I am an experienced music teacher with studies at LCM (London College of Music) system, HKU Conservatory of Utrecht and BMus graduate of ArtEZ Conservatory in Zwolle.
I have teaching experience with children from 4 years old and adult beginners as well. I offer private lessons for music theory and piano. I have followed specific lessons for psychology and pedagogics for teachers.
My lessons include piano practise and theory. My approach is artistic, creative and always based to the needs of each individual student. Every student takes the time needed according to his level and age. Even from the very first lessons, we will start playing music!
I believe playing and experiencing how fun music can be is really important to keep the fun in the class, for that reason I use music fragments and even duets for all my students.

About Me
As person I am very patient and kind. I am always well prepared for every class and reward my students for their progress with small music surprices. I work a lot with children and that helps me to improve my creativity and understanding. Asking many questions is never too much for me.

Lessons are available in English, Spanish and Dutch.

Have you always dreamed of playing the cello but never taken the first step?
Are you an advanced cellist looking to refine your technique and deepen your musical expression?
Or are you returning to the instrument and searching for fresh motivation and structured guidance?

My lessons are tailored to each student's personal goals and musical journey. Whether you are a beginner discovering the instrument for the first time or an experienced player, we will work together to develop your technique, musical understanding, and artistic confidence.

In our lessons we explore the richness of the classical cello repertoire, and if you are interested we can also explore other musical styles. Technique and expression go hand in hand: we will work on bow control, a flexible and confident left hand, and a healthy, natural posture that allows freedom and ease when playing.

My goal is not only to help you play better, but to help you play with confidence, depth, and authenticity.

I also offer coaching for chamber music groups. With extensive experience in chamber music, I guide ensembles in refining their interpretation, communication, balance, and musical interaction.

Discover the expressive possibilities of the cello and let the music truly speak.

Children are welcome from around 4 years old.

Have you always dreamed of playing the cello, but never took the first step?
Are you an advanced cellist looking to further refine your playing?
Or are you taking up the cello again and are you looking for new motivation and focused guidance?

My lessons are tailored to your personal goals and musical development. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, we'll work together on technique, musicality, and confidence in playing.

During lessons, we explore the beautiful classical cello repertoire and, if desired, other styles and genres. Technique and expression go hand in hand: we work on refined bowing technique, a strong and flexible left hand, and a healthy, natural playing posture.

My goal is not just that you learn to play better, but that you make music with confidence, depth and authenticity.

I also offer coaching for chamber music ensembles. With my experience in chamber music, I help groups refine their interpretation, communication, balance, and ensemble playing.
