Enthusiastic violin teacher for all levels - Graduate of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp

I am a versatile, enthusiastic and dedicated violin teacher, taking on students of all levels and ages from beginner to highly advanced. Being an internationally performing violinist, with a masters degree from both the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, I have a lot of knowledge and experience that I’ve been sharing with students over the past years and that I’d love to share with more!

A big part of my teaching has developed through my own learning journey with the violin. In learning the violin, I value the importance of technique as well as creative, musical development. During a lesson I will therefore touch on technical exercises according to the students needs, improvisation to stimulate creativity and work on musical pieces. We will, during weekly lessons, work towards reaching the student’s goals with high quality results. My approach is tailored to each individual student and above all, encouraging.
I have a wide knowledge of the violin repertoire and am happy to work on a student’s piece of choice as well as suggest suitable works for different levels.
Additionally, I have experience working towards ABRSM grade exams amongst other assessments. I can fluently teach in English, Dutch and French.

My international orchestral experience includes playing at the Barbican, Bozar, De Doelen and the Oriental Arts Centre Shanghai.

Additionally, I have performed with pop and jazz artists such as Whitney, Ambrose Akinmusire and the Amazing Keystone Bigband, I have collaborated with dance and theatre such as “VENN” by Side Larbi Cherkaoui and created my own show with original film “Melancholia”. Passionate about improvisation, I have played in traditional music bands as well as studied classical and experimental improvisation with David Dolan, Robert Levin and Yves Senden.
