About Me

Learning a new instrument is never easy. It involves a lot of motivation, patience and practice from both the student's and the teacher's side. I enjoy working with every single student, but specially with kids. Perhaps because I come from family with many children, so I am quite familiarized with them.
I was never very fast regarding the cello learning and I have always needed to think and to try in many ways before reaching my goals. So, I guess that what before it was a dissadvantage, now it helps me to be in my students shoes and also to help them better.
What I love the most about teaching is to see how one student makes progress and we reach our goals together. A success from one student is my best reward.

-Master in Music Performance by the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht

Dear violin lovers! I'm a violin teacher for 10 years now, I have been teaching in Portugal and the Netherlands. My lessons can be given in English, Portuguese, French or Spanish.

Playing the violin is my passion, especially when I can pass on my knowledge and love for music to my students of all ages and levels.

I work as a team with you, finding the right method that fit your needs. What is important for me is to work on a good connection with the instrument and find the right basis for the start of your violin playing.
In my violin lessons, I would like also to share with you my musical knowledge, show you recordings of great violin players, prepare with you pieces that you always wanted to play and give you the tools so you can achieve your goals in music. I like to share the general knowledge of violin playing as well as basic and intermediate music theory lessons so you can enter in the world of music, but especially to have fun!!

My lessons can be shared between violin and theory together depending on what you are looking for.

The lessons will be at my house if you are in need of an instrument we can find one for you!

I did my Bachelor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with the teachers Maria Milstein and Eliot Lawson and completed my Masters in Performance degree with excellency as well in Amsterdam under the guidance of Liviu Prunaru and Mathieu van Bellen while studying baroque violin with Shunske Sato.

I have my own violin class in Amsterdam, and I love teaching.

I look forward to sharing this adventure with you!
Hope to hear from you!

I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

Learn to enjoy music together while playing cello with me!

- I help to prepare for music/cello exams towards Music Academies as well as I assist students with practicing.

- I work with beginners, helping them with the basics of cello techinque together with basic music theory

- One of my methods while teaching is to play together with a student as much as possible to teach them the art of chamber music but also good communication skills while practicing together.

- I combine different methods depending on the student's needs (and technical level)

- as a professional cellist with an educational studies background I implement different psychological ideas including observational learning, ideas of Piaget and Vygotsky, and others

- I use the background in Feldenkrais technique lessons in my own teaching

Hello!
I am Irene, a graduated Master student at HKU Utrecht Conservatorium, and I offer cello lessons to people of all ages, both online and in person.
I have more than 7 years of experience teaching both adults and children, in private lessons, group lessons and music schools.
I have also taught music theory and piano to beginners.
The lessons could work in different ways: regular lessons every one or two weeks, or just a couple of times, etc. I have had students that only wanted to learn a bit, and I also have students that have continued for some years with me. I could also adjust the duration of the lessons from 30mins (especially for younger kids) to 1h.
The lessons can be in English and Spanish, and now also in Nederlands! (work in progress!)
The lesson can be in the student's home or in my studio in Vogelenbuurt, and also online! Flexible hours.
I give personalised attention and methods to each one of my students, as everyone is different!

If you have questions, please contact me!
I hope to see you soon!

My name is Wilma, and I have been playing the cello for most of my life. I am passionate about teaching, and have a lot of experience with it.

In my lessons, there is a good balance between technique and musicality. Knowing how to (technically) play the cello is important for being able to express yourself on it, and making beautiful music is the reason we play!

I involve my students in the process of investigating problems and experimenting with solutions. This gives people a better understanding of the challenges, and motivates them to engage with those.

It is particularly interesting that every person has a different way of learning and different needs, and I enjoy tailoring my approach to each student's personality, requirements and tastes, so she or he can optimally learn.

Above all, I love inspiring people, seeing them discover their own aptitude for music and growing as musicians. Playing the cello is a wonderful and fun experience and I heartily welcome anyone who would like to come on this adventure!

I teach in Amsterdam on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, in Zaandam in Thursdays, and in Utrecht on Saturdays.

Lessons are available in English, Spanish and Dutch.

Have you always dreamed of playing the cello but never taken the first step?
Are you an advanced cellist looking to refine your technique and deepen your musical expression?
Or are you returning to the instrument and searching for fresh motivation and structured guidance?

My lessons are tailored to each student's personal goals and musical journey. Whether you are a beginner discovering the instrument for the first time or an experienced player, we will work together to develop your technique, musical understanding, and artistic confidence.

In our lessons we explore the richness of the classical cello repertoire, and if you are interested we can also explore other musical styles. Technique and expression go hand in hand: we will work on bow control, a flexible and confident left hand, and a healthy, natural posture that allows freedom and ease when playing.

My goal is not only to help you play better, but to help you play with confidence, depth, and authenticity.

I also offer coaching for chamber music groups. With extensive experience in chamber music, I guide ensembles in refining their interpretation, communication, balance, and musical interaction.

Discover the expressive possibilities of the cello and let the music truly speak.

Children are welcome from around 4 years old.

Over the past ten years, I have specialized in classical violin performance, training in Spain and abroad through courses and masterclasses with professors from Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Rooted in the Galamian school of violin technique, my teaching approach is individual and flexible, adapting to each student’s needs and goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students of all ages — from young beginners to adult learners — and at different technical levels, always focusing on a balance between instrumental technique and musical understanding.
I believe that learning music and mastering an instrument is a long-term journey. That’s why my teaching philosophy emphasizes enjoying the process, building a strong foundation, and developing a genuine connection with both the violin and music itself.
