Upbeat Violin, Viola, Cello, and Piano Lessons with a Pro!

Teaching music is my passion, and my lessons are ALWAYS upbeat and positive! Lessons are 100% tailored to you - YOUR goals, music background, and musical tastes.

I have a Doctorate in Music Education, a Master's degree in Orchestral Conducting, and a decade of experience playing professionally for orchestras and teaching hundreds of students of all ages!

Extra information

The time commitment to become "good" is sometimes the biggest challenge for music students at any age. It takes 30-90 minutes a day in focused practice to make satisfying progress. With patience and dedication, though, you will learn some of the most beautiful music in the world!

I have been teaching online music lessons for 5 years on Zoom and Skype. (I can show you how to set it up on your phone or computer.)

I look forward to speaking with 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.
