Viola lessons with Saskia

For years, I've been happily teaching children and young people in Amsterdam Westerpark.

 My approach is very personal; I focus on what you want to work towards and which pieces you enjoy playing. You're welcome to bring a pop song or your favorite piece to class.

The viola is slightly larger than the ‘soprano’ violin and, in terms of sound, lies somewhere between the cello and the violin. I was captivated by this instrument's deep tone and use it frequently in my band's studio recordings. The viola is also a great instrument for playing in a group setting.

 If you already play the violin and want to learn to play the viola, the transition is very easy; the two instruments combine well.

To discover if this instrument is right for you, you can sign up for the ten-lesson beginner's course.

If you don't have your own violin, I can also help you find places to rent a good violin at a low price. This is convenient because there are different sizes of violins depending on your arm length, so the violin grows with you!
