Violin Lessons for students of all ages
My violin classes are open to people of all ages and levels. You may have used to play the violin many years ago and are trying to get back at it but don't know how, you may have just started and you're looking for a teacher that can guide your first steps, you may be looking for regular coaching for an already developed sense of musicality — my classes accommodate all of the above and more.
Most of my pupils are already intermediate students who are dedicated to becoming the young violinists of the future, but that doesn't mean my class isn't for you if you are simply looking for a hobby! Music is about having fun together!
I can teach in English (fluent), Portuguese (fluent), Spanish (fluent) or French (basic).

About Me
Hello! My name is Manuel and I'm a classical violinist.I am originally from Lisbon, where I started to learn the violin at age 5, though I am currently based in Amsterdam — that is, when I'm not flying around for concerts.
I have studied in the Royal Academy of Music, in London, the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and the Fondazione Musicale Santa Cecilia. As a performer, I have presented myself a bit all over the place, both as a soloist and as a chamber musician, in countries like France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Andorra and China. I have been awarded prizes, both as a violinist and as a chamber musician in Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Italy and the UK.
As a violin teacher, I have been gaining experience since the age of 18, when I had my very first student. I currently have a small online class of my own thanks to the East-West Arts Initiative, in China, which creates a bridge between Europe and China through learning and sharing music.

Violin Lessons for children, adults, or anyone who wants to learn the violin!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.

Violin Lesson - exploring elements that creates tension and unease and what makes music sound differentExplore where your tension is coming from, where the error is happening between your body and your brain, and what music wants you to do with open, free wills.
As a violinist, I experienced long-term injury, and I explored many other fields like physical therapy, psychology, personal training, Alexander technique, Feldenkrais, and Body mapping for recovery. This experience has impacted highly on teaching as well, and I would love to help others with curious, open, and creative eyes and minds. From body posture to small technical issues, I will help you look at the issue from many different perspectives that can help you find a more organic way to make music.

Violin/ Viola lessons or basic music education, for EverybodyI am teaching all levels, all ages, all kind of stile on the violin or viola. Of course mostly classical, but if you wish we can also play folk, pop or other kind of songs.
We can focus on playing, on musicality, technical skills, chamber music, as you wish.

Travis
Violin and Viola Lessons in The Hague and Surrounding AreaI teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced violin and viola lessons to all ages. My lessons are customized for each student’s personality, learning style, and abilities. I put a strong emphasis on developing instrumental techniques and fundamentals. With a good foundation, students are more easily able to express themselves in an imaginative way. I challenge my students with high standards in a learning environment that is fun and engaging.
I believe that students learn best when they feel challenged, but also successful and confident about themselves. I am a detail-oriented and rigorous teacher but I find balance through patience and kindness. I maintain a keen awareness of pacing, interests, and motivation so that my students never get bored.

Violin lessons for all levels and ages (from 3) by a professional violinist and pedagogue in The Hague.Teacher at Strijkdomain (The Hague), Conservatory in The Hague, Vuurvlinderschool, Geldelandschool en a Het Klooster (Woerden).
I was under the tutelage of the great violin pedagogue Mr. Mauricio Fuks at Indiana University (USA) for 3 consecutive years (2018-2021) becoming his teaching assistant for 3 years (2018-2021). Moreover, I have taught young violinists in Elementary Schools, (e.g. Fairview Elementary School) and also collegiate students in the Jacobs School of Music (US). In Spain, I have teaching experience in several music schools instructing violinists ranging from 3 to 70 years of age. I have also worked with ADHD and autistic students with a great passion for violin playing and music-making.
I hold a master's in Violin Performance at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag and in Psychology and Music (UNED). I have an excellent command of English, and Dutch and a good working knowledge of French. I base my teaching method on Suzuki and Galamian methods, which I combine with a wide repertoire of progressive violin pieces.

Francisca
1st Violinist of Residentie Orkest - Lessons for Amateurs and Professionals (Den Haag) - 'Anyone can play the violin!'As a 1st violinist in Residentie Orkest (Den Haag), Francisca enjoys using her extra time to teach those who are music or violin enthusiasts.
"I firmly believe that passionate and hardworking people can learn and develop their violin skills independently of their current level. However, for that to be possible, it is essential to focus on the background of each individual and accommodate the teaching method according to the student's possibilities and wishes.
For the past 7 years I have been living in the Netherlands, I have taught students of different ages, nationalities, and levels. During my studies, I also had the chance to participate in a methodology course, which greatly influenced me as a teacher.
I am also interested in teaching orchestral excerpts and helping with audition preparation."
If you are interested and would like to get in touch, please send me a message. I would love to help you out :)
Irene
Violin teacher giving violin/music theory lessons in AmsterdamMy violin lessons are shaped in relation to the student's age, goals and interests. I have experience in teaching to children as well as adults and I like the student to have fun while learning such a wonderful thing as playing music. If you are a beginner I'll start with the basic theory, but always in combination with practical approach on the instrument.
I'm mostly working with classical music, but I'm also into other genres and I'm very open to help you in any way I can.
I can teach in english and in Italian (working on the dutch!) and I can't provide the violin, but I can give some suggestions about where and how to find it. Please contact me if interested!
Alejandro
Violin lessons for beginners to advanced, & music theory lessons.Private lessons for beginners to advanced level of violin playing. All ages are welcome. I am a professionally trained teacher and violinist for almost two decades. My lessons are given in English, Spanish and (soon) Dutch and French.
My teaching method is variable depending on the students' needs, but the goal is shared: to make a great musician and qualified violinist out of the pupil. I work on both technical and musical aspects from a (very) consciously prepared healthy and enjoyable perspective. Particular emphasis on having fun with the little ones!
I pay special attention to creating a personalized education and experience for every one of my students. I also give some additional tools applicable to the violin playing which includes: Introduction to Yoga, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique and Body & Mind. All the basic theory is taught too.
Occasionally, there are student concerts and collaborations with other teachers. (These may include some teachers from the Sweelinck Academy or the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and more).
From among the required tools for my lessons are: a violin and a bow, score and books purchases when necessary, and, from time to time, meetings with the parents. On occasion, I use digital tools like phone/tablet apps.
I can teach in various places near or in the centre of Amsterdam, or, depending on the need, I can move to pretty much wherever in The Netherlands.
About the homework, I send it to the students on a weekly basis and encourage them to participate on competitions and summer music courses. As always, this is conditional on the pupil's stage.
