About Me

Hello! I am an enthusiastic and passionate musician, who also really enjoys sharing this with my students. To me, music is about so much more than technique and ability, it is about communication, conversation, and expression. Of course how you hold the instrument and use the bow is vitally important to this goal, and these elements require a lot of hard work and dedication, but this is always in service of making creative, beautiful music. When you are learning an instrument it is so easy to get caught up in the physical challenges, which is why I love reminding my students (and myself!) not to forget to play for enjoyment too :)

Inês
Vioollessen Private Violin lessons in Amsterdam | Professional Violinist
Hello! I am Inês, a professional violinist based in Amsterdam. After completing my Bachelor at Codarts-Rotterdam and my Master and Postgraduate in violin performance at the Koniklijk Conservatory Brussel, I am currently active as a freelance violinist and perform regularly in chamber music concerts, having played in festivals such as the Grachten Festival, OUTDOORS, Opera Forward Festival, Uitmarkt, among others. I am also passionate about teaching, and have experience working both in individual lessons with a wide range of ages and in conducting group workshops for children. Wether you are taking your first steps with the violin or if you have played it before and want to pick it up again, I will guide you through developing your musical ear, cultivating a solid and healthy technique, reading music scores fluently, and mostly - to enjoy playing music!

Ana
Violin and theory lessons for all levels
Music is a powerful tool. It brings people closer and allows you to express and experience things you probably never even imagined. I’m a violinist who just graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam, Under Eliot Lawson’s tutoring, and who now studies with Lisa Jacobs. I have a lot of experience teaching and performing in several countries around Europe. During my lessons, I hope to not only help you become a better violinist and overall musician, so I will not only give you musical and technical insight, but also a sprinkle of music theory. The violin is one of the most lyrical and yet versatile instruments: give it a try!

Simone
Viola lessons - classical and baroque - from beginner to advaced students
The viola is a wonderful instrument, it has a warm and passionate voice and is characterized by its sweetness and softness in both the low and high registers. If you are interested in learning to play the viola - classical or baroque - or feel the need to improve your skills, or if you have to prepare for an exam or an audition, just send me a message and I will gladly be your viola teacher! Being an instrument that is not as comfortable as the violin, sound production in the viola needs special attention. In my lessons I try to increase in my students the ability to perceive and recognize the position of their body in space and the state of contraction of their muscles. We will talk about pure instrumental technique and make music together, but we will also speak about self-awareness, relaxation techniques and posture. Studying the viola can thus become a transcendental way to discover the potential of your body and mind.

Marie-Louise

Before coming to Amsterdam, I was a permanent member of one of Australia’s top professional orchestras. My Dutch skills are progressing, but at the moment I can only teach in English! I hope to share the joy of music making with you!

Please contact me before booking a lesson so that I can understand your priorities and, in accordance with your level of experience and individual learning pace, embark on this musical journey.
