I'm an experienced teacher, Master's in Education, that truly believes that music is for everyone. My classes are planned according to the aims of each student. I teach all levels: from amateur musicians to people that sing in choirs and want to learn to read music better, professional musicians that struggle with sight-reading, harmony or improvisation, I helped many students preparing for the bachelor's entrance exams and more.
I have classes for babies, toddlers, and children (you can check my project "SoundBox MusicLab" to find more)

Wether you are:
▪︎ a parent interested in introducing your children to the violin or the viola or maybe develop abilities they already have
▪︎ an adult who wants to take the step into the world of playing a musical instrument because, trust me, it's never too late to start
▪︎someone already able to play an instrument (any instrument) but want to understand how the language of music works on a theoretical level
▪︎ someone who would like to make chamber music together with a group friends and you would like to have a coach who guides you
We can definitely work together and achieve your musical goals!

I have been in the world of music since my early teens and have gathered experience with both violin and viola, even though I ended especializing in the latter, performing but also teaching children and adults. My several years of university studies have given me a functional and integral knowledge of Music Theory. Regarding Chamber Music, which is my life passion, I have studied and performed in a wide variety of contexts and places in Europe and America. In the Netherlands, I received my Master's Degree in Viola at the Maastricht Conservatory.

Get into and explore the world of classical music through violin and viola !!

Dear music lovers,

I'm a professional violin and viola player who teaches students of all ages and levels.
During my musical education I had the opportunity to study in different conservatories in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland, awakening in me a passion for teaching the violin and viola and thus beginning to give private lessons and coaching youth orchestras.

In my lessons I help the student to feel enjoyment while playing, and feel happy with their instrument in order to connect with their musical imagination.
Considering the level and age, different methods and exercises will structure the lesson in order to get good aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body posture.

Not only interested in classical music?
The stable technical base you will reach during the lessons will give you the tools to feel free and comfortable playing in other styles with your instrument.

Don't miss this opportunity!

Passionate about the piano since the age of 7, and a Master's student at the Royal Conservatory of Liège, I wish to pass on my passion to anyone who wants to start or improve in this beautiful instrument that is the piano. .
Music theory, being obviously necessary for learning an instrument, will be included in piano lessons.

Different methods will be discussed during the course, depending on the student's needs and expectations. Each student is different and a lesson may differ depending on the level of the student. But I like to start with a few small technical exercises aimed at working on the agility of the fingers, and which will allow the student to get to know the instrument well.
Followed by a work of small melodies, according to the level of the pupil.

The courses will be given at my home, and the duration of the course may be 30min / 45min / 60min.

Hope to meet you,
Alexander.

Welcome to my profile!

My name is Fabiola, and I am a violin and viola teacher and children’s orchestra conductor based in Maastricht. I work with students of all ages, creating a supportive, creative, and personalized learning environment where each student can grow at their own pace and enjoy making music.

As an active orchestral performer, I bring my professional experience on stage directly into my teaching. I help students develop a solid technique while fostering musicality, expression, and confidence. I use a variety of teaching approaches, including Suzuki, ABRSM, Trinity, and Galamian methods, adapting them to each student’s age, personality, and goals.

In my lessons, I also focus on how to practice effectively at home, tackle challenging passages, and prepare confidently for public performances.

I began my musical journey with El Sistema in Venezuela and continued my studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid, specializing in both performance and pedagogy. I completed a Master’s in Violin Performance with a focus on Spanish music, as well as a symphonic master’s in collaboration with the Spanish Radio and Television Orchestra (Orquesta RTVE).

I currently collaborate with the Philharmonie Zuidnederland and the Spanish Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra, while also teaching private violin and viola lessons. I believe that discipline and enjoyment go hand in hand, and I enjoy guiding each student in their artistic and personal growth.
