Viola lessons - discover the rich, warm sound - from beginner to advaced students

Àpd 87.53 C$ /h

Hello! I'm Simone, I am an Italian professional viola player who graduated in Italy and at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague.
In my lessons you will learn to enjoy the warm and rich tone that the viola can give you. Together we'll work on finding a comfortable, natural posture that lets the music flow freely. You'll develop an ear for harmony and learn to feel how your body and the instrument work as one, so that you will be able to play for hours without fatigue.

Lessons are for:
• Teenagers starting from scratch or looking to improve their technique
• Adults returning to music who want to rediscover the joy of playing
• Anyone wanting to join youth or amateur orchestras
• Exam or audition preparation

We'll also play duets together - feeling the connection with another musician is among the most efficient ways to learn!
Whether you want to perform, progress steadily, or just love the sound of the viola, my lessons offer a relaxed and stimulating space to develop your skills.

For more information, please get in touch.

Informations supplémentaires

For the beginners: it is important to have your own viola for the lessons and for home practice. If you don't own one I will be glad to help you out to buy/rent the one which suits you the best.

I love to play and to teach my instrument. I play in different Orchestras, classical chamber music, and I improvise in contemporary music with body movement. I worked a lot on the body position while playing, which I think is very important in order to release tension in the muscles and feel freer with the instrument.
I am very excited to share the knowledge I have with my instrument with you!

The ability to improvise is not a natural skill that we are born with.
It is an understandable chain of tools that can be learned and practiced into performance. Improvisation is something that requires discipline as much as freedom, and in fact, it stems from the understanding of sounds, the music's natural grammar.

Violin is mostly seen as a melodic instrument but it can be otherwise. Outside of the classical world, rhythm reigns and the violin can be a leading rhythmical instrument too, providing solid grooves and accompaniments or challenging your fellow musicians with percussive sounds.

Furthermore, to be proficient in specific styles, it is not enough to just play scales and patterns but it is necessary to learn the colors of the proper harmonical framework which is part of an idiom.

In 10 years of teaching, I developed an approach that rethinks the function of fingerboard visualization allowing you to transpose in any key with great facility and to understand the logic behind the shapes of any chord on the fingerboard.

In these lessons, I will help you to rethink the violin out of the box, as a powerful rhythmical and harmonical instrument while deepening your melodic ability (soloing) related to the styles you want to play: Jazz, Blues, Fusion, Pop, Rock, Brazilian, World Music. [According to the style we will also be working with loops and effects]

This class is designed for musicians who already know the basics of violin techniques but addresses both beginner and advanced players in relation to the field of improvised music.

The lessons will be custom made for each student. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player I will work to adapt to your learning rhythm while keeping you challenged at the same time. You will receive regular feedback, advice, and guidance and materials.

Don't hesitate to contact me for more details!

Hey there! Are you looking for someone to learn to play the violin with? I offer dynamic and fun lessons and believe that music-making is better done together, with duets and the like. On top of technique, posture, and intonation, I also like to work on musicality and expressivity. Ultimately, I believe music-making should be fun, and I hope to bestow that joy upon all my students!

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!
