(English bellow) NL Vioolspelen is perfect om jezelf te uiten, maar het vraagt wel om de nodige studietijd. Dit wordt een stukje makkelijker met muziek waarvan je houdt, door samen met anderen te spelen en door duidelijke, bereikbare doelen te stellen. Dit wil ik allemaal ondersteunen tijdens mijn vioollessen, zodat de muziek niet alleen in de les blijft, maar echt een deel van het leven van de leerling wordt. Muziek is er immers om van te genieten en om te delen!In het combineren van verschillende methodes en stijlen heb ik de meeste efficiëntie gevonden. Ik houd erg van folk- en hedendaagse muziek, en van improviseren tijdens de les. Op die manier trainen we niet alleen het noten lezen, maar ook het gehoor, de creativiteit en het gevoel voor andere muziekstijlen. Ik vind het geweldig als leerlingen hun eigen ideeën, vragen en favoriete muziek meenemen naar de les, zodat ze echt actief betrokken zijn bij hun eigen leerproces. ------------------------------ ENG Playing the violin is the perfect way to express yourself. Practicing takes time, but it becomes much easier when you play the music you love. In my lessons, your creativity is central. Along with a solid technical foundation, we train your ear and musical intuition through improvisation and by exploring styles like folk and contemporary music. I don’t believe in a rigid method; I fully adapt my teaching to what you need. Your own musical input and ideas are always welcome, and I love when the student brings their own music to the lesson. My goal is for music not to stay in the classroom, but to become an inspiring part of your daily life. Music is to be enjoyed and shared!

As a professional classical violinist, I offer violin lessons to both children and adults in the Zwolle area. I have a master's degree from the Rotterdam Conservatory and have more than 10 years of teaching experience. Please feel free to contact me for more information or to make an appointment for a trial lesson. TRIAL LESSON In order to know whether a student is eligible (physically, musically and mentally) for violin lessons, an appointment will always be made for a trial lesson first. During the trial lesson I will get to know the student, I will perform a number of tests (motor and musical), I will check the violin for quality, size (if it concerns children) and completeness, and if the previous matters are in order, I will then give a trial lesson. I will also answer any questions you may have about the lesson conditions. LESSONS PLANNING Although the lesson time is in principle always agreed upon each time, it is preferable that the lesson is held on the same day and time every week. If it concerns a novice student, this is even essential. The reason is that a lot is involved in establishing a good basic violin technique and a good basic technique is essential to continue to progress in the long term. In this phase, a teacher must be able to intervene in a timely manner if things go off the rails. Because a basic learned incorrectly is very difficult to unlearn. The regularity of the lessons is important to provide the student with sufficient time to process what has been learned. Only for the more advanced student, lessons can also be given every other week. CLASS LOCATION The lessons take place at my home in Heino or at the student's home. CLASS DURATION A lesson lasts 60 minutes. READING NOTES Whether or not you can read music is still unimportant in the initial phase. In fact, the first lessons will not cover notes at all. This is because it is very important to learn to make music with the ears and from empathy. Of course, being able to read music from a certain level is indispensable, but if you start doing that right away, the emphasis is too much on the visual and that is not good. After all, the notes emerged from the music, and not the other way around. TEACHING MATERIALS As long as the level is such that notes do not play a role, the student's memory and the notebook will be the only teaching material. When the student is ready for notation, he or she will switch to simple textbook methods in which both reading notes and melodies are literally taught through play. As the level progresses, the material will become increasingly difficult and the books will be adjusted accordingly. We will soon move on to duets in which the student plays together with the teacher. This is not only fun to do, but also forces the student to listen extra carefully / use their ears. Just like the violin, the teaching materials must be purchased yourself, although photocopies may also suffice in the initial phase. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Would you like to play the violin? Have you ever had a violin lesson, but let it go again? I would like to give you the opportunity to try or pick it up again! My name is Lonne and I give violin lessons to children and adults with great enthusiasm. Everyone is different, one shy, the other very unrestrained. In your own way and at your own pace, I want to teach you as much as possible. In the lessons I pay attention to teamwork, music games, a healthy playing position, fun, musicality and technique. I have studied different methods and can therefore find the right method for a person. For beginners I often use the "method of the 21st century", in which students learn to play the violin in a playful way. For students it is instructive and fun to show what they have learned on violin lessons, that's why I hold promising moments every year. I graduated from the conservatory in 2014. Besides teaching with great enthusiasm, I work as a soloist and play chamber music in various ensembles. I also play in orchestras and I work in light music. My main goal is that students enjoy playing music by making violin. Age does not matter, everyone can learn it. I hope to see you at a trial class!

About my lessons :) - INDEPENDENCE There is a Chinese proverb that says, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” In my classes, I try to get my students to think so that in the future they will not have to rely on others to make their own choices when playing a piece. - HEALTHY HABITS Musicians can get hurt if they are not careful, so it is important to have good posture, efficient technique and study method. - ENJOY Music should be all about enjoyment. And in lessons too! I like to think I have a good sense of humor, so laughter is guaranteed during lessons too. - PERSONALIZATION Teaching is not “one size fits all”. That is why I adapt my lessons for each type of student. Duration, methodology, price and planning are determined based on the student’s needs.

The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS. Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress. Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward. The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you. We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire! (For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...) If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class. In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero. The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty. I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... . There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly. You can find here an indicative list of objectives that I propose in my theoretical program, which can of course adapt to your request. The general theoretical objectives of the course: --- Tuning / tuning and knowing his guitar: * Standard Tuning * Drop Tuning * Open Tuning * Adjust the optimal tension of the strings * Adjust the shaft axis * Adjust the action of the strings * Choose the strings adapted to the style of play / tuning * Change his strings -Know his chords: * Triads: Fundamental State & Inversions * Tetrads: Fundamental State & Inversions * The chord progressions of the Range * Arpeggio techniques (tapping, sweep, 1/2/4 fing.shape, etc ...) --- Know his scales and his modes * The Mode of the Major scale * 3 Modes of the Minor scale: Natural / Melodic / Harmonic * Modes of the Pentatonic range: 5 positions * Modes of the Blues range: 5 positions Etc ... --- Technique to the Pick / Plectrum / Tab / Pick (Electric Guitar): * Alternate Picking * Fast Picking / Tremolo Picking * Hybrid Picking * Palm Mute * Natural Harmonics * Pinch Harmonics * Artificial Harmonics * Shredding * Tapping * Sweep Picking * Legato Picking --- Strumming / Hand Picking (Acoustic Guitar) * "SnareDrum" percussion on the guitar * Arpeggios pinched with 4 fingers + thumb * Rasgueado (Flamenco Technique) * Generic Strumming * Fingerstyle Picking * Two-finger picking + Legato for fast melodies (eg a solo) -Play the metronome * exercises on click * practice on song riffs -Learn his favorite songs * without thinking about the difficulty, nothing is impossible with the right methodology -Improvise * choose ranges and positions * to place oneself rhythmically, to finish on the judicious notes -Theory of Harmony * Understand harmonization and its practice -Theory on the Melody -Theory of Rhythm

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Hello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me. Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on. Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor. Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing. No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not? If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!
