Hello!

Whether you don’t have a violin yet, are just starting out, or are already an advanced player, I warmly welcome you to my studio. During my seven years living in London, I taught around 30 students from kids to adult with warm care and dedication.

I grew up with the Suzuki books and find that they contain many wonderful gems. In principle, I would like to follow those textbooks. However, if you have other preferences or wishes, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Look forward to hearing from you! : )

Currently, I work as a freelance violinist, actively performing as a soloist, in chamber music and orchestras. I engage in a wide range of musical activities including contemporary music and collaborations with traditional Japanese instruments.

I came to the Netherlands two years ago to focus on my early music studies, and have just finished my second master in the Royal Conservatoire The Hague with Distinction. I would like to share my love towards music through violin learning, and hope you will enjoy our exploration together as much as I do!

“Before starting the violin lesson with Eriko, I wondered if my daughter lasted. However, thanks to Eriko’s kind and enthusiastic instruction, she has come to love the violin. Eriko taught her not only how to play the instrument, but the right posture for playing. Eriko gave us the opportunity to have a concert, which boosted my daughter's motivation. She admires Eriko's performance, and she is working hard with the goal of playing like Eriko oneday.” - Asako Mitarai
