamics, and expression
Repertoire: classical, and other styles depending on your interests
Exam, audition, or performance preparation when relevant
Preparation for amateur orchestra — learning your parts, tuning, ensemble skills, and playing confidently in a section
Who it's for:
Complete beginners, returning players, and more advanced students looking to refine their playing. Children and adults are equally welcome. I'm also happy to help musicians preparing to join or perform with an amateur orchestra.
As an active orchestral player myself — including as concertmaster with the Oosterhouts Symfonie Orkest — I can give you practical, first-hand guidance on what orchestral playing really asks of you.
I teach in a relaxed, encouraging way — no pressure, just steady progress and genuine enjoyment. Lessons can be given in English, Dutch, or Portuguese.
