Trough the course of my education period and in my professional life I have stumbled upon a lot of issues and difficulties I needed to figure out how to solve.

I am a professional violinist based in Antwerp, currently finishing a master in pedagogy in the Conservatory of Mons. I propose to teach the violin to children or adults. I adapt as much as possible to everyone, according to what you want to play with the violin :) I am also looking a lot for the best posture, to find the most comfortable way of playing for each student.

I am free in the weeks and in the weekend, so feel free to contact me!

-----------------------------------------------

I am a professional violinist currently living in Antwerp. I am also in pedagogy training at the Conservatory of Mons. I propose to give lessons at home, I adapt to each student, according to the time he devotes to the instrument and his tastes. The approach of the instrument for beginners can be done in a "classic" way (through exercises, studies, pieces) or more playful. I can also give notions of music theory in addition! Possibility also to work only by ear.

I focus a lot on the feeling, the relaxation and the posture, so that playing the violin is still a pleasure.

I can give classes in French or English.

Do you want to learn to play music at your own pace and in a relaxed atmosphere? Without compulsory theory lessons, without pressure, stress or exams? Are you busy with school, or with other hobbies? Or can the music school not be combined with a job, and do you prefer the personal approach to private lessons? Then you can come to me for a daily lesson package that we can adjust to your personal expectations and ambition. That can be weekly, biweekly ... with or without theory. You can come to me both during the day and in the evening, a fixed day is not necessary either.

Arabic Lute or Ud plays a very prominent role in Arabic music: people call him the 'sultan' of the Arabic instruments.
In these lessons we will approach the traditional instrumental repertoire with original point of view, Egyptian school, Iraqis school and Moroccan school, analyzing ornaments and elements of virtuosity.

I have many experiences teaching young children, adolescents and adults, your lessons are completely tailor-made to your needs.

🎻Do you want to learn to play a new instrument?
✅Are you already a violin or viola player and want to improve your technique or prepare auditions?
🎼Do you want to learn fun repertoire?

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY!

I teach from beginners to advanced players, my lessons are inclusive and adapted to everyone. My priority is to make learning a fun experience.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
✏️Arranging and adapting the music you like to your level (songs, soundtracks, video game music, etc).
🎶Playing adapted duos with me in the lessons.
🎻Learning about your own instrument and its possibilities.
🧠Dynamic technique exercises that stimulate your creativity.
🧘Learn how to be aware and connect with your body when playing.

And so much more! Don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

ABOUT ME: I obtained my Bachelor and Master diplomas in Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. I have performed across Europe with many orchestras and I also have my own music projects that blend classical music genres such as jazz, folk, flamenco...

I give violin lessons to beginners and advanced players. In a pleasant, playful atmosphere you will learn a solid basis for making music with confidence. In addition to the classical trajectory with lots of beautiful polyphonic music, I also give you the opportunity to improvise and find your own sound.

I believe that language is a powerful tool today. Not only does it help us understand the world from a different perspective, but it also teaches us the culture of the people who use it. I have had the opportunity to work with teenagers for 5 years now as a student associate in a science center, as a mentor and a lecturer in a different field. What I have learned from that experience is that first and foremost one must become a friend with their student, to understand their needs and their attitudes. I will do my best to make the classes fun by combining a audio and visual material in my teaching. I am a native speaker of Serbo-Croatian language, my field of study is Social and Cultural Anthropology.

I am a professional violinist that will focus on your technique and musical abilities. Each lesson will be tailored for each student, creating an interesting and challenging program. For more advanced students, a more focused program can be discussed, such as preparing for auditions, exams, etc.

As a orchestra musician since long time, I would like to offer help and training for orchestra auditions. I play in different countries in Europa (France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, UK etc.) : I am aware of the difference styles.
I can teach in french and english, if necessary, in german too.

I don't count the hours, usually it's between 90 and 120'

Do you already speak (a little) Dutch and are you looking for someone to practice with? I am happy to apply!

We speak Dutch and I observe where you make mistakes. I paraphrase in the conversation and correct where necessary. Before the lesson we agree on what you will practice on. This way we can also measure whether things are going better after the session. We can practice the other goals in the next session.

When you learn a language, a lot of practice is so important! You will notice that you make enormous progress when you speak Dutch for a long time with someone who listens carefully to you and coaches you on pronunciation, choice of words, sentence structure, ... You choose what your goal is, together we patiently practice until you succeed.

I am a teacher of Dutch to newcomers who speak Dutch at a primary school in Antwerp. Before this I gave Dutch lessons abroad to all ages for 8 years. Learning Dutch is not easy, but by practicing a lot with speaking, you quickly get 'that click'. Be sure to give it a try!

First, let's remember what we're talking about. Music is and always has been inherent in all human societies. It has many roles and is a very powerful language. It's a universe in itself...

Music, and the violin in particular, brings me enormous joy every day. In fact, joy is, in my opinion, the greatest source of motivation given to us on earth. So, quite logically, I place it at the heart of my lessons.

It would be an illusion to pretend that learning to play the violin is a simple matter! So I accept the challenge, often neglected, to do everything I can to convey my enjoyment of playing the violin. By the way, as I just wrote, in French you don't say "travailler le violon", you say "jouer du violon". So even though the road is hard, I will do everything I can to make it fun.

My lessons are adapted to all levels, ages and profiles.

Together with each student, I strive to find the most suitable tests, so that everyone learns as effectively as possible and, above all, with pleasure!

I attach great importance to the correct use and well-being of the body. Playing the violin not only involves the cerebral and the emotional, it is also a complex physical exercise! For those who have already had lessons, I try to consciously or unconsciously replace bad habits learned with good ones, and for beginners to immediately install the correct automatisms.

I give individual lessons. But sometimes I bring students together to learn to play together and perform in public. Attending other people's lessons can also be very helpful in gaining a better understanding of the various mechanisms of the violin.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing my knowledge and love for music with you.

In addition to my professional career as a cellist, I also enjoy teaching violin lessons to everyone. You are welcome for my adapted lessons for every people and I can help you grow further as a musician. Be welcome! :)
My experience as a professional musician allows me to put you directly in touch with the quality of sound making. And above all, it's FUN!
