Teaching Approach

My teaching methodology at my music school in The Hague is built on the principle that music theory should be learned through practical application. I structure my music theory lessons to integrate essential skills like ear training, rhythm exercises, and musical dictation. This ensures that students in my music tutoring program, both in-person and through my online music school, can immediately apply what they learn to their instruments, making lessons engaging, effective, and directly connected to musical performance.

I offer personalized music instruction for students at all levels, whether they are preparing for prestigious exams like ABRSM and Trinity College or aiming for conservatory entrance exams. My online music tutoring through my music school provides flexible options for students in The Hague and beyond, with lessons tailored to each student’s goals. These sessions are designed to ensure academic success and cultivate a lasting appreciation for music.

Through this comprehensive approach to music education, I aim to provide a well-rounded experience that equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in both musical performance and theoretical understanding. My goal is to help students achieve their best, whether through in-person or online music lessons offered by my music school, that fit into their busy lives.
