Lessons are available in English, Spanish and Dutch.

Have you always dreamed of playing the cello but never taken the first step?
Are you an advanced cellist looking to refine your technique and deepen your musical expression?
Or are you returning to the instrument and searching for fresh motivation and structured guidance?

My lessons are tailored to each student’s personal goals and musical journey. Whether you are a beginner discovering the instrument for the first time or an experienced player, we will work together to develop your technique, musical understanding, and artistic confidence.

In our lessons we explore the richness of the classical cello repertoire, and if you are interested we can also explore other musical styles. Technique and expression go hand in hand: we will work on bow control, a flexible and confident left hand, and a healthy, natural posture that allows freedom and ease when playing.

My goal is not only to help you play better, but to help you play with confidence, depth, and authenticity.

I also offer coaching for chamber music groups. With extensive experience in chamber music, I guide ensembles in refining their interpretation, communication, balance, and musical interaction.

Discover the expressive possibilities of the cello and let the music truly speak.

Children are welcome from around 4 years old.

Nederlandse versie

De lessen kunnen gegeven worden in het Engels, Spaans of Nederlands.

Heb je er altijd van gedroomd om cello te spelen, maar nooit de eerste stap gezet?
Ben je een gevorderde cellist die zijn of haar spel verder wil verfijnen?
Of pak je de cello opnieuw op en ben je op zoek naar nieuwe motivatie en gerichte begeleiding?

Mijn lessen worden afgestemd op jouw persoonlijke doelen en muzikale ontwikkeling. Of je nu beginner bent of gevorderd, samen werken we aan techniek, muzikaliteit en zelfvertrouwen in het spelen.

Tijdens de lessen verkennen we het prachtige klassieke cellorepertoire en, indien gewenst, ook andere stijlen en genres. Techniek en expressie gaan hand in hand: we werken aan een verfijnde streektechniek, een sterke en flexibele linkerhand en een gezonde, natuurlijke speelhouding.

Mijn doel is niet alleen dat je beter leert spelen, maar dat je met vertrouwen, diepgang en authenticiteit musiceert.

Daarnaast bied ik coaching aan voor kamermuziekensembles. Met mijn ervaring in kamermuziek help ik groepen bij het verfijnen van interpretatie, communicatie, balans en samenspel.

Ontdek de expressieve mogelijkheden van de cello en laat de muziek spreken.

Kinderen zijn welkom vanaf ongeveer 4 jaar oud.

Présentation
Hello, my name is Laura.

I hold a Master’s degree in Classical Music from HKU Conservatory. I have experience teaching children, and I also work with adults of all levels.

As a music teacher, my main goal is to nurture a deep passion for music in my students. I believe that music is a powerful emotional language. When students truly connect with what they play, they are able to express a wide range of emotions and genuinely communicate with their audience. Without passion and emotional involvement, music loses its meaning.

At the same time, artistic expression must be supported by solid technical foundations. Developing proper technique makes playing easier, more natural, and more enjoyable. Equally important is building healthy habits from the beginning—especially correct posture and body awareness—to prevent tension and long-term physical issues.

For me, great music education is a balance between emotion and technique. In my lessons, we work on both aspects so that students can grow not only as musicians, but also as confident and expressive performers.

Hallo, mijn naam is Laura

Ik heb een masterdiploma in Klassieke Muziek behaald aan het HKU Conservatorium. Ik heb ervaring met het lesgeven aan kinderen en werk daarnaast ook met volwassenen van alle niveaus.

Als muziekdocent is mijn belangrijkste doel om bij mijn leerlingen een diepe passie voor muziek te ontwikkelen. Ik geloof dat muziek een krachtige emotionele taal is. Wanneer leerlingen echt verbonden zijn met wat ze spelen, kunnen ze een breed scala aan emoties uitdrukken en oprecht communiceren met hun publiek. Zonder passie en emotionele betrokkenheid verliest muziek haar betekenis.

Tegelijkertijd moet artistieke expressie worden ondersteund door een solide technische basis. Het ontwikkelen van een goede techniek maakt het spelen gemakkelijker, natuurlijker en plezieriger. Even belangrijk is het aanleren van gezonde gewoontes vanaf het begin — vooral een correcte houding en lichaamsbewustzijn — om spanning en fysieke klachten op de lange termijn te voorkomen.

Voor mij is goed muziekonderwijs een balans tussen emotie en techniek. In mijn lessen werken we aan beide aspecten, zodat leerlingen zich niet alleen ontwikkelen als muzikanten, maar ook als zelfverzekerde en expressieve uitvoerders.

Education
I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Cello at the Conservatory of Castelló (Spain). During my studies, I participated in the Erasmus program at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EMTA) in Tallinn, Estonia. I later completed my Master’s degree at the HKU Conservatory in Utrecht.

In addition to my formal education, I have attended several lessons and masterclasses with Maria Macedo. During my Master’s studies, I also followed Alexander Technique lessons, which further enriched my understanding of body awareness and healthy posture in musical performance.

Ik behaalde mijn bachelordiploma cello aan het Conservatorium van Castelló (Spanje). Tijdens mijn studie nam ik deel aan het Erasmusprogramma aan de Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EMTA) in Tallinn, Estland. Vervolgens voltooide ik mijn masteropleiding aan het HKU Conservatorium in Utrecht.

Naast mijn formele opleiding volgde ik verschillende lessen en masterclasses bij Maria Macedo. Tijdens mijn masteropleiding volgde ik ook lessen in de Alexandertechniek, wat mijn inzicht in lichaamsbewustzijn en een gezonde houding tijdens het musiceren verder heeft verdiept.
Expérience / Qualifications
I have experience teaching cello and music theory to children, helping young students build both strong technical foundations and musical understanding.

As a performer, I have played in orchestras such as the Kammeroper Frankfurt, the Orchestre National des Jeunes du Luxembourg, and the Utrecht Young Symphony Orchestra. These experiences have allowed me to develop strong ensemble skills and a deep understanding of orchestral repertoire.

During my musical education, I was actively involved in various chamber music formations, including string quartets, string trios, piano trios, and other ensembles. Chamber music has played an essential role in shaping my listening skills, musical sensitivity, and collaborative approach to performance.

Ik heb ervaring met het geven van cellolessen en muziektheorielessen aan kinderen, waarbij ik jonge leerlingen help om zowel een sterke technische basis als een goed muzikaal begrip te ontwikkelen.

Als uitvoerend musicus heb ik gespeeld in orkesten zoals de Kammeroper Frankfurt, het Orchestre National des Jeunes du Luxembourg en het Utrecht Young Symphony Orchestra. Deze ervaringen hebben mij in staat gesteld om sterke ensemblevaardigheden te ontwikkelen en een diepgaand inzicht te krijgen in het orkestrepertoire.

Tijdens mijn muziekopleiding was ik actief betrokken bij diverse kamermuziekensembles, waaronder strijkkwartetten, strijktrio’s, pianotrio’s en andere formaties. Kamermuziek heeft een essentiële rol gespeeld in de ontwikkeling van mijn luistervaardigheid, muzikale gevoeligheid en mijn samenwerkingsgerichte benadering van musiceren.

Dear violin lovers! I'm a violin teacher for 10 years now, I have been teaching in Portugal and the Netherlands. My lessons can be given in English, Portuguese, French or Spanish.

Playing the violin is my passion, especially when I can pass on my knowledge and love for music to my students of all ages and levels.

I work as a team with you, finding the right method that fit your needs. What is important for me is to work on a good connection with the instrument and find the right basis for the start of your violin playing.
In my violin lessons, I would like also to share with you my musical knowledge, show you recordings of great violin players, prepare with you pieces that you always wanted to play and give you the tools so you can achieve your goals in music. I like to share the general knowledge of violin playing as well as basic and intermediate music theory lessons so you can enter in the world of music, but especially to have fun!!

My lessons can be shared between violin and theory together depending on what you are looking for.

The lessons will be at my house if you are in need of an instrument we can find one for you!

I did my Bachelor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with the teachers Maria Milstein and Eliot Lawson and completed my Masters in Performance degree with excellency as well in Amsterdam under the guidance of Liviu Prunaru and Mathieu van Bellen while studying baroque violin with Shunske Sato.

I have my own violin class in Amsterdam, and I love teaching.

I look forward to sharing this adventure with you!
Hope to hear from you!

Everyone learns differently, and that’s what makes teaching piano so rewarding for me. I aim to create a space where you can grow at your own pace and truly enjoy the process. My approach to lessons is relaxed, supportive, and always tailored to each student’s needs and goals. Whether you're a complete beginner or have been playing for a while, the lessons are designed to help you build skills confidently, with a focus on keeping things enjoyable and motivating throughout.

Lessons typically include a mix of technical exercises, work on pieces (classical, pop, or anything you're interested in). I may also include elements like sight-reading, rhythm, or ear training, depending on what you need. I like to keep things flexible and adapt to what works best for you.

I work best with beginners and intermediate players of all ages. Whether you're learning for fun, picking it up again after a break, or preparing for early-level exams, we can shape the lessons around your goals!
