Playful, educational and tailor-made violin lessons at Viviool

From 54 € /h

Hi! My name is Vivian and all students are welcome! I focus on musical and technical development, can also accompany my students on the piano, practice playing together and teach the students who are ready for it some music theory. Recitals are organized to work towards something, learn to perform and listen to each other. If the student is ready for it, I will guide in finding orchestras and ensemble opportunities. Students can also get in touch with each other to get a click and start playing together.

With my educational skills I have also given violin workshops to primary and secondary schools through Het Residentieorkest and I have worked as a substitute teacher at the learning orchestra The Residents several times. At the conservatory I have followed education lessons and the Kodály course Music as a Profession.

Beginners usually start with a half hour lesson and if the teacher or the student notices that this is too short for the current development, the lesson time is increased to 45 minutes or 60 minutes in consultation. The student must provide a violin himself. A violin can be rented or purchased and I can give advice and help with this. Furthermore, the student must purchase a music stand, a lesson book and new strings every few months.

Send me a message if you are interested, have questions, want to meet or would like to try a trial lesson. I think it would be great to get started on the violin together, discover beautiful music and have fun with it!

(Tip: be quick because my teaching practice is often full)

Extra information

You provide your own violin, but I can help you with this.

About Me

Hi! I am Vivian, 28 years old, and a graduate of the Master's program at the Conservatory in The Hague. What I love most is creating an individual lesson plan together with the student that aligns with what and how the student wants to learn. I do think it is important that we keep an eye on progress, which is why students practice at home. That makes the lesson most useful, because then I can give good tips that will really help you improve! During the lesson, I focus on the musical message, but also on the technical 'tools' you need to play the violin well. Would you like to discover music with me and improve your violin playing? Then come by for a trial lesson!

Education

Bachelor of Violin and Master of NAIP - Royal Conservatory of The Hague

The combination of knowledge of the brain and music is a useful combination in the lessons!

Dear violin lovers! I'm a violin teacher for 10 years now, I have been teaching in Portugal and the Netherlands. My lessons can be given in English, Portuguese, French or Spanish.

Playing the violin is my passion, especially when I can pass on my knowledge and love for music to my students of all ages and levels.

I work as a team with you, finding the right method that fit your needs. What is important for me is to work on a good connection with the instrument and find the right basis for the start of your violin playing.
In my violin lessons, I would like also to share with you my musical knowledge, show you recordings of great violin players, prepare with you pieces that you always wanted to play and give you the tools so you can achieve your goals in music. I like to share the general knowledge of violin playing as well as basic and intermediate music theory lessons so you can enter in the world of music, but especially to have fun!!

My lessons can be shared between violin and theory together depending on what you are looking for.

The lessons will be at my house if you are in need of an instrument we can find one for you!

I did my Bachelor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with the teachers Maria Milstein and Eliot Lawson and completed my Masters in Performance degree with excellency as well in Amsterdam under the guidance of Liviu Prunaru and Mathieu van Bellen while studying baroque violin with Shunske Sato.

I have my own violin class in Amsterdam, and I love teaching.

I look forward to sharing this adventure with you!
Hope to hear from you!

I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

I am Carlos (08/02/1992), professional violinist and violin and viola teacher.

I started playing the violin when I was 15 years old. This means I can still clearly remember the methods and techniques I used to learn how to play the violin. I will certainly take these experiences with me into my teaching position. These insights allow me to teach each student according to his/her desires and needs.

My passion for teaching started when my father and nephew wanted to learn to play the violin. Since then I have continued to teach many students because I get energy and inspiration from my students. In recent years I have taught many different students and because of this I have gained a lot of experience in using different methodologies.

Teaching is a big responsibility. My priority is to let the student have fun while learning and to stimulate musicality/creativity. Every student is different and has different interests, therefore every student will be taught in a different way and with a different method. The styles I teach can vary from classical to jazz, pop, etc.

I have taught students of different levels both in Spain and in the Netherlands: beginners, amateurs, advanced. So I teach students who are preparing for the conservatory, but also the very first beginners.

Because I am from Spain, I can teach in Spanish, English and Dutch.

Listening to music frequently.
Learning to play before learning to read music notation (native language method).
Parental involvement (Parents study with their children at home).
A fixed core repertoire.
Combination of individual and group lessons.

My philosophy is to teach the violin from the enjoyment of music and the development of musical intelligence. I use proven learning sequences and programs both technically and artistically. Results from the first class. I have been a music teacher at prestigious institutions for more than 20 years and an orchestra performer with extensive experience on international stages. I can prepare you for your university admission exams or for your contest for the group you want to join. The most important thing is that you can make music an inexhaustible source of emotions and satisfaction for you and your loved ones.

Let’s begin your musical journey! Perhaps this is the first time you are playing an instrument? Or you are picking it up having played it years ago. Perhaps you have a dream of where or what you would like to play...or want to improve specific skills to simply enjoy playing more.

My aim is to create a path with you (or your child), to discover and develop ways to achieve your own musical goals.

I offer 30-minute instrumental lessons – these are aimed at beginner students to build stamina, posture and basic playing techniques.
You can combine this with an additional 30 minutes of musicianship, this is for children to build a solid foundation of musical skills –including rhythm, note reading and pitch, composition, tempo and more. Group lessons are possible for beginner players, these can be a fun and motivating way of learning together for students, however these would be regularly reviewed to ensure learning needs of each student are met.

I would recommend 60-minute lessons for intermediate student/adult students – this is to work on more complex musical skills, exercises and pieces.

Goals for lessons:
Making music from day 1
Exploring and refining the craft of playing the instrument
Setting reachable goals to build stamina, technique and musicianship
Developing ‘inner ear’ with aural exercises
Learning musical notation/composition
Casual performance opportunities solo or in a group (if desired)
Most importantly...having fun!

About me...
I have worked in instrument music education at schools, academies and privately for the last 12 years, whilst playing professionally as a freelance violin/viola player and conductor with orchestras, musicals and in community music settings in England. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, and base my approach on the needs of the student, using experience in different schools of music teaching - including traditional classical Suzuki and Kodaly principles to more modern day improvisation focussed educators such as Christian Howes and Bobby McFerrin.

Lessons available in English and Dutch.

Do get in touch if you have any questions!

Learn to play the violin with expert instruction tailored to your needs! Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, my lessons focus on proper technique, posture, bowing, finger placement, and music reading. I provide clear, step-by-step guidance to help you build a strong foundation and develop confidence in your playing.

For beginners, I introduce the basics, including how to hold the violin and bow correctly, how to produce a clear sound, and how to read sheet music. Intermediate and advanced students receive more in-depth training on vibrato, shifting, advanced bowing techniques, and musical interpretation.

Each lesson is personalized to suit your skill level and learning pace, ensuring steady progress. I also incorporate ear training and musicality exercises to help students develop a strong sense of rhythm and expression.

Whether you’re preparing for performances, exams, or simply playing for enjoyment, I am committed to helping you reach your goals. My teaching approach is supportive and encouraging, making learning the violin both effective and enjoyable.

Join my violin lessons today and start your journey to becoming a confident and skilled violinist!

I am a professional violinist and teacher with experience in one-to-one lessons. I was taught the technique of the Galamian school and have travelled to Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands over the last few years.
Based on your necessities and the music you want to learn, I will make the lessons as interesting and fun as possible with a technical classical base.
I will place a lot of importance on stretching and warming up during the lesson to avoid future injuries, and I will try to incorporate that into the student routine.

About the lesson:

Specialized in jazz classes at least at all levels – with absolute beginners at the top of the speakers.

From 10 days to 10 days, you will be able to listen to your music via private channel without listening to music. Since March 2024 I teach at De Leerorkest in Amsterdam and De Gooische Muziekschool.

My lessons are based on fun, patience and attentive listening. I tailor each lesson to the student’s personal goals and interests – whether that’s classical music, folk music or improvisation. If you listen to some of the music you have inspired, you will be able to put the structure into effect.

Over the past ten years, I have specialized in classical violin performance, training in Spain and abroad through courses and masterclasses with professors from Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Rooted in the Galamian school of violin technique, my teaching approach is individual and flexible, adapting to each student’s needs and goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students of all ages — from young beginners to adult learners — and at different technical levels, always focusing on a balance between instrumental technique and musical understanding.
I believe that learning music and mastering an instrument is a long-term journey. That’s why my teaching philosophy emphasizes enjoying the process, building a strong foundation, and developing a genuine connection with both the violin and music itself.
