For me, violin lessons are about more than just learning notes - it's about expressing your inner world through music.

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.

My background

I hold a Master of Music from Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam. My earlier studies took place in Oulu, Helsinki, and Porvoo (Finland). In addition to teaching, I perform actively across Europe, collaborating with symphony orchestras and chamber music ensembles. I’m also co-founder of The Cosmopolitan String Quartet and Zenanns Duo.

Yvonne
Violin private (or small group) lessons are offered in classical, traditional, and rebetiko violin, classical theory, Makam theory and improvisation for all ages, from beginners to advanced levels. The lessons are taught by a qualified violinist (Degree in classical violin, Orfeio conservatory of Athens, Greece) and bachelor student of CODARTS Academy (Rotterdam, Netherlands) - World music (Ottoman violin) with four years of teaching experience. There is also the option to learn theory, solfège.

Bio:
Yvonne was born in Kavala in 1998. She began her violin studies at the age of seven under the guidance of Z. Zlateva. She studied classical violin and music theory and obtained her diploma with "highest honors" in 2022 from the Orpheus Conservatory in Athens, under the guidance of her teachers, M. Plesti and D. Semsis. Since 2023, she has been a student at Codarts WMDC (Rotterdam, Netherlands), pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Turkish music-Ottoman violin (teacher: Burak Savas). She has been a member of many orchestras as well as various music ensembles and workshops (music ensemble with A. Liakakis and T. Gouvelis, classical violin with M. Szlezer, experimental violin with F. Siotas, composition and orchestration with V. Papadopoulos, oriental violin with G. Papaioannou, M. Kouloumis, composition and orchestration with C. Erdogan, M. Nasser, Y. Tockan, G. Baktagir, Kudsi Erguner’s ensemble, Greek traditional music with M. Mavroidi, folk orchestra with M. Pappou, etc.) and has performed on some of the most important music stages in the country. She has composed music for dance performances and short films. Additionally, she is a graduate student at the Law School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Her first album, titled "Myrra," with T. Kofodimos, was released in December 2023.

She has taught classical violin at the Pefki Municipal Conservatory, the Athens Conservatory, the Trofonio Conservatory of Livadeia, and has four years of experience teaching private lessons to students of all ages.

My idea:
Each lesson is unique and tailored to the student's needs. We can adjust the lesson according to what each person desires: from classical technique, exercises, and repertoire, to Maqam theory, taqsim, traditional/rebetiko/Ottoman repertoire, and of course, improvisation. My fundamental principle is that technique comes first, but what's important is that musical knowledge is not sterile but enjoyable. I achieve this through a variety of repertoire, a pleasant atmosphere, and especially through group playing, both among ourselves and with other students and musicians.
