I specialize in teaching violin and viola to students of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced performers. My lessons focus on developing a strong technical foundation while keeping music expressive and enjoyable.

You’ll learn bowing techniques, intonation, phrasing, sight-reading, and musical interpretation through classical and contemporary repertoire — including Baroque, Romantic, and film music styles.

The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.

We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!

(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)

If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.

In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.

Hello and thank you for visiting this website!

I'm an established, qualified, and experienced violin teacher who has worked in London for the last 26 years. I'm now back in Belgium for some new musical adventures, as well as to meet new students.

I welcome students from the age of four to adults. I have a real passion for transmitting my love of music, and I like to have a creative, playful and holistic approach to teaching. I also play the piano and often use it for aural training or to accompany my students (or do violin duets). I do believe that music is not just for competitions or exams but a skill for life that can bring tremendous joy, discoveries, friends and fun along the way. Learning an instrument is also a great way to foster different qualities such as patience, diligence, presence, resilience, deep listening and the ability to express and share our emotions with others.

Having explored many different violin methods and styles, I take a different approach according to each student. I like to teach a solid classical technique with some scales, studies and pieces, but there are many different ways to make music enjoyable or find other paths depending on the student's goal.

Although I was trained classically in Belgian Conservatoires and the Guildhall School of Music, I do like to teach a variety of music that is not just classical (Celtic, world, klezmer, jazz, tango, film music, pop...).
I often encourage my students to compose or improvise freely. In the last two decades, I have led many youth orchestras and violin workshops and worked for many different primary and secondary schools in England.

I'm a member of the European String Teachers Association.

I’m looking forward to meeting you, please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.

A very progressive method by ear to develop accuracy, memory and the ability to free up one's playing in order to be able to adapt it to very different or new styles.
I focus first on the plasticity of the sound at the same time as the awareness of rhythm takes place, the accuracy comes of itself as well as the obviousness of the good bow strokes which bring this expressiveness, these colours, these accents and these variations of intensity so specific to the violin.
Each student has a particular character, some have by nature a nervous tendency, others who have a bow that is too choppy need to make their playing more fluid, still others are naturally hyper relaxed, (as was Stéphane Grappelli, which is why he was praised by the greatest classical virtuosos, who envied him this predisposition).
Without sheet music, some people get stuck, unable to organically integrate melodic lines, rhythm, and musicality into the appropriate style. This is very common, which is why it's essential to play primarily by ear. For those who don't know how, it comes gradually; it's always the case, and it's important and reassuring to be aware of this in order to progress more easily.
Some have to work on their speed of execution, while others will have to concentrate on the stability of their sound over a longer bow stroke and the different speeds of vibrato...
etc... there are so many situations
All the necessary synchronizations for playing the violin fully must be acquired, regardless of the students' initial abilities. These are the first steps, which can differ according to individual temperaments. Moreover, it is these temperaments that shape their personality and tastes in a certain way, becoming their hallmark, and sometimes even their Achilles' heel, with which they will always be more or less at odds. This, in fact, represents a very beneficial and invigorating support, serving as powerful reference points for navigating challenging hurdles. Indeed, one often has to encounter obstacles to have the joy of knowing how to overcome them! And mastering the countless techniques of the violin requires facing them, ultimately leading to intense moments of fulfillment!

Hello !

I offer lessons tailored to your needs and level (working on repertoire from different styles). Of course, the joy of playing and learning is central!

Depending on the different pieces we work on (and following your wishes, of course!),
We will cover the different playing techniques (strumming, fingerpicking, playing with a pick, etc...), understanding the guitar fretboard (chords, triads, inversions, scales, CAGED system, etc...), and if you wish, different notions of harmony, composition and rhythm, to understand the construction of music.

About me :

I am a guitar teacher in several schools, and a professional musician, having gone through the conservatory (guitar, contemporary music and jazz, harmony and arrangement), the American School of Modern Music, and I have taken lessons from many teachers since my childhood.
I now have several years of experience as a guitar teacher, with many students aged from 4 to 70, in many very different contexts, including in prisons with beginner inmates.

I am an active musician, producer and guitarist for Como Como, the Silk Skin Lovers, and also bassist and guitarist in several Jazz-Fusion and Alternative Rock groups.
I am also a music producer, with good experience in computer music and mixing if that's something you're interested in!

Courses are available via video conference for greater flexibility.

Feel free to contact me to discuss the option that best suits your needs.

See you soon !

My name is Marta, and I'm from Galicia (Spain). I completed my piano Bachelor and postgraduate studies in the Higher School of Music of the Basque Country, and I'm pursuing now a Master's degree in the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.

During 10 years I've been teaching private lessons and working in Music Schools facilitating and guiding very different learning processes: from introducing young children to music and the piano through play or teaching basic harmony for song accompaniment, to supporting more experienced and dedicated students preparing official examinations. Always trying to create a musical and pianistic learning process as enriching, coherent, enjoyable and organic as possible.

I offer beginner-friendly lessons that combine music theory and piano, so you don’t just learn how to play, you understand what you’re playing.
These lessons are designed for students starting from zero. We build everything step by step, connecting theory directly to the piano to make learning more natural and effective.
We will cover:
Piano basics (hand position, simple pieces, coordination)
Notes, rhythm, and reading music
Scales and basic chords
Playing simple songs while understanding how they work
My approach is simple: learn, apply, and enjoy the process. I keep lessons interactive and adapted to each student, especially for kids, so progress feels natural instead of overwhelming.
