Welcome to Vioolstudio Diana in Hilversum!
Do you want to learn to play the violin in a friendly relaxed atmosphere? I love teaching the violin on all levels. Young or old, beginner or advanced. I create a lesson program that is tailored to your needs, all pupils are different. The most important is pure enjoyment of playing
Beginners can expect the following:
Mastering placement of the fingers in the first hand position. Right hand bow hold and bowing straight. Learn to read notes. After two years of lessons you can play in an orchestra such as the Gooise Youth Orchestra. Always playing together during the lesson with piano accompaniment or two violins. Cheerful violin books from Fiddle Time with recordings that you can play along with. Take part in festive violin concerts that I organise. A lot of laughter but not in detriment to the learning process. It is important to play regularly at home.
Advanced players can expect the following:
Mastering all the left hand positions. Producing a beautiful sound, vibrato. Different bow techniques such as spiccato, portato and martele. Interpretation of different music styles. Attention to a relaxed posture. Huge choice of repertoire from baroque to contemporary. Participate in festive violin concerts organised by me. Play in the Amersfoorts Youth Orchestra, Cuypers Ensemble or student orchestra. Versatility and humour are very important aspects of the lessons.
