Viola or violin technique, practise methods, musicality and body awareness.

Van 54.99 $ /h

As a viola player, I specialize in viola lessons from beginning to a more advanced level, but I also can teach violin to beginners or intermediate.

The method I use is first to adapt to the student's wishes and then find a way to achieve this within a relaxed and healthy relationship with the instrument. This approach is based on technique and of course making music!
In this lesson we could also work different styles, as I like to experiment and I find important to expand your knowledge and have a wider idea about expression while making music.

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.

The benefits of learning music are well known, from an early or old age. Which is why I enjoy making people improve their musical skills, I have a year of experience teaching children and I also did 6-month research for children to improve their attention span through music. Depending on the level at which you are, we will find the methodology that is most convenient, always trying to maintain motivation and progress.

I am currently a classical music student at Codarts, Rotterdam. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

My name is Victoria. I give violin lessons in Rotterdam. Picking up a new instrument can sometimes be very difficult, so I will help you in this learning process. I can help beginners and advanced violinists to improve. My experience is that playing with a more experienced musician is more fun and benefits the development.
As said, the level doesn't matter. I teach children (from 4 years old) and adults. Lessons can be given in Dutch, English or Russian. My program is very flexible and offers space for personal input. Whether you want a specific repertoire or you want to prepare for an audition, I can help you.

Hello everyone, my name is Bardia an experienced and enthusiastic violin teacher in Rotterdam.
The key words for my teaching are fun and personal development.
What matters the most to me is to have students feeling at ease with my teaching and feeling motivated after a lesson. This is why we will be playing lots of pieces together in duos, trying to develop complicity at your own pace, no rush ever.
Last but not least, I also want to train and instruct students to reach a high mental level so as to express themselves free from constraints and stresses.

Through a personalized method, tailored to your needs and wishes, we will cover together all sorts of repertoire, ranging from Baroque and Classical Music to more modern styles like Pop.
Lessons can be given in English, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, French and Farsi.

I teach at all levels from beginners to advanced with particular focus on amateur players.

I graduated from Rotterdam Conservatory in 2017 and I finished my Master in Early Music in Utrecht Conservatory in April 2024.

Get into and explore the world of classical music through viola!! Curious about it?

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!

My name is Daniela, and I am a cross-over violist from Costa Rica. I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 to pursue my studies at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Classical Music (Viola). I am currently continuing my journey at Codarts with a Master's degree in Latin Music.

During my time in the Netherlands, I have been part of a wide range of musical projects across different genres — from classical orchestras and chamber music to pop, jazz, and world music collaborations. I've performed with ensembles such as the Jong Metropole and recorded with various pop, jazz, and fusion bands. I am also the bandleader of my own Latin project, La Reunión, and work as a freelance musician with diverse musical groups.

Before moving to the Netherlands, I studied Music Education at the University of Costa Rica and worked for several years as a private teacher. I have experience teaching violin and viola to both children and adults.

As a teacher, I am kind and patient. I believe in the value of consistent, focused work and in helping students grow step by step. I aim to make the learning process feel easy and fun!

NIET BESCHIKBAAR IN DECEMBER/JANUARI. TOT FEBRUARI :)

WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY THE VIOLIN WITH PLEASURE?
CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR MUSICAL TALENT?

THE VIOLIN SCHOOL IN BARENDRECHT AND RHOON
VIOLIN LESSONS FROM SILVAIN

A very enthusiastic violin teacher with a lot of experience in teaching all ages. The main thing is the fun of playing! Together we work on developing your skills on this beautiful instrument.

Who is Silvain
I am an enthusiastic, cheerful violinist and violin teacher. Graduated from the conservatories of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, I have been combining concerts and violin lessons since my studies. It is an ideal combination for me, in which I can transfer my passion for the violin to my students. My goal is to get the best out of the student at every level and age. The pleasure of playing and developing independence on the instrument are paramount!

What do you learn
From the very beginning we work on a good, relaxed posture. It is the basis for a free feeling on the beautiful violin to be able to produce a beautiful sound. Learning to read notes comes about through play. Depending on your musical interests, we then look for material for that. The biggest challenge is to make a beautiful story out of every melody. Together we will increase your playing skills as quickly as possible!

The violin lesson
In a nice classroom in Barendrecht and Rhoon I teach children from the age of three. Adults are also very welcome to make a long-cherished wish come true. The lessons last half an hour or longer and are individual for the most personal attention possible. Many students of the Violin School also play in an orchestra. There are also students who have made it their profession. There are regular performances to be able to show what you have learned, if you wish.

The lesson conditions
I have competitive rates and flexible lesson conditions. You are not tied to an annual contract and if you are unable to attend, we will look for another lesson time in consultation. Feel free to make an appointment for a trial lesson. You are very welcome!

My name is Ann, a Finnish violinist and dedicated teacher based in Charlois, Rotterdam. I enjoy guiding students of all ages, both beginners and advanced players, toward confident and expressive music-making.

What to expect?

My approach is friendly, motivating, and focused on building a strong musical foundation. Whether you’re picking up the violin for the first time or looking to develop existing skills, I tailor each lesson to your goals, interests, learning pace, and personality. My lessons are available in English, German, and Finnish. Additionally, I speak a little bit of Spanish, Swedish, and Dutch.

Trial lesson

A trial lesson is a relaxed opportunity to get to know each other, try the instrument, and talk about your ambitions, favorite music, and practical details such as scheduling and location. No violin yet? You’re welcome to borrow one of mine during the trial, and I can help you choose or rent a suitable instrument.

Classical, tango and other music styles

Alongside classical music, I have a specialization in Argentinian tango music. I also have a lot of experience on performing and teaching other music styles such as contemporary, Latin, folk music and pop.
