Would you like to learn to play the violin? Violin lessons for everyone!

I am a professional violinist. I graduated with distinction at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Master) and hold a Bachelor Diploma from Codarts (Rotterdam).
I also pursued a masters degree in Music Education at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

I teach students of all ages and levels.
I have thirteen years of teaching experience in the Netherlands and in Belgium ( privately and at music schools: Hart Muziekschool in Haarlem and Vioolstudio 020! in Amsterdam).

In my lessons I help the students to find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body use, enabling them to connect with their musical imagination.
The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes.

Saxophone lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians
Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁 I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,... After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw! Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc. Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

Piano and Music Theory Lessons for Beginners! Polish/English
Hello :) I'm a young yet experienced pianist from Poland, I've finished 12 years of Frideric Chopin's Music School there. I have been tutoring since I was 16. As for my teaching style, I care a lot about the basis, so students I have usually have a very stable ability of playing piano. Also, I'm an English teacher for kids at the moment, so I am very good at communicating with them and I love spending time developing their skills. I've been collecting note sheets since a little child, so except of the theory, I can suggest some basic, popular songs to learn.

Dring Dring Dring! The guitar swings! beginner - intermediate course
Hello, I am a passionate young musician, trained trumpeter and self-taught multi-instrumentalist, I have been exploring the many facets of musical expression for 15 years. I have been playing the guitar for 7 years, to accompany the song, to create an improvisation support or atmospheres and melodies. The musical openness, the technical background and the experiences of multiple styles allow me to adapt my teaching to the needs and wishes of the student, and lead me to offer an accompanied teaching on the guitar, the piano, the percussions, decorated Harmonica or Trumpet. On this support a work of improvisation and musical listening is also offered. After my CEM course at the Bayonne Regional Conservatory and one year of private teaching, I have the educational tools necessary for effective technical education. Recalling the interest of technique as a means at the service of expression, I invite my students to explore and work through play, and to find their own expression. Learning the theory can be done upstream, or integrated into the learning of instrumental playing. Welcome to all students from 6 to 666 years old!

Don’t feel shy to contact me if you have questions. Valeriia I will be a hundred cellos, all in one. I will play – I will sing, I'll have fun. I'll describe a murky rainforest, with the rhythm in my soul. I'll be a thunderous storm, It's my only goal. And when I'm done with my few songs, People stand: applause. I'll smile and bow down with thanks, It's my only cause.
