Violin Lessons Amsterdam - Weesp
Hello! I'm Giorgos Samoilis, a dedicated, professional and enthousiastic violin teacher in Amsterdam area.
Is this you?
Have you always wanted to learn to play the violin and recently decided now is the time? More experienced violinist, looking for new repertoire, inspiration and personalised instructions to take your playing to a higher level? Looking for motivating and fun violin lessons for your child?
Why wait?
You've come to the right place! Music is part of my life since I was a child and I'm totally in love with the violin and the wonderful repertoire. I know playing the violin is not easy, but I can tell you: it's fun and you will love it too!
Why first a trial lesson?
In your trial lesson, we'll get to know each other personally and discuss lesson times, the desired duration and frequency of your lessons, the location, your musical preferences, and your goals. Will this be your first introduction to the violin? Great! If you've had lessons before, I'd love to hear you play! You'll get a feel for my teaching style right away.
Violin Lessons for Children
From the very beginning we have duos to play together. With easy classical and modern tunes, playful pieces and fun exercises your child will develop a musical ear and a solid technique. Step bey step your child learns to read music. Fun in music comes always first!
First Lessons?
Well done for taking the first step! As violinists, we are fortunate to have a wonderful repertoire for all tastes! Classical and baroque music but also popular tunes and film sound tracks. You''ll be encouraged to make music from the very first lesson with easy duets and progressive tuition materials.
What and how
In a relaxed atmosphere we will work on developing a smooth technique, always in a tension-free manner. We'll be focusing on tone production, dexterity of fingers, intonation, scales, fun exercises and classical or popular tunes. Together with some necessary music theory, always applied to the instrument, you'll learn pieces of gradual difficulty.
Isn't this what you want?
Imagine you are more advanced and want to play more smoothly, more accurately, and consistently with a beautiful vibrato and a bright and moving sound! Imagine yourself discovering new pieces and effortlessly flowing through your orchestral or chamber music parts! Wow!
How to get there?
We will work on more advanced concert pieces, popular music, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Brahms, Schubert, Beethoven sonatas, scales and etudes, bowing technique, fluent bow changes, vibrato exercises, playing in tune, playing in positions, articulation, phrasing and musical expression.
Deepening
Every piece of music has a hidden story, and discovering it (we'll delve into this in more detail in class) will add an extra dimension to your interpretation. Your passion for music is expressed through your violin, timing, vibrato, dynamics, and tone production.
Lessons at your Home Amsterdam
Lessons at your home in Amsterdam, Diemen, Amstelveen may be arranged. My lesson location is in Weesp, nearby Diemen, Amsterdam Oost, Abcoude, Naarden, Muiden.
Orchestra and Chamber Music
Difficult passages in orchestra or ensemble parts can be troublesome! Making music should be without stress and, although it requires quite soms concentration and hard work, it should be fun and relaxing. Better be well prepared when you go to your music rehearsals! Welcome to bring your orchestra and chamber music to the lessons!
Baroque Violin
Are you curious to learn more about music from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries and to play the Baroque violin? I have specialised in this area and would be happy to discuss with you in depth the ornamentation techniques, trills, different styles, bowings, articulation, fingerings and dance forms in music. Get ready to expand your musical horizons and sign up for a trial lesson! It will give you tremendous pleasure!
About Me
I'm half Greek half Venezuelan and I started playing the violin at the age of seven. I'm an all round performing violinist, performing and teaching modern and baroque violin. I have graduated from the conservatory of Utrecht as a baroque violin player with a masters degree and I perform often with baroque ensembles in the Netherlands and abroad. I love teaching since it is an opportunity to share my passion for music making!
