Maria L
Violin, Viola and Piano
Maria L is a passionate musician who holds a Masters degree music. With over 20 years experience as a Violin and Piano teacher, Maria’s style is both clear and accessible.Â
She started playing the Violin at the age of 5 and studied at the National Music School, then at the Conservatory in Sofia, Bulgaria. She completed her Masters degree in Antwerp, Belgium.Â
Maria firmly believes that a teacher should be able to play the instrument they teach. Her approach is based on the Eastern European system of education, which is characterised by intensive preparation, high discipline and respect for the teacher. Maria combines this traditional approach with the freedom and flexibility of Western education. The result is intense training delivered in the most acceptable and entertaining way possible.
Maria works with all age groups and believes that musical activities are extremely important for proper education and personal development. For adults, music is known to have positive effects as an anti-stress therapy, actively fighting against depressive states of mind and increasing concentration. These positive effects of music are well presented in music therapy texts.
When you play an instrument you become an active participant. To become an active participant you must learn to speak the musical language - the language without words.
In Maria’s own words: "It's the Alchemy where you have to be in constant concentration to find the freedom of your own movement."
Maria will be your guide in learning this beautiful language and bring you along your own amazing musical journey.
