Violin and Viola lessons in Rotterdam with experienced teacher. Everyone is welcome!

Enjoy the beauty of playing a musical instrument like violin or viola! My name is Alba, I'm Argentinian and I'd like to share all the love I have for these instruments and my joy for teaching. I've completed my studies at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag where I specialized in Baroque Music. In Argentina, I played in several orchestras and tango and folk music ensembles. Every student is different and that is why I adapt to their needs and musical preference and goals. I truly believe that you can learn at any age, if that is your desire. I would like to accompany you in that process!

Drawing & Sketching Lessons: From Artistic Basics to Architectural Drawing

WIth the passion for art and architecture, and both drawing and painting, I would be happy to share the knowledge I have about art (and architecture!). Lessons will be adjusted depending on your level and preferred direction. You can expect to learn from the basics of how to hold a pencil correctly - to training in portraits. I work in variety of methods and materials (can be seen on my website), therefore my knowledge is diverse. We can either explore which materials suit you more, or directly tackle the ones that have your preference. Other than the art school that I completed in Moldova, I also have experience teaching architecture drawing at TU Eindhoven. I have extensive knowledge of perspective and construction of shadows, and tips and tricks that can make your architecture drawings stand out. My aim is not only to teach you techniques but also to help you discover your strengths, develop your visual language, and find an approach to art that feels personal to you.

Performance Coaching for Singers & Musicians: Learn to be more confident, present, and connected on stage.

Do you feel like you know your music, but something changes when you step on stage? My coaching focuses on helping you get out of your head and make stronger, more specific choices in performance. I use an action-based approach drawn from acting technique and my research into how singers can use the score as a tool for dramatic interpretation. Rather than telling you to simply “feel” the music or try to become more emotional, we work with clear objectives, action verbs, physical choices, text, breath, and musical phrasing to give you something concrete to do in performance. We might work on: - Making a song or aria more dramatically specific - Finding playable actions and objectives in the text - Connecting physicality and movement to the music - Getting out of your head and reducing performance anxiety - Breaking down a character, scene, or monologue - Making musical and dramatic choices feel more natural and spontaneous - Preparing for auditions, recitals, competitions, or performances I work with singers and other musicians at different levels, and I tailor each session to what you are currently working on. You can bring a song, aria, monologue, audition material, or a performance problem you want to work through. My goal is not to give you a formula for performing. It is to give you practical tools that help you make your own choices and feel more free on stage.

Hi, Gianluca here! I offer bass and music theory classes in Rotterdam and online, from beginners to advanced.

Music is passion, art, expressiveness but alongside it there is also discipline, so as a teacher I like to introduce to my students both sides of music: the technical side, music theory, reading notes, technique and posture, and the more practical side where I stimulate students to let themselves be guided by their intuition based on their musical tastes, so that they learn to play their favorite songs in a very short time and immediately enjoy music through the bass, developing the ear training technique as much as possible. During my lessons you will learn all the important techniques to play your favorite music, from the basic technique to the slap through the plectrum and palm mute technique. The whole electronic side is also part of my lessons, from amplifiers to effects, everything you need to understand how to build a good bass sound, your own bass sound! Haven't bought your bass yet? Don't worry, during the first lessons there will always be an instrument for you in my studio ready to be played and in the meantime we can decide together which instrument is best suited to you by guiding you in your first purchase.

Guitar lessons for all ages and musical styles in Delfshaven.

Hey there! My name is Yorgos and I am a guitar performer and instructor. Originating from Greece I embarked on musical journey to the Netherlands because of its reach musical scene. For the past eleven years I have been pursuing my musical career in the city of Rotterdam and have been teaching in various musical styles and ages. At the age of fourteen, I picked up a guitar, and two decades later, it feels like an extension of my soul. With over twenty years of experience strumming and shaping melodies, I’ve spent eleven of those years sharing my passion as a private instructor and performer. My musical journey has led me to teach a diverse range of students—from seven-year-olds to adults—covering everything from the pop and blues to the soulful depths of rock, jazz, funk, and folk. During my studies at the Royal Conservatory I learned the how work with the basics of the Kodaly solmisation system and In addition I taught ensemble lessons at the International School of The Hague. Further on, I got the opportunity to develop my knowledge on music theory, and gained experience with rhythmic, melodic solfège and sightreading. These are topics I always like to include in my lessons, because I find them very important not only for the personal growth of each musician, but also for the deeper connection they create between the musician and the instrument. Finally, even though I like incorporating all the elements mentioned above into my lessons I foremost focus on tailoring the lessons around the needs of every student and helping in any way I can their growth of musical curiosity. I am looking forward to hearing from you and exploring the vast and beautiful world of music together!

Violin Lessons (Traditional, Classical, Rebetiko, Makam)

Violin private (or small group) lessons are offered in classical, traditional, and rebetiko violin, classical theory, Makam theory and improvisation for all ages, from beginners to advanced levels. The lessons are taught by a qualified violinist (Degree in classical violin, Orfeio conservatory of Athens, Greece) and bachelor student of CODARTS Academy (Rotterdam, Netherlands) - World music (Ottoman violin) with four years of teaching experience. There is also the option to learn theory, solfège. Bio: Yvonne was born in Kavala in 1998. She began her violin studies at the age of seven under the guidance of Z. Zlateva. She studied classical violin and music theory and obtained her diploma with "highest honors" in 2022 from the Orpheus Conservatory in Athens, under the guidance of her teachers, M. Plesti and D. Semsis. Since 2023, she has been a student at Codarts WMDC (Rotterdam, Netherlands), pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Turkish music-Ottoman violin (teacher: Burak Savas). She has been a member of many orchestras as well as various music ensembles and workshops (music ensemble with A. Liakakis and T. Gouvelis, classical violin with M. Szlezer, experimental violin with F. Siotas, composition and orchestration with V. Papadopoulos, oriental violin with G. Papaioannou, M. Kouloumis, composition and orchestration with C. Erdogan, M. Nasser, Y. Tockan, G. Baktagir, Kudsi Erguner’s ensemble, Greek traditional music with M. Mavroidi, folk orchestra with M. Pappou, etc.) and has performed on some of the most important music stages in the country. She has composed music for dance performances and short films. Additionally, she is a graduate student at the Law School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Her first album, titled "Myrra," with T. Kofodimos, was released in December 2023. She has taught classical violin at the Pefki Municipal Conservatory, the Athens Conservatory, the Trofonio Conservatory of Livadeia, and has four years of experience teaching private lessons to students of all ages. My idea: Each lesson is unique and tailored to the student's needs. We can adjust the lesson according to what each person desires: from classical technique, exercises, and repertoire, to Maqam theory, taqsim, traditional/rebetiko/Ottoman repertoire, and of course, improvisation. My fundamental principle is that technique comes first, but what's important is that musical knowledge is not sterile but enjoyable. I achieve this through a variety of repertoire, a pleasant atmosphere, and especially through group playing, both among ourselves and with other students and musicians.
