Hello. My name is Ana. I am 27 years old and work as a professional violinist and music teacher in Tokyo.

I studied classical violin at the University of Hong Kong Conservatory Utrecht, where I graduated cum laude with a specialization in music pedagogy. Subsequently, I obtained a Master's degree in Orchestral Performance at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague.

I have taught students of various ages, levels, and nationalities in English, Spanish, and Dutch. My lessons focus on fostering self-confidence, creativity, expressiveness, and basic skills, while simultaneously ensuring students enjoy music. All of this is done at a pace tailored to each individual student.

Beginners and advanced players are very welcome. Let's grow together through music!

I look forward to meeting you.

Extra information

Lessons can be given in the language of your choice: Spanish, English, Dutch, and Japanese (I am still working on my Japanese, but lessons are certainly possible!). The first few lessons can be given on my own instrument if you don't have one yourself yet :) Please note: this is only possible if you are older than 12 due to the size of the instrument.

About Me

I am a creative, disciplined, and internationally minded violinist and music educator with a strong passion for teaching, artistic growth, languages, and intercultural communication. Having lived and worked in different countries, I value curiosity, adaptability, and meaningful human connection both in education and in music. I enjoy creating positive and inspiring learning environments where students can grow with confidence, creativity, and enjoyment while developing their own artistic voice.

Education

I completed my Bachelor of Music in Classical Violin at HKU Utrechts Conservatorium in the Netherlands, where I graduated with honors and specialized in pedagogy. During my studies, I received extensive training in violin performance, chamber music, orchestral studies, teaching methodology, and music education.

I later completed a Master of Music in Performance with orchestral specialization at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague under the mentorship of Japanese violinist Arisa Fujita. Alongside advanced performance training, my studies focused on artistic development, orchestral preparation, and academic research. In 2025, my predoctoral thesis was published by the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, reflecting my strong interest in artistic research, violin pedagogy, and musical interpretation.

Throughout my education, I also participated in masterclasses and advanced training programs with internationally recognized musicians and pedagogues, further shaping my artistic and educational approach.

Experience / Qualifications

I have several years of international experience as both a professional violinist and music educator in Spain, the Netherlands, and Japan. Alongside private teaching, I worked as a violin teacher at music schools in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, teaching students of different ages, levels, and cultural backgrounds in English, Spanish, and Dutch.

As a performer, I have collaborated with orchestras and ensembles across classical, jazz, film music, and intercultural projects. I have performed as concertmaster, soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral violinist in venues such as Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Konzerthaus Berlin. I have also collaborated with internationally recognized artists and projects including Jong Metropole, Metropole Academy, Snarky Puppy, and CineMusic Orchestra.

In addition to teaching and performance, I also gained experience in project management and music production through artistic and recording collaborations, developing strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills in international creative environments.
