Professional Music Therapy sessions (individual or group)

I am a professional violinist and professional music-therapist.
Music has been found to have curative, therapeutic, and other medical values for human well-being and its physical, mental, and social effects have been documented throughout history. In addition to its potential of relieving e.g. physical pain and stress, music has been considered as a powerful resource for the social aspects of healthcare and well-being, which suggests that music can provide and cultivate several aspects of human well-being.

I have worked with different disabilities but I have focused my music-therapy work on deafness, autism, elderly with dementia and ADHD. I offer music-therapy sessions (individual or group) to work with people in personalised sessions. Contact me if you want to know more about it.

About Me

I am a professional Spanish violinist currently living and working in the Netherlands. I have finished my master's studies in the Prince Claus Conservatory in Groningen last year and I already finished a Music-Therapy master in Spain. Because of that my work is based on teaching, performing, and also giving music-therapy sessions.

I really like to teach and have a personal approach to each student so I find out what is the best for each student to achieve their goals with the violin.

I have been teaching violin and music theory for more than 10 years now, to different age students (from 4 to 50 years old) and different levels. I also have experience teaching violin group class, and I also teach different music styles with the violin (jazz, country, improvisation).


I have been working in different health care settings for 7 years now. I have worked as a music-therapist in elderly homes, kid facilities and hospitals and I have focused my work on deafness, elderly with dementia, ADHD and autism. I am currently working as a violinist in different health care contexts in the Netherlands.

Excellent teacher. As a beginner, I highly recommend.
I'm happy I found Sara as a teacher. She is professional, attentive, full of useful advice and packs a lot into her lessons.
Useful lessons to improve the technique. Sara really paid attention to what to improve and was friendly, so the lesson was relaxed and pleasant.

the lessons are really helpful. I think Sara knows what she is doing and what to pay attention to, so I am sure that she can help me to improve my violin playing in the future!
I am a professional violinist currently living in Groningen. The violin lessons are for all levels and ages from technique and classical violin to a more modern and gypsy violin playing (jazz, improvisation). What you want to learn is up to you but I will help you to find out the best way to achieve your goal with the instrument. We can flexibly arrange the place and the frequency of the lessons each time we meet. Let's have fun making music together!!

World History and Social Studies Lessons from International Student-Teacher
The subjects of World History and Social Studies are often left aside as they are seen as less useful that the other subjects, but I believe children can learn a lot from observing and learning about what happened in the past and what happens today. I want to share my knowledge about these subjects with them while also helping them managing the knowledge they already have and need to learn. In schools, history is often taught through learning dates and events but history should be taught in the form of a story, which is easier to remember, and the useful information will stick longer. I am willing to help my students with the homework they have as well and teach them some skills in how to organize and manage the work they receive. I have teaching experience in international schools in Qatar, Italy and the US with students in middle school and high school, having taught the American curriculum and the International Baccalaureates curriculum. Thank you for your time :)

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Music production classes in Ableton/FL Studio/Bitwig Studio
The classes are adapted to the needs and interests of the student. There is nothing more rewarding than choosing what we want to learn and being able to discover the worlds that art and music have to offer. I have professional experience to teach in three different softwares (Ableton, Fl studio and Bitwig Studio) In addition to the knowledge so that we review all types of concepts associated with musical production, not just the technical. (Musical theory, analysis of references, creative composition techniques, mixing and mastering, etc.) The idea is that we can live a creative laboratory where you can experiment and explore music with all the tools that technology gives us to enhance that experience. Classes range from a completely basic level to an advanced level.
