I have many years of teaching experience in addition to an international performing career in venues as Berlin Konzerthaus and London Cadogan Hall and solid education (Artist Diploma, M.M., B.M.) at the Indiana University Bloomington and in Germany.

VIOLIN LESSONS:
I structure each student's lessons tailored to his/her goals and needs. As a teacher, I aim to instill the love of learning and clearly analyze and effectively instruct. I encourage and I demonstrate with my own playing and guide with efficient practicing routines. I specialize in audition prep, college auditions, youth orchestra auditions, etc.

Education:
I earned my Bachelor and Masters in Violin Performance at Indiana University, where I also learned violin pedagogy. Then, I worked as a teacher's assistant in Germany and obtained another Master's and a Konzertexamen, the highest possible degree for violin performance in Germany. I worked with Grammy-nominated and world-renowned musicians like the concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic.

Performing Career:
I have continued my performing career since I was 14 years old in America, Europe, Asia and in the Middle East, performing extensively as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral musicians in classical venues, such as the Berlin Konzerthaus, Munich Hercules Hall, Laieszhalle in Hamburg, Stavanger Konzerthaus in Norway, and Cadogan Hall in London, home of the Royal Philharmonic. I took a part in CD recordings with the Rheinische Philharmonie Koblenz and Mainzer Virtuosi and in the Rheinhessen TV broadcasting of my solo performance of Mozart Concerto No.4.

Teaching Experience
As an active educator, I taught violin and mentored students in public schools and music academies including the IU String Academy and the state music academy of Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany. Not only have I taught one-on-one violin lessons from the beginning to advanced level of ages 4 through 60+ for more than a decade, but I also have taught group lessons like in Fairview Violin Project and coached chamber music and directed string ensembles.

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.
