Violin lessons Delft - The Hague

 Welcome to my page! I am Alba Garcia Rivera, Spanish violinist and experienced violin teacher in Delft and Rijswijk- The Hague. Besides performing, I love teaching both beginners as well as intermediate and advanced violinists.

All Ages welcome

I have experience teaching children from 5 years old to adults of 80+. Maybe I'm wrong, but for me any age is the right age to enjoy making music!

Trial Lesson 

The trial lesson is a nice opportunity to get acquainted, discuss your goals, play something if you have some experience already, or hold the violin for the first time! You will get an impression of my way of teaching, and I can advise you if you don't have an instrument yet.

Violin Lessons at Your Home

I give the lessons at my home studio in The Hague/Rijswijk, but I can also come to you for lessons in Delft and Delfgauw.

Children and Music

Over the years I have seen how motivated, playful and creative children can be to discover new interesting things about the violin. This curious way of learning fascinates me, and I encourage it as much as possible!
Skills, basic knowledge and reading notes go hand in hand with fun in music.

What else can you expect?

Your child plays from various books such as: Zo Speel Ik Viool, Fiddle Time and Speel Viool. In addition, we play well-known classical and popular pieces together. Fun, educational and motivating!

More advanced?

If you play regularly, it is nice to discover new romantic, classical or baroque repertoire and thus take your playing to the 'next level'. You are also welcome to study orchestral parts together or to delve into jazz, pop or improvisation! Develop your technique and tone while playing the music that moves you most!

Online Lessons

We use videos that you make at home of your playing, so that I can give you online feedback later. Online sessions can be a good solution if you live too far away, are on holiday and have your violin with you, or can't find a suitable time for live sessions.

About Me

I started playing the violin at a young age in my hometown ,and moved to Granada to study Bachelor. At the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, I did my Master's degree with a specialisation in Baroque interpretation.

From Jazz to Baroque

I perform with the Metropol Orchestra (jazz), the orchestra of Granada, as a member of 'Escher Quintet' where i play impressionistic music.I also play with 'Il Giardino del Piacere', a specialised ensemble with which I perform baroque and renaissance repertoire.

Teaching Experience

I gained a lot of teaching experience during my work at various music schools, in Granada (Cullar Vega and Churriana) and in the Netherlands (Bergschenhoek). I have taught at the school for young talent of the Royal Conservatory of The Hague.
