Work at home with a qualified professional musician and music teacher.
In South Limburg, from Eijsden to Roermond, and the Belgian border region from Tongeren to Maaseik.
The lessons last 30 minutes and are once a week or two weeks. I give bass guitar (pop, rock, funk, jazz) and double bass (classical and jazz). You decide the pace of the lessons yourself and you can always come up with music that you want to learn to play. Every pupil receives customization. I can always adjust the route.
You learn to play notes in a playful way. Later also music theory that is immediately put into practice. You learn to function independently as a bass player in a band, ensemble, combo or orchestra, or just, on your own.

I propose an apprenticeship based on musicality and efficiency. Technical, certainly, but always in the service of music, songs that we want to play. Because is not this the primary goal of the apprentice drummer / learn to play his favorite songs? Then: join a group, and be able to place themselves effectively on compositions.

Pop, rock, funk, rockabilly, soul, RNB, blues, country, swing, disco, hard rock, electro, and more!

These courses are intended for children as well as adults.

I put at your disposal syllabuses with course notes and didactic videos.

Feel free to come with your own requests! Except for the extreme metal: I have nothing against, simply I am not expert in blast beat and co, I can nevertheless recommend experts in the field.

TIMES :

I teach:
- Monday and Tuesday in Chênée;
- Wednesday in Jupille;
- Friday at Cointe;
- Saturday and Sunday in Baelen.
Also :
- Organization of internships during school holidays;
- Ensemble course and learning modules "How to play with a bass player";
- Demos, interactive animations and clinics;

- Member of the Belgian Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers.

In the lessons, we will be focusing on setting or developing all the required skills for the students to be able to perform independently, understand the musical language, and explore their own sound. Focusing on posture, hand coordination, rhythm, ear training, reading scores, and improvisation. So far my musical exposure in many different genres allows me to create a lesson that is adapted to the specific needs of my students. I have garnered the patience and belief in the idea that anyone can become a part of the music world with the proper amount of attention and guidance.

Since childhood, I have been passionate about music, singing, and dancing along to performances on television. My musical journey began in 2001 when I started training as a pianist. In 2017, I was awarded a full scholarship to study for a Diploma in Music at SEGi College Subang Jaya, Malaysia, where I expanded my skills in classical singing and violin. I later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Studies with First Class Honours from the Royal Irish Academy of Music, accredited by Trinity College Dublin, followed by a Master’s degree in Opera and Music Performance from the Conservatorium Maastricht, graduating with cum laude.

With 17 years of teaching experience, I have guided students of all levels—from beginners to aspiring professionals. Some of my students have been accepted into prestigious music colleges with full scholarships, while others have passed their piano and singing exams with distinction. I understand that not every student enjoys music lessons at first, and I take the time to communicate with both students and parents to find the best approach for each individual. My goal is to create a positive, engaging learning environment where students not only improve their musical skills but also develop confidence, creativity, and a love for music.

Beyond teaching and performing, I am a strong believer in overall well-being—I'm a yoga and Pilates enthusiast, a lover of good food, and an avid traveler. These experiences shape my teaching philosophy, helping me bring energy, discipline, and creativity into my lessons. Whether you’re looking to build a solid musical foundation or refine your artistry, I look forward to helping you achieve your musical goals!

Wether you are:
▪︎ a parent interested in introducing your children to the violin or the viola or maybe develop abilities they already have
▪︎ an adult who wants to take the step into the world of playing a musical instrument because, trust me, it's never too late to start
▪︎someone already able to play an instrument (any instrument) but want to understand how the language of music works on a theoretical level
▪︎ someone who would like to make chamber music together with a group friends and you would like to have a coach who guides you
We can definitely work together and achieve your musical goals!

I have been in the world of music since my early teens and have gathered experience with both violin and viola, even though I ended especializing in the latter, performing but also teaching children and adults. My several years of university studies have given me a functional and integral knowledge of Music Theory. Regarding Chamber Music, which is my life passion, I have studied and performed in a wide variety of contexts and places in Europe and America. In the Netherlands, I received my Master's Degree in Viola at the Maastricht Conservatory.

You're in good hands! As a professional cellist for 14 years now, including as a member of major European and Australian opera and philharmonic orchestras, I welcome all students, from those picking up the instrument for the first time to those preparing for professional auditions.

My primary aim in teaching is to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect in which students can draw motivation to set and accomplish their goals, with my full commitment towards helping them achieve those. Getting the foundations of good playing and good musicianship right is of course a very close and no less important second!

During their journey, students can count on my patience, understanding and sympathy to help them through all challenges. I tailor my teaching style to fit all students based on their individual needs and wishes, or those of their parents if they're too young to decide for themselves.

I'm determined to break the stereotype of teachers being failed performers and teach not only by demonstration, but by playing with students as an accompanist or duet partner, even with absolute beginners.

If you're not sure exactly what you want out of lessons, or aren't sure where to begin, let's discuss and determine that together!

Lessons take place at my place in Carré.
