Your first steps on the violin and music, learn at your own pace! - Leuven

Your first steps on the violin and music, learn at your own pace!

From 40 £ /h

Hi! I'm Aitana, a professional violinist and currently based in Leuven.

I started playing the violin when I was 4 years old, and since then music has been a big part of my life. I studied violin at a higher-education level in Spain and Belgium, and I recently completed my Master's Degree in Violin Performance at LUCA School of Arts in Leuven, graduating Cum Laude. I have also performed with different orchestras and musical projects in Belgium and abroad.

I have experience teaching violin to children, beginners and students who already have some experience with the instrument. I also enjoy helping students with music theory, reading music, rhythm and ear training.

For me, learning an instrument should be more than just practicing the right notes. Of course, technique is important, but I also want my students to understand the music, feel comfortable with the instrument and, most importantly, enjoy playing it!

I always try to adapt my lessons to the student. Some people learn better through games and practical exercises, while others prefer to understand exactly how and why something works. We can also choose music together depending on your interests.

Whether you are starting from scratch, learning violin for fun, preparing for an exam or audition, or simply looking to improve your playing, I would be happy to help you.

No previous experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and your love for music!

I am passionate about teaching guitar! Over the last 10 years I have been teaching students from ages 7-70 from complete beginners to advanced players with one thing in common - their wish to play guitar more comfortably and have fun while doing it!

I am a classical guitarist with a background in pedagogy, psychology and physiotherapy, my approach - methodical.
While working on the things you want to improve and learn I will also help you develop a deep understanding of the theory and principles that music is built upon. Our lessons will be exploratory and imaginative whilst also underpinned by technical knowledge so that you can enjoy playing comfortably and without pain.

My aim is to get you to where you want to be playing guitar, whether that be for friends at New Year or on the stage at Carnegie Hall!

Hello! This year I obtained my Master's degree in violin at LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens under Lei Wang and am now starting my adventure as a professional violinist. I have been giving private lessons for six years now and hope to teach more this coming academic year than was previously compatible with my studies. In my lessons, I find it most important that students have fun and feel comfortable in their own skin. In my opinion, this is an essential prerequisite for continuous motivation to learn technically and musically, with a focus on a pace that feels right for the student. My teaching method varies greatly per student because I try to adapt each lesson to what suits the student best and what they need at a particular moment in the lesson. Besides being a musician at heart, I also have a strong interest in psychology. Consequently, over the past few years during my violin studies, I have taken a number of courses annually in the psychology program at KU Leuven. I use the knowledge I gained there to reflect on my educational practice as a violin teacher and to create a safe space for my students in which they can develop freely as musicians and as people.
I look forward to meeting you! If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Always wanted to play the violin, but it never happened?

Years of your violin not touched and now the will to pick it up again?

You are never too old to learn it or to pick it up again!
I am a violinist from Hungary - I have completed my Masters Degree in Teaching at the University of Debrecen, and in the meantime I have given violin lessons in various music schools in Hungary. I have played actively in various professional orchestras.
From this year I started the Artistic Master's program at the Lemmens Institute.
Since my first year at the university I teach private lessons, I have experience with both children and adults.

I can teach in English, Dutch, French and Hungarian. I am also following Norwegian classes, and I can give it a try in Norwegian as well.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the violin or start over? Then you've come to the right place!

I am a Belgian violinist, 25 years old, who obtained her master's degree in violin and chamber music at the Lemmens Institute last year.
As a violin teacher, the fun of the students is central. With a stimulating and motivated approach, we take on new challenges by looking together for a beautiful sound, musicality, relaxation and suitable repertoire. I cater to the interests of each student. I want to make you curious about the instrument and show you all the possibilities of the violin.

I have already gained experience in youth music studios, part-time art education and private.

Lessons can be given at my home in Leuven or Roeselare.

Graduated in Music - Having studied piano (classical) at the University of Évora (Portugal), Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (Germany) and at the Aquiles Delle Vigne International Music Academy. She is currently studying a Masters in Performance at LUCA School of Arts, Leuven, Belgium.
I have a lot of experience in teaching piano and music theory in different musical styles and theoretical/musical training from children to adults, in official conservatories, music schools and private lessons,

In my classes I try to share my musical knowledge, both practically and theoretically. The courses are aimed at those who want to have more direct contact with music, whether for the first time or not. I take great pleasure in teaching and I give great importance to each student. I like to choose repertoire that matches both student's musical tastes and technical work in need. I always try to encourage students and provide quality teaching.
In musical training courses, I help students at conservatories/academies and teach classes to students without any theoretical basis.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Music is a universal language that connects people and allows unique expression. As a saxophonist and flutist with a background in jazz, I have designed this course as a practical guide for students who want to improve their technique, discover improvisation, and understand modern harmony.

You will learn to develop your sound on saxophone or flute, improvise with confidence, apply harmony concepts in jazz and other styles, and prepare effectively for entrance exams in music programs. My lessons are tailored to your level and goals so you can enjoy learning and make steady progress.

Playing the cello is a skill that takes some time to learn. We will get through lots of pieces and do a lot of playing in classes. In some lessons, if necessary, we will learn about music theory as well, which helps us read music better and get to know our pieces better!

My goal with cello teaching class is to find the best for everyone and try to understand different personalities, of course there are some basics which must be discussed and worked but main idea is to develop our view through the enormously huge music world!

Have you always wanted not just to play notes, but to truly understand how music works?

Music theory is not dry rules or mechanical training.
It is thinking, feeling, structuring, imagining, and being free at the same time.

I am a musicologist, composer, pianist, organist, and harpsichordist with two academic degrees (Composition & Musicology), more than 10 years of teaching experience, and an active international concert career across Europe. My students study at prestigious music academies, perform on European stages, and develop artistic identity and confidence.

I combine academic precision with creative freedom and a supportive atmosphere.

Each student receives an individual learning plan. I adapt my method depending on age, level, and goals — whether it is:
- first steps in music theory (4–6 years old, playful format)
- support lessons for instrumental students
- harmony and polyphony for composers
- preparation for entrance exams, competitions, or conservatory studies

Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and neuroaesthetics research, I help students:
- understand harmony, form, and musical structure
- think analytically and creatively at the same time
- connect theory with real repertoire
- develop inner hearing and musical memory
- gain confidence in exams and performances

Send me a message — and we will build your personal path into the logic and beauty of music.

Music theory is not only about rules.
It is about discovering the architecture of sound — and discovering yourself through it.
