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.

Russian is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is an official language of Russian, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is spoken in all other post-soviet countries, and also in Israel, the Balkans and the U.S.
As Russia has been in the process of positioning itself as a major economic force, including the Russian language in CV would definitely give a good impression to employers. Many companies today are looking for qualified international workers who master Russian.
Apart from that, being able to speak the Russian language will allow you to understand Russians and their culture, something which could never happen through cultural exchanges. You would develop a new view of Russian literature, music, and art.

Why choose me as a tutor?
- I am a native Russian speaker with experience in teaching the Russian language to non-Russians.
- I have been teaching Russian for years to beginners and advanced learners. My English and Japanese are fluent, so in our lessons, I will explain everything to you in a very understandable and easy way.
- I have been giving private lessons and teaching in classrooms. I have worked with children and adults.
- I ensure that you would enjoy my classes because I always try to make the learning process fun and relaxed. Our lessons will always be well organized and well structured.
-All the lessons are tailored exactly to your individual needs to help you succeed.
- I will help you to achieve the necessary level of communication in the shortest possible time since I also have been learning foreign languages and know the secret for learning them quickly. You will finally begin to speak fluently in Russian.

Even if you have not learned the language before, by the end of the course you will be able to speak Russian, learn all the grammar basics, understand native Russian speakers, read and write in Russian.

I look forward to meeting you!

I specialize in teaching the violin for every age, both children and adults. I am a professional violin player, with over 40 years of experience and I have been actively performing on Japan's elite music arena. The very unique element of my violin lessons is that unlike other music schools, you will learn how to play violin from a professional musician who is active in Tokyo’s music scene. I also offer students special insight into performance, such as how to interact with the public or how to convey emotion to your audience. I have 10 years of experience in teaching music both in Japan and my native country, Romania.

I offer four types of courses:
1) Introduction Program: My first notes for complete beginners (children or adults) where I teach violin fundamentals.

2) Basic Program for violin beginners and for intermediate violin players who wish to refresh their technical skills. Some of the techniques taught in this program are bow fundamentals, advanced bowing, vibrato, color, and tones, posture, etc.

3) Custom Program: for any type of student, especially when preparing for a music competition, a concert or whether you wish to improve a specific part of your violin technique.

4) Special Program: Gypsy Violin Sound for learning all the valuable insights of the Gypsy style that I acquired throughout his long career as a Django jazz musician. Both amateurs and professional violinists are more than welcomed to take this course. The repertoire will be adapted to your level.

Feel free to contact me with any questions about my classes.

Hello! I am Christian, graduated from the
Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes with a Master degree in Harmony. Playing violin is a good way to express yourself and I would love to guide you on how to play violin in a fun way. Students of all ages and levels are welcome!

Enjoying is the most important thing when playing violin, so I like to choose pieces that match the level and interest of the student. Of course you can bring pieces of your own choice as well! If you don't have much music theory knowledge that is fine, we can include that in the lesson as well. I look forward to working on fun pieces with you and discovering the music!

I offer private drum lessons for children and adults, tailored to each student’s level, goals, and musical interests. Lessons can be held in the comfort of your own home or in a rented music studio in Tokyo, particularly in areas along the Den-en-toshi and Yokohama lines.

Lessons focus on building strong fundamentals such as technique, timing, groove, musicality, and vocabulary while keeping learning fun, motivating, and practical. Students also have opportunities to participate in ensemble recitals, allowing them to experience playing with other musicians, build confidence, and apply what they have learned in a real musical setting.
