I have been learning the violin and piano since 5 years old, and am currently taking a bachelor's in Music Performance in Violin, at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp.
Students of any age are welcome, and I have special experience with beginner and younger students, having given a lot of lessons in piano and music theory.
I teach in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and basic Dutch.

The individual violin lessons are personalized and tailored to the progress and learning ability of each student. Emphasis is placed on developing good posture and ease of movement at the early stage. We will then continue to revise and enhance technique while taking on a more challenging repertoire as they progress.
Lessons are stress-free and I always try to provide a safe and calm environment for an engaging and fun class!
Games for little kids are an absolute must!

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a question! :)

Présentation
Hi, my name is Sara! Nice to meet you!
I am a Portuguese violinist studying at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Music has been a central point of my life since I could remember, and teaching is a big passion too.
I have taught music theory for many years, especially to younger students and I have been for a few years teaching violin and piano, from beginner to intermediate students.
I am a very creative person, interested in helping others grow musically through an engaging and stress-free class environment:)
Are you interested in diving into the music world? Are you unsure how to start or how to navigate through it? Let me help you!
Together we can explore the violin or the piano and most importantly, help you improve and enjoy your instrument and music!!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Are you interested in improving your English skills? Or simply practicing your communication?
Or maybe you want to learn as a beginner!
All are accepted and welcome with me!
I have an A grade Advanced Cambridge English level and have been speaking English since I was three years old. For the past 3 years, I have been living abroad, which improved my English even more, as I had to communicate solely with the language.
I have given English lessons for years, to beginners (of all ages, including children) to advanced students who want to expand their vocabulary or simply converse.

The lessons are stress-free and I will focus on your specific needs:) so you can learn and improve in English fast and easily!

Javier
Hello, my name is Javier. I am a guitarist, composer, sound technician, and music producer. I work professionally, especially in contemporary Jazz.

During more than 15 years of experience as a teacher, I have developed several methods and exercises for teaching guitar and music (songs, theory, composition, improvisation, harmony, etc.) for students of all levels and all ages. I have already had students from 6 years old to 74.

I believe that the most important thing is that the students manage to find the motivation to practice regularly with the pleasure of progressing.


Method:

The most common is the use of songs that the student chooses and takes advantage of this to work on more general concepts of music and the guitar which are important to acquire a solid base without bad habits.

For more advanced students the learning process is determined together by setting personal goals.

The teaching method is totally focused on the individual needs of each student.

Students with any level of knowledge in music (self-taught, beginners, advanced ...) are accepted.


Interview:

01
- Since when did you develop a passion for music and more particularly for your favorite instrument?

- I became interested in the guitar at the age of ten. I had a friend who played "Blackbird" music by The Beatles and I was fascinated. From there, I started to study and I continue to learn today.


02
- What music can you listen to on repeat with the same pleasure (and without going crazy)?

- Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.


03
- Tell us about the most difficult or amazing lesson you have given!

- It would be a class where I have to explain the major and minor tonality and all its variants in one hour of class. But I will get there!


04
- In your opinion, what is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

- It was impossible to answer. Each person has different predispositions.
For me to play the piano at a high level would be complicated for the need for independence of the right and left hands. In this sense, the guitar is easier.


05
- What are, for you, the keys to success (apart from those of Sol and Fa)?

- Constance, it's always better to practice a little every day than a lot once in a while.
Patience, learning an instrument takes time. You have to learn to coordinate the body and the brain and take new paths from time to time.
And the most important :
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, to learn it is essential to make mistakes and this should not be a reason to stop practicing, on the contrary, it should be a motivation to improve.


06
- Name 3 musicians with whom you would dream of jamming in a bar at 2 a.m. and tell us why!

- Tigran Hamasyan, Reinier Baas, Avishai Cohen (bassist)


07
- An anecdote to tell in relation to your job or your schooling (and not necessarily the party you had after entering the Conservatory)?

- When I started giving lessons (I was 17), I had a 10-year-old student, when I suggested things to do, he looked me directly in the eye and said: No!
But with patience, after a while, I managed to make a connection with him and at the end of the 3 years he played the guitar very well and we became friends. Now he is more or less 25 years old.


08
- What is the little touch that makes you a special teacher adored by all his students?

- I am very patient and I always find the best way to explain to each student.
