(English bellow) NL Vioolspelen is perfect om jezelf te uiten, maar het vraagt wel om de nodige studietijd. Dit wordt een stukje makkelijker met muziek waarvan je houdt, door samen met anderen te spelen en door duidelijke, bereikbare doelen te stellen. Dit wil ik allemaal ondersteunen tijdens mijn vioollessen, zodat de muziek niet alleen in de les blijft, maar echt een deel van het leven van de leerling wordt. Muziek is er immers om van te genieten en om te delen!In het combineren van verschillende methodes en stijlen heb ik de meeste efficiëntie gevonden. Ik houd erg van folk- en hedendaagse muziek, en van improviseren tijdens de les. Op die manier trainen we niet alleen het noten lezen, maar ook het gehoor, de creativiteit en het gevoel voor andere muziekstijlen. Ik vind het geweldig als leerlingen hun eigen ideeën, vragen en favoriete muziek meenemen naar de les, zodat ze echt actief betrokken zijn bij hun eigen leerproces. ------------------------------ ENG Playing the violin is the perfect way to express yourself. Practicing takes time, but it becomes much easier when you play the music you love. In my lessons, your creativity is central. Along with a solid technical foundation, we train your ear and musical intuition through improvisation and by exploring styles like folk and contemporary music. I don’t believe in a rigid method; I fully adapt my teaching to what you need. Your own musical input and ideas are always welcome, and I love when the student brings their own music to the lesson. My goal is for music not to stay in the classroom, but to become an inspiring part of your daily life. Music is to be enjoyed and shared!

As a professional classical violinist, I offer violin lessons to both children and adults in the Zwolle area. I have a master's degree from the Rotterdam Conservatory and have more than 10 years of teaching experience. Please feel free to contact me for more information or to make an appointment for a trial lesson. TRIAL LESSON In order to know whether a student is eligible (physically, musically and mentally) for violin lessons, an appointment will always be made for a trial lesson first. During the trial lesson I will get to know the student, I will perform a number of tests (motor and musical), I will check the violin for quality, size (if it concerns children) and completeness, and if the previous matters are in order, I will then give a trial lesson. I will also answer any questions you may have about the lesson conditions. LESSONS PLANNING Although the lesson time is in principle always agreed upon each time, it is preferable that the lesson is held on the same day and time every week. If it concerns a novice student, this is even essential. The reason is that a lot is involved in establishing a good basic violin technique and a good basic technique is essential to continue to progress in the long term. In this phase, a teacher must be able to intervene in a timely manner if things go off the rails. Because a basic learned incorrectly is very difficult to unlearn. The regularity of the lessons is important to provide the student with sufficient time to process what has been learned. Only for the more advanced student, lessons can also be given every other week. CLASS LOCATION The lessons take place at my home in Heino or at the student's home. CLASS DURATION A lesson lasts 60 minutes. READING NOTES Whether or not you can read music is still unimportant in the initial phase. In fact, the first lessons will not cover notes at all. This is because it is very important to learn to make music with the ears and from empathy. Of course, being able to read music from a certain level is indispensable, but if you start doing that right away, the emphasis is too much on the visual and that is not good. After all, the notes emerged from the music, and not the other way around. TEACHING MATERIALS As long as the level is such that notes do not play a role, the student's memory and the notebook will be the only teaching material. When the student is ready for notation, he or she will switch to simple textbook methods in which both reading notes and melodies are literally taught through play. As the level progresses, the material will become increasingly difficult and the books will be adjusted accordingly. We will soon move on to duets in which the student plays together with the teacher. This is not only fun to do, but also forces the student to listen extra carefully / use their ears. Just like the violin, the teaching materials must be purchased yourself, although photocopies may also suffice in the initial phase. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I'm a violist and music teacher, and my journey with the viola began by chance. Before I picked up the instrument, I didn't even know it existed. I started relatively late, at fourteen, compared to my peers, and therefore I understand well the challenges that come with starting an instrument later in life. Yet, from the very first moment, the viola felt like my instrument, and it has been my great passion ever since. Although my main subject is viola, I also teach violin based on my methodology training at the ArtEZ Conservatory. My portfolio includes repertoire and teaching materials for violin, allowing me to effectively guide students on both instruments. I teach students of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced amateurs, and I focus not only on technique and interpretation but also on the feeling and experience of music. I guide my students in connecting body, emotion, and sound, helping them to unleash the music that already resides within them. My lessons are designed to develop confidence, self-expression, and a joy in playing, whether they're exploring the viola or the violin.

Would you like to play the violin? Have you ever had a violin lesson, but let it go again? I would like to give you the opportunity to try or pick it up again! My name is Lonne and I give violin lessons to children and adults with great enthusiasm. Everyone is different, one shy, the other very unrestrained. In your own way and at your own pace, I want to teach you as much as possible. In the lessons I pay attention to teamwork, music games, a healthy playing position, fun, musicality and technique. I have studied different methods and can therefore find the right method for a person. For beginners I often use the "method of the 21st century", in which students learn to play the violin in a playful way. For students it is instructive and fun to show what they have learned on violin lessons, that's why I hold promising moments every year. I graduated from the conservatory in 2014. Besides teaching with great enthusiasm, I work as a soloist and play chamber music in various ensembles. I also play in orchestras and I work in light music. My main goal is that students enjoy playing music by making violin. Age does not matter, everyone can learn it. I hope to see you at a trial class!

“I play music because I need to express my emotions” - Ray Chen Hi! My name is Eider and I’m a Spanish violinist living in Zwolle. I’ve been playing the violin since I was 7 and after studying my Bachelor’s Degree in Spain, I’m about to finish my Classical Music Master in ArtEZ Conservatorium. I’ve been teaching violin for more than 3 years now to students of different ages and levels. I also love performing in orchestras and chamber music groups. For me, music is a language and it’s all about storytelling and sharing emotions. Therefore, I like to look for a balance between teaching technique and using imagination and creativity. My goal is for the students to enjoy the lessons, and since this means something different for each student, I like to adapt my teaching accordingly. Playing the violin is having your own artistic voice and expressing yourself, and it can be so much fun! :) I can teach in English and Spanish to students of all levels: amateur, beginner or advanced.

These courses are primarily aimed at beginners or false beginners wishing to learn the violin on a solid foundation, in a progressive and motivating way. Trained in classical and chamber music by a conservatory professor, I have developed an approach to the violin that is both rigorous and accessible, always keeping the pleasure of playing as the objective. We work on the essential fundamentals: posture, bow hold, intonation, tone, and basic musicality. Emphasis is placed on a clear progression adapted to each student. Each lesson is personalized according to your pace and objectives, whether it's to discover the instrument, consolidate the basics or evolve towards a more expressive style of playing. Courses are available in French or English.

Hello and thank you for visiting this website! I'm an established, qualified, and experienced violin teacher who has worked in London for the last 26 years. I'm now back in Belgium for some new musical adventures, as well as to meet new students. I welcome students from the age of four to adults. I have a real passion for transmitting my love of music, and I like to have a creative, playful and holistic approach to teaching. I also play the piano and often use it for aural training or to accompany my students (or do violin duets). I do believe that music is not just for competitions or exams but a skill for life that can bring tremendous joy, discoveries, friends and fun along the way. Learning an instrument is also a great way to foster different qualities such as patience, diligence, presence, resilience, deep listening and the ability to express and share our emotions with others. Having explored many different violin methods and styles, I take a different approach according to each student. I like to teach a solid classical technique with some scales, studies and pieces, but there are many different ways to make music enjoyable or find other paths depending on the student's goal. Although I was trained classically in Belgian Conservatoires and the Guildhall School of Music, I do like to teach a variety of music that is not just classical (Celtic, world, klezmer, jazz, tango, film music, pop...). I often encourage my students to compose or improvise freely. In the last two decades, I have led many youth orchestras and violin workshops and worked for many different primary and secondary schools in England. I'm a member of the European String Teachers Association. I’m looking forward to meeting you, please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.
