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.

Alejandro
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.

Violin lessons for beginners, amateurs or professionalsHello everybody!
My name is Judit Agulló, I am 25 years old and I have been a musician and lover of learning for 17 years.
From my beginnings with the violin until today I have always been in continuous search of new knowledge. It has been several of my teachers who have marked me as a violinist and that is why for the last 5 years I have been following the path of teaching, something I am passionate about.
I obtained my superior degree in violin performance in Spain 5 years ago and since then I have combined my work as a violin teacher with other studies such as the master's degree in musical research which I obtained 3 years ago and the current master's degree in performance which I am currently studying at the Conservatory of Ghent.

Violin, piano and music lessons for all levels/leftijden!Violiste, pianist and musician, based at the Conservatori Superior del Liceu. I was given private lessons on the violin, piano and music on all levels. Mijn missie as lerares is om all students, jong en minder jong, in the state te places om in het instrument hun uitdrukkingsmiddel te vinden en de verschillende technical and musical aspects te reinforce, even than the met betrekking tot fysiek comfort en lichaamsbewustzijn om op de meest aangename manner te can play.
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.
When the children combine it naturally, it reinforces their rationality with mimetic learning and pleasure in music, so that with the success of their creativity and musicality they can develop.
