    Violin: Classical music. (Re)discover your love for music and play it with ease.

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    I don't mind encountering difficulties on your learning path as a musician because it has allowed me to discover, research and learn many different ways of playing the violin.

    What came of it? I am a passionate, versatile classical musician who has found a special connection with her instrument.

    Together with the student I like to look for their perfect posture, I try to make the learning process enjoyable and strive for new levels of playing.

    No matter how seriously we take it sometimes, we should not forget why we started music: because it feels good.

    About Me

    I started playing violin when I was 8 years old back in Riga, Latvia. Thanks to wonderful teachers like Vija Studente, Anete Zvaigzne and Andris Baumanis, I was able to fall in love with music and start using violin to be a part of that world.

    In 2014 I have moved to Amsterdam for a preparatory year at the Concervatorium van Amsterdam, then in 2015 - I met a perfect teacher to guide me and started my bachelor degree at the Conservatory of Ghent with Olga Zolotareva.

    To me, it has always been crucial to have a good relationship with my violin teachers as it shapes the way we play so much and sometimes even who we are. In my opinion, every student deserves a unique, personal approach. Everyone has their own reason for playing music. Each and every one of us, no matter if we are professional musicians, students or just making music in our spare time as a hobby - things we find motivating and our reasons are all unique and none of them are “right” or “wrong”.

    I love music and violin helps me have a distinct voice within it. Playing music can be an outlet for feelings, emotions or ideas that otherwise would be hard to express. I love every aspect of it and will do my best to make it possible for others to find something special for themselves within the discipline.

    If you are not familiar with music theory - that is not a problem at all, I can provide basic knowledge along with your progress on the instrument - I also learned the theory from my violin teacher even though I had separate theory lessons at school - it was a lot more clear with the instrument in hand and very simple approach from my teacher.

    Are you an advanced player, maybe even thinking of coming to study at a conservatory? I would be more than happy to provide a different perspective on your playing, give advice or redirect you to the next step if you need it. I know first hand how scary, frustrating and hard it can be, but at the same time rewarding and magical.

    Cellist graduated in Musikene (Basque Country), offers to give private lessons in Gent. All ages.
    After finishing my studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del País Vasco (Musikene), I am now in Ghent for my Master's degree at the Kask Konservatorium & School of Arts Ghent. I am eager to share the knowledge I have acquired and to help students who are really interested in advancing in the world of the cello, both musically and technically, as well as to transmit to my students the versatility of our instrument and its beauty. I focus especially on the relaxation of the body in order to find a good quality sound. Starting with a methodology adapted to the level of the student, together we can make great progress in the subject! Sometimes one can forget how important the use of the body is and how the right use can make everything easier, that's why I like to introduce my students to different fields related to body and mental relaxation.

My METHODOLOGY states that it is active and developed from critical thinking and het om the vanishing problems that you lose that you can voordoen tijdens de persoonlijke studietijd. With other words, I streef ernaar u te leren spelen.

    After studying violin and piano in Boston, at New England Conservatory with Eric Rosenblith, Master Classes with Dorothy DeLay, chamber music with Leslie Parnas and Burton Fine, as well as other Juilliard teachers and studies with Robert Soetens in France, I have been fortunate to enjoy over twenty years of teaching violin, viola and piano students. I am currently teaching in Central Florida as well as online through my Unique Musicality curriculum business. My initial studio experience began during my education at New England Conservatory, where I began teaching young students in the Boston area. Later, I was able to give master classes, private and group lessons in France and Asia as a member of touring orchestras. I currently teach lessons as well as providing master classes for select students and organizations. For the past two summers, I was a coach and performer at the Assisi Performing Arts Chamber Music Festival in Assisi, Italy. I have also been a judge in various Youth Symphony competitions as well as civic organizations that hold music competitions, such as the Kiwanis Club Arts and Music competition. My students have achieved entrance into summer conservatory programs including Peabody’s Music Summer Camp, Emory University’s Atlanta Chamber Music Festival, Franklin Pond Summer Intensive Chamber music program, Assisi Italy Performing Arts Chamber Music Festival, as well as continuing their college studies at Music Schools and Conservatories.
