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.
Extra information
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.

Dear friends who love music. Would you like to enjoy music even more with me? - Violin, Viola, Piano and music theory/solfege lessons for all ages and levels in Den Haag.
In my lessons, I carefully teach you how to hold the instrument, the shape of your hands, make a good sound, and how to practice to improve, all tailored to your levels. I believe that improving your instruments requires steady practice and patience at first. Even five minutes a day is better than not touching the instruments at all. If you make it a daily habit for a week, two weeks, a month, six months, or a year, your level will definitely improve, you will be able to play the songs you want to play, and you will experience the joy of playing. Even if you cannot touch an instrument, singing loud out or in your head can still practice, and you will realize how important it is for improving your musical ability and expressing yourself. Why not try expressing the words of your heart that you normally cannot put into words through the sound of the instruments? I would be happy to help you improve your musical life.

My name is Sakura. I am a baroque violinist, graduated with a master of early music department at Koninglijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. I play the modern violin, viola, medieval fiddle and keyboard instruments as well.
Happy to share the music with you with all of my experiences of my music life and what I learned. Started playing the piano at 3 years old and the violin at 7 years old, then went to the music high school and Tokyo university of the Art in Japan. Also, I have learned classical ballet, traditional Japanese dance, playing the Koto, etc. All of that experience and fun are in my music. I hope to help you enjoy music even more.
