Violin and solfège lessons for all ages and levels. Fun and serious at the same time

Hi! I'm Laura , violinist (1989). With teaching experience since 2005, I'm currently working at two music schools (in Delft en Brielle), but I'd like to see my private practice grow. I've graduated in the "Master in Performance" in 2011 ( Codarts, Rotterdam) and in two Bachelor degrees (Barcelona, Liceu - 2007; Rotterdam, Codarts - 2009).
I love teaching and I think that, next to performing myself, transmitting that and helping others do the same is a very important part of our lives.
I am open to different styles of music, so if the technique allows it, everyone can have a saying in the pieces they play.

Extra information

During the lessons I teach the convenient music theory as well.

About Me

I started teaching violin at two music schools while I was studying in Barcelona. Of course by then I was young myself, but I still remember each of the students I had.
I believe music, and teaching it, has very good consequences in our "daily" life. One learns how to work towards a goal, how to play together, listening to others, feeling emotions.
There are different methods/books that I use, choosing them according to the needs of the student.
I work quite a lot (but never till it gets boring!) in intonation and technique skills, not only at higher levels but also with beginners, since I believe that it's important to learn good since the beginning and always pay attention to the sound.
I am busy with my own performing career as well, which I believe it's also important (not only for me) for a teacher who wants to transmit the passion for music.

Music Theory (ABRSM Syllabus), Score Study/Conducting
Music theory is very important for anyone looking to learn an instrument! It helps broaden an understanding of the instrument and will also help you progress faster! If you are looking to do ABRSM instrumental exams, you will need to pass grade 5 music theory in order to progress to grade 6 in your instrumental exams, therefore I will be able to guide you to passing your grade 5 theory paper and beyond. I am also a professional freelance musician and conductor, for anyone interested in conducting, we can discuss how to approach a score in relation to this.

Raphael
Violin lessons, music theory, musical improvisation, chamber music
With 27 years of experience as a violin teacher, artist and composer, I transmit my love of music in a creative, playful and holistic way. I have developed a method that adapts to each student according to their needs, levels and desires. I attach great importance to creating a caring and relaxed atmosphere where the student can flourish and develop both a solid technique and learn self-confidence. We will also discuss how to work efficiently and calmly and we will develop the qualities necessary to express yourself freely with your instrument. We will talk about musicality, physical well-being (the importance of breathing!), attentive listening and we will take the time to explore while having fun. If necessary, the basics of music theory will be learned gradually. Although I have a classical background I enjoy teaching a variety of music (Celtic, folk, klezmer, tango, jazz, films...) and I encourage my students to discover the most beautiful melodies in the repertoire and sometimes even to improvise or compose together. I often play chamber music (piano/violin) or violin duets with my students. My course is aimed at anyone who has the time to work on their instrument, children from 4 or 5 years old, adolescents, seasoned amateurs, beginners or advanced adults... Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information. I look forward to meeting you very soon!

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
