My name is Lauren I am a violinist and composer based in Schöppingen, Germany. I received my Bachelors Degree in Viola Performance at The Juilliard School in 2019, and have since taught music lessons online and in-person since 2013. I have experience teaching students of all ages, from 3-80. I teach classical music, improvisation, even electronics, if that is of interest.

I always cater to the needs and interests of my students, creating an individualized lesson plan for them. I have studied Alexander Technique, and always emphasize the importance of physical health and comfort in my instrumental teaching.

When teaching composition - I enjoy discovering the creativity of each student, helping them find their individual voice. I can teach Dorico Notation Software, Adobe Illustrator, Logic Pro X, and Ableton.

I currently teach students internationally, and can accommodate other time zones.

English is my native language, however I teach enough German to teach lessons.

I can teach viola classes at all levels, and violin to students up to the sixth of Professional Grade. I can also teach music theory at all levels and support the study of other subjects taught at the conservatory, such as music history, analysis, orchestra, chamber music, etc.
I believe that the teacher must be able to adapt a lot to the student, and especially in music I find it very important to understand the sensitivity and difficulties of each student. I consider myself a demanding person, but very empathetic and patient.
It is very important to me, apart from all the factors that affect the performance, to emphasize the care of the posture and the tensions of the body to avoid injuries that can be caused by playing the viola or the violin.

I have over 10 years experience teaching the violin and music theory. Highly knowledgeable and skilled in disseminating vital informations to students. My students will understand the art of playing the violin and also, the theoretical approach. With my level of experience, I believe I can nurture talents to their maturity.
ABRSM and Trinity syllabus. Suzuki Violin Method. Over the years, I have also applied Montessori method to teaching violin and music in general. My class is not static in approach. I look deep into the ability of my students and figure out how best to make them shine

Harmony, counterpoint, analysis, solfeggio, music theory, composition and everything concerning music writing. The student will develop knowledge of the rules and practical application of them. The lessons are designed for musicians that just want to know how music deeply works, or composers that want to master the composing technique fully. Every student will have his own program. (Due to my artistic activities, the weekly availability changes constantly, so don"t mind the availability scheme on Apprentus)

Feel free to contact me and I will explain what could be our goals and the ways and methods I apply for your case. I will answer in some hours.

My name is Daniela, and I am a cross-over violist from Costa Rica. I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 to pursue my studies at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Classical Music (Viola). I am currently continuing my journey at Codarts with a Master's degree in Latin Music.

During my time in the Netherlands, I have been part of a wide range of musical projects across different genres — from classical orchestras and chamber music to pop, jazz, and world music collaborations. I've performed with ensembles such as the Jong Metropole and recorded with various pop, jazz, and fusion bands. I am also the bandleader of my own Latin project, La Reunión, and work as a freelance musician with diverse musical groups.

Before moving to the Netherlands, I studied Music Education at the University of Costa Rica and worked for several years as a private teacher. I have experience teaching violin and viola to both children and adults.

As a teacher, I am kind and patient. I believe in the value of consistent, focused work and in helping students grow step by step. I aim to make the learning process feel easy and fun!

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.

With my international performing and academic experience, I aim to help students build strong technical foundations, develop musical expression, and gain confidence in performance. Lessons can also focus on exam preparation, audition repertoire, chamber music coaching, and concert programs.

Each lesson is individually tailored to the student’s goals, level, and learning style.

I am very happy to work with students of all ages and levels who would like to learn the violin. Learning proper technique can be challenging and requires patience, and producing a beautiful, unique sound also takes time and dedication.
I want my students to enjoy the learning process, and I would love to support you on your musical journey!

I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Music from Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo, Japan, and the University of Music, Drama and Media Hannover. I am currently pursuing my Soloist Diploma while working as a teaching assistant to my professor, Daniel Gaede, former concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic, at the University of Music Nürnberg.

I would love to share my knowledge and passion for the violin, helping students develop their technique, musicality, and love of performing.

Do you have a saxophone at home and don't know where to start? Or perhaps you're looking to understand music once and for all for your own compositions?

I'm a professional musician, and my goal is for you to enjoy playing from the very first week. In my classes, we leave behind dense theory to focus on what matters: making music. We'll adapt the repertoire to your tastes (Pop, Jazz, Blues, Urban, etc.) while organically developing technique, sound, and musical language.

With me you will learn:

- Saxophone: Control of air, embouchure and fingering without bad habits, bring out your best sound.

- Musical Language: Reading and rhythm and transcribing your favorite melodies or solos.

- Harmony: Understand how the songs you like the most work.

Classes adapted to all ages and levels. Let's make music your best hobby or your next professional goal!

Piano is more than just playing notes, it’s about expression, discipline, and telling a story through music. As a pianist with experience winning Chopin piano competitions, earning regional awards, and performing in competitive showcases, I bring both high-level training and real performance insight into every lesson.

Through more than 10 years of preparing for competitions and public performances, I have developed strong technical precision, musical interpretation skills, and a deep understanding of classical repertoire, especially Romantic composers like Chopin. I use this experience to guide students not only in mastering technique, but in developing artistry, confidence, and stage presence.

My lessons are fully personalized. Whether you are a beginner building fundamentals or an advanced student preparing for competitions, auditions, or recitals, I tailor each session to your goals. We focus on technique, music reading, rhythm, interpretation, and expressive playing, while building strong practice habits that lead to consistent improvement.

I provide structured guidance, constructive feedback, and a supportive environment that challenges students to grow while keeping their passion for music alive. My goal is to help each student unlock their full potential and perform with both confidence and musical depth.
