Learn Music! Violin/viola, Piano, Music Theory, Harmony,

Have always been eager to learn an instrument? have you started in your school years and now want take again that violin repertoire? Do you want to start from beginning a new hobby with music?

My name is Stefano and I am a freelance viola player. After studying viola and composition in Italy, I moved to Rotterdam to complete my Master degree at Codarts, which I obtained in 2018. As a freelance musician, I devote most of my time to chamber music and orchestra playing, collaborating with orchestras such La Toscanini di Parma, Sinfonia Rotterdam, FOI Bruno Bartoletti and others.

I had the luck to follow lessons and masterclasses by amazing renowned teachers (such as Julia Dinerstein, Alexander and Mikhail Zemtsov, members of the Rotterdam Phil, Maxim Rysanov, Simonide Braconi) realising how the teacher-student relationship is so important and fundamental for the all-round growth of the individual.
They taught me that, beside being a form of Art and a job opportunity, Music is pure enjoyment for both mind and soul; its strength is the possibility music gives you to learn about yourself, to express your emotions, to connect with other people, and all in the most enjoyable way ever, which is MAKING MUSIC! How cool is that? :)

If you want to start discovering music with me, I offer Violin, Viola, Piano (basic to intermediate), Music Theory and Harmony classes.

I offer lessons for:
- beginners
- amateurs
- preparation to exams
- tutoring

About Me

My name is Stefano and I am 30 years old.
I am freelance viola player, I came from Italy to Rotterdam to get my Master Degree and pursue a career in the music field.
I started my musical education at 15 in Italy, studying Viola and Composition in Genova and La Spezia.

I moved to Rotterdam in 2016.

I am very curious and passionate about cultures, arts (like music, of course :)); I love reading books, watching a good movie and cooking.

Education

- Codarts University for the Arts, Master in Classical Music Performance, Viola, 2018
- Conservatorio G. Puccini, La Spezia, Diploma and Master Degree in Viola, 2015; Intermediate Degree in Composition, 2015;
- Liceo Classico Andrea D'Oria, Genova, Classical Studies High School degree, 2009

After graduating in Italy and moving my first step in youth orchestras (such as Italian Youth Orchestra, Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini conducted by Riccardo Muti, Orchestra del Teatro Olimpico di Vicenza), I moved to Rotterdam to complete my Master degree at Codarts, which I obtained in 2018 in Julia Dinerstein's class.
I had the luck to follow lessons and masterclasses by amazing renowned teachers, such as Alexander and Mikhail Zemtsov, members of the Rotterdam Phil, Maxim Rysanov, Simonide Braconi, Candida Thompson, Eva Stegeman.

Experience / Qualifications

As a freelance musician, I devote most of my time to chamber music and orchestra playing, collaborating with orchestras such La Toscanini di Parma, Sinfonia Rotterdam, FOI Bruno Bartoletti, Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, Ciconia Consort and others.

Always enjoyed learning new languages (Dutch is in the making!) and sharing my experience with other people.

Music has been the cornerstone in my education: it gave me a powerful tool to discover and develop myself, and to connect with the world; I believe that the joy and magic of music should be brought to everyone, as it gives to everyone the possibility to grow and become the best version of yourself, through self-expression and listening skills.

Music is a very international field of work, so I am used to bridge with different languages and culture, and to help colleagues to better understand Italian (for example, through Opera lyrics:) )
Always dreamed about learning Italian from scratch? Fascinated by the idea of diving into the amazing culture of Italy? Wishing to train again your knowledge of Italian grammar rules or simply improve conversation skills? Contact me and we can arrange your first Italian class. We are going to tailor each lesson around your specific needs. Whether you are striving to grasp that tough grammar rules for school classes, or planning to show off your Italian while talking about wines with your friends, this is the Italian course you are looking for :) *** due to Covid, online lesson preferred! ***

Drum Lessons for all levels - all styles considered!
Do you want to play in a band, play for fun at home with friends, or become a proffecional drummer? Come for a lesson in my studio and see what you'd like to learn. If you like a certain style, we will focus on it and develop your playing towards your taste. I've been playing, teaching and studying drums for over 15 years now. I take it very seriously and try to tailor my teaching to every student that I have. I can use my experience as a proffecional musician to make you progress fast and focus on things not every teacher knows from books. In this course we will focus on technique as well as creativity and improvisation (one of the most enjoyable aspects of playing drums). Do you have any other percussion instrument you'd like to expand your knowledge on? I can offer you percussion lessons as well since I have a lot of experience in playing percussion as well. If you want to study with me I can provide a stable program for development for fast results including scores, exercises, etc. About me: As well as teaching, I'm mainly a performer of music - I've been playing drums with different bands as well as classical percussion for more than 15 years now in many different settings. In the last years of my development I've taken a closer look to jazz, pop, hip hop and rock music. I can use my experience to find good qualities in my students and develop them as much as possible. I hope you consider me to be your teacher :)

Have fun by learning how to play the clarinet and discovering how the music works!
Do you want to have fun learning how to play the most beautiful instrument in the world or improve your skills with it? I'd be delighted to do it with you! I'm a classical clarinetist, I have two masters (recently graduated at Codarts) and different experience in orchestra, chamber music and teaching! My goal as a teacher is to stimulate the student to study in order to be at the disposal of music and not a passive player as can happen many times when you undertake a new study. That is why I like to play with my students and organize little private concerts and try-out. Concerning the music theory lessons, I am not going to bore you with long and incomprehensible explanations! We will study it in a fun and effective way! I've been studying music since I'm five years old and I started with the Kodaly method that made me approach music in a very natural way! I hope to see you soon!

Bandoneon Lessons - Learning from the instrument's technique
Bandoneon is a very well know instrument for playing tango, in fact it's part of the genre's DNA. However, not many people know that the instrument was constructed in Germany and some people even say it was supposed to be used as an portable organ. This means that the Bandoneon has a technique that is independent of any genre. This technique is not found by coping other instruments such as the organ or keyboard but through the development of the nature of the instrument. This is mainly the importance of the air and how it is affected by the pulling and the movement we make when we play. Of course Tango will be an important axis of the lessons as it very important for the development of the instrument and for specific techniques but Tango won't be the starting point as it's not the best pedagogical tool for learning the instrument. But no worries, we'll get there ;) Have you ever wondered how a Gregorian chant, Bach, Mozart & Chopin might sound in the bandoneon? The results might surprise as you would get a very different sound from the one you are originally used to. Also, we can try and use the bandoneon for different and new genres, who knows what we might discover from the instrument along the way?

Violin lessons with focus on music enjoyment and effective practice for a nice development in every level / style.
With these violin lessons I would like to transmit to the student my knowledge with violin, as well as the passion for music. It is easy when learning an instrument to get frustrated because of the difficulties, but with a balance between good habits and focus on having fun with expressivity, it ensures that the student enjoys the process and improves in the results. Open to all levels and music styles, in my lessons students will experience an open playground or lab, where they find in the violin and music a great source of creativity. In addition, with my experience for many years and a bachelor of music in violin (Codarts), I will work to establish in the student proper habits for the violin to ensure the optimal conditions, but always with fun, no matter the expectatives with the instruments ( mild hobby, amateur, professional). Duration of lessons: 60 min is a regular lesson. 30 min lesson possible for children ( young children usually do not hold longer periods with focus in the beggining).

Oscar Quinonez
