Experienced tutor in Violin in Ghent, Anna offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

“Anna was very patient and encouraging with the intellectual and physical challenges of learning violin. Our 6 year old daughter looks forward to her weekly violin lessons.”

Anna is a wonderful, positive teacher. She’s clearly had a lot of experience working with children and is a mother herself. My daughter looks forward to her lesson every week, and thanks to this she’s eager to practice regularly and is seeing a ton of progress! Thanks, Ms. Anna!”

“Stevie has been a student of Anna’s for about a year and it is so wonderful to see the progress over that time. Anna is a dedicated and warm teacher and guide. She and Stevie have developed their own relationship and that works to encourage growth and accountability. Highly recommend.”

“I loved taking lessons with Anna. She was so patient with me and really took a holistic approach to my learning needs. It’s quite challenging learning a new instrument as an adult but she made the process so pleasant. She is very adaptable and looks at everything in the equation of your personal learning style.”

“Anna is a great viola teacher and is extremely patient. She helps me make sure that I have good positioning, before moving on to more difficult things. She is very considerate and can match anyone’s needs. I am very lucky to have her as a viola teacher.”

“Truly a great teacher. I learned a great deal. Terrific personality and excellent teacher. Very good at teaching the basics to me.”

“Anna is a great teacher for a 75-yr-old beginner. Always encouraging, she knows just how much to push or nudge. A few minutes’ practice every day makes for progress, and, when the lesson comes around, Anna can tell immediately what details of stance, breath, bowing, or fingering need attention. Her teaching is informed by a serious grounding in body work, and she adds to every lesson a bit of stretch or other pleasant therapies. “Progress, not perfection,” she had me write on a slip of paper to keep in my violin case. How thoughtful is that!”

“Anna is a wonderful teacher who brings a love of music and a calm, patient energy to every session. She cares about technique and getting your child off on the right foot. My son always looked forward to his lessons and learned so much from her in a short time.”

We are so lucky to have found such an incredible violin teacher for Ruby! Ruby asked for a violin for her 2nd birthday. It seemed too early. When she asked again for her 3rd birthday, we obliged. 4 is a bit young to start lessons but when I met Anna (who is an incredibly talented violinist), we agreed to give it a try. Anna really connects with Ruby. They focus on basic rhythms and form. There is a real reverence in the lessons. I don’t know how Anna does it, but she has become Ruby’s musical Miyagi! If you are looking for a violin teacher, Anna is incredible.”

“I had tried a few different violin teachers for my 4 year old when we finally met Anna Kennedy. She is just the teacher I was looking for, warm and patient and my daughter loves her. Anna is methodical in her teaching and emphasizes correct technique and her lessons are fun and playful. I’m so happy with my daughters progress, and I can’t recommend Anna enough.”

“My daughter loves taking lessons with Anna! I really appreciate how gentle she is while still magically bestowing the importance of good form, rhythm and focus. Anna has a seasoned sense of discipline that is balanced with an appreciation for the individual child and an ability to make the lesson feel fun! Fun focus, sincere learning, sweet gentleness, appreciation for the art of violin and music... all the amazing things (and likely more) your child will find in a lesson with Anna. She is clearly an accomplished, trained violinist with the knowledge, skills, patience, and understanding to work with children. We were very lucky to find her!”

“Anna’s lessons go beyond learning the violin. Every lesson is an exercise in technique, endurance, self-awareness, and self-care. As someone who loathed music lessons in my youth and can be very impatient, I now look forward to every class with Anna, who is patient yet efficient with our time. I also have minor scoliosis so Anna guides me through effective stretches during every lesson. I‘m so glad I decided to take up lessons thanks to Anna’s expertise and consideration.”

Anna is an ace, a clear seasoned professional - patient, supportive and warm, yet rigorous. She’s made sure I’ve got the form down before I move on to the rest. I’m lucky to have found her.”
