Violin and Viola Lessons - Experienced Professional Teacher in Amsterdam

Violin and Viola Lessons - Professional and Experienced Teacher in North Holland ( Viool / Altviool )


Hi there! I’m offering a great opportunity to those interested in developing their musical abilities with individual guidance.

- Violin or Viola lessons

- Lessons for students of all ages and levels of experience. Beginners to University Level.

- Flexible teaching style

No matter your level of prior experience, your lessons will always be centered on the joy of making music. We will work on developing a beautiful sound and building a way of playing that will allow you to perform the works that you love.

Throughout the lessons, you will be provided with methods that enable you to examine and overcome any challenge that you might face as you progress. You will be given the tools to independently continue your practice at home.

All styles of playing can be covered - from ornamentation in Baroque, or the operatic classicism of Mozart, to the romantic richness of Brahms or the impressionist fluidity of Debussy.

Apart from classical music, we can cover your favorites from Pop, Folk, and Film Soundtracks.


I aim to promote an artistic conversation around a common love for music. Whether you're looking to start a new hobby or you are wanting to gain some fundamentals to pursue your professional career, we can find a plan to suit your personal interests and schedule.

Please feel free to contact me to organize a first lesson.

Paul.

PLACES, FEES - 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.

Do you like singing? Or do you walk around with songs in your head all day? Then take singing lessons with Deborah online or in Amstelveen Westwijk. We sing songs from different countries and times. We will also work on different rhythms, notes and tone exercises. If you are busy singing you can even have a completely different feeling and you can ensure that you have extra energy for the rest of the day. Your body is your instrument when singing. We try to make that instrument sound as beautiful as possible.. During the singing lessons we also work on articulation, the pronunciation of foreign languages and also on the meaning of and your feelings about a particular piece. Of course we decide together what kind of music you will sing. We will also make a journey of discovery together to your favorite music. WHO CAN LEARN TO SING? Anyone can learn to sing. That will be because of the singing lessons. Also singing is good for relaxation, both of body and mind. Singing is simply fun!
