About Me
My name is Daniela and I am a cross-over violist from Costa Rica. I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 to do my studies in Classical Music and Latin Music (Viola) at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam. I am now at the end of my studies and during these years in the Netherlands I have played in many different projects from different musical styles: classical orchestras and chamber music, pop and jazz orchestras, like the Jong Metropole and have experience playing and recording with different pop, jazz and world music bands. Currently, I am the band-leader of my own latin project called La Reunión, member of a latin band called Las Hienas and working as a freelancer with different musical projects.

Violin lessons for beginners and intermediate students- children, adults and seniors!Learning how to play a musical instrument is a path that only leads to growth. It is an activity that is challenging, beautiful and extremely rewarding. It allows you to connect your body and mind through a creative proccess that can be shared with others. I really believe that studying the violin has the power to stimulate the intellect, enhance creativity and let us enjoy music, not only by listening, but also by producing it! If this resonates, please keep reading!
I am Julia, a classical violin player. I studied at Codarts university in Rotterdam and played in an Orchestral Academy for a year in Spain. I discovered I enjoy teching very much while following a minor in education during my bachelor. Throughout the course I learned pedagogy, didactics and methodology, and worked with students of different ages and levels of experience. I love teaching because it allows me to share my knowledge and challenges me to be more imaginative and flexible.
The lessons are tailor-made. This means that the goals are going to be adapted to YOUR wishes taking in account previous experience, expectations and musical taste. Even though I have a classical training, I am open to work with different styles. I teach children from 5 years old onwards and adults.

VIOLIN and VIOLA lessons for ALL ages and levels with a professional teacherGet into and explore the world of classical music through violin and viola !!
Dear music lovers,
I'm a professional violin and viola player who teaches students of all ages and levels.
During my musical education I had the opportunity to study in different conservatories in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland, awakening in me a passion for teaching the violin and viola and thus beginning to give private lessons and coaching youth orchestras.
In my lessons I help the student to feel enjoyment while playing, and feel happy with their instrument in order to connect with their musical imagination.
Considering the level and age, different methods and exercises will structure the lesson in order to get good aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body posture.
Not only interested in classical music?
The stable technical base you will reach during the lessons will give you the tools to feel free and comfortable playing in other styles with your instrument.
Don't miss this opportunity!

Simone
Viola lessons - discover the rich, warm sound - from beginner to advaced studentsThe viola, with its rich, mellow tone and deeply expressive character, offers a musical experience unlike any other. Whether you are a teenager discovering the instrument for the first time, or an adult returning to music with renewed curiosity, my viola lessons offer a space to grow both musically and personally.
In these lessons, you will not only explore the viola’s warm and expressive voice, but also cultivate self-awareness through mindful posture, body awareness techniques, and focused listening. Learning to play the viola well requires attention to the body as much as to the instrument, and together we will create a practice that encourages both physical ease and musical sensitivity.
Lessons are tailored to individual needs and goals, including:
• Preparation for exams or auditions
• Building or refining technique
• Expanding musical expression through repertoire and improvisation
In addition to one-on-one instruction, we will also make music together — exploring duets to deepen your sense of musical connection and communication.
Whether your aim is to perform, to progress, or simply to enjoy the intimate sound of the viola, these lessons offer a supportive and inspiring environment in which to develop your skills.
For more information please get in touch.
