Category:

A guide for Classical trained violinists to discover all about improvisation, in many different styles, different approaches.

Violin-level requirement: Good knowledge of the 1st position.

What wll you learn?

✅ Listening
A complete new way of listening.
You will be able to anticipate on what you hear, what your band members are playing and play the best fills.
Improvising
Obviously, but how?
You will learn different approaches to creating your improvisation, with knowledge of chord progressions, with chord stacks, scales...
No worries, it will be easier than you think!
Theory
To know what you are doing you need to learn the theory.
Theory is best learnt the "hands-on" way.
This is exactly how we get you to understand the theory with ease: in practice.
Styles
Some want to play the blues or rock music, others just gypsy swing, and some want to dive into country-bluegrass.
It's all there, don't just stick to one style.

The best thing of all is: You do NOT have te be experienced in improvisation to follow this complete course.
In fact, most students didn't have any experience at all when they started.
It is especially for them that I wrote this course.

Xander has been my teacher for many years now. He is the best. I have been playing for decades and play in an orchestra..... and I am still learning in the best possible way. Xander keeps me inspired and enjoy my violin.

Xander speelt geen viool, hij zingt ze... én hij leert jou hetzelfde doen, met hart en ziel. Xander is meer dan een vioolleraar... Hij geeft je zin in muziek. Ik ben als volwassene begonnen met vioolspelen via de Suzuki-methode, met weinig notenleerkennis, en toch sleurt hij je erdoor. Hij doet je de muziek voelen en ademen, en leert je tegelijk de technische kneepjes van het vak. In elke muziekstijl is hij thuis en technisch sterk onderlegd. Zijn online methode (video’s en boek) is zo opgebouwd dat je ook als autodidact kan groeien, met heerlijk speelbare liedjes om je techniek stap voor stap op te bouwen.

Ik volg zelf wekelijks 1 op 1 viool les bij Xander Nichting. Xander is een viool leraar vol passie en met pakken ervaring. Zijn cursus heeft een goede structuur en stapsgewijze aanpak. Hij heeft een sterk observatievermogen en inspirerende houding. Ik zie een muzikale duizendpoot: hij kan muziek schrijven, arrangeren, spelen, dirigeren, in beeld brengen, ... En hij is een fijne kerel ook trouwens.

This is the third year my daughter has been learning violin with Mr. Nichting, and we truly feel so lucky to have him as her teacher. He has a wonderfully untraditional and unique teaching style — children start playing songs right from the beginning, so the fun starts immediately. The videos on his website are excellent tools for practice at home. They help reinforce what the students learn in class and make it easy for parents to follow along too. What we appreciate most is how Mr. Nichting brings out the creativity in young children. He encourages them to play freestyle and express themselves through music, which keeps them engaged and inspired. And just when you think the lessons might be too relaxed, he also ensures there’s good structure and discipline — especially when students forget to practice! He’s also very involved in organizing orchestras and group performances for his students. My daughter is still a bit too young to join, but it looks like a wonderful and fun experience for when she’s ready. We are very grateful for his guidance and the joy he brings to learning violin. Highly recommended!

I was fortunate to have a 1 on 1 session with Xander. He was very patient and encouraging. Since that master class, I've been inspired to advance my skillset and discover various techniques that would be ideal for the stage. As I write this review, I'm literally typing with one hand and holding my violin with the other, because I'm too excited to take a break from practicing. The improvisation course is certainly one that many violinists can benefit from, whether you're a total beginner, or seasonal player, and it definitely helps to break the stereotype that violin players can only perform classical music.

Ik heb een super leuke en leerzame 1 op 1 les gehad met Xander. Hij legt echt super duidelijk uit en wil je echt helpen. Ook is hij erg geïnteresseerd in je verhaal.

Ik (46 jaar) ben pas begonnen met viool. Ik twijfelde of de online improvisatiecursus iets voor mij was en of ik het het waard zou vinden. Maar ik heb het toch gedaan, en geen spijt! De videos zijn heel toegankelijk en het grote voordeel is dat je het kan blijven herhalen totdat je onder de knie hebt en dan weer door naar de volgende les. Op je eigen tempo dus. Ik had pas een vraag, ik vond de 'meespeelmuziek' te snel en vroeg of er een langzamere versie toegevoegd kon worden. Xander reageerde direct en heeft het toegevoegd waardoor ik het nu beter kan oefenen, heel fijn! Verder goede uitleg, ook over theoretische kant zoals opbouw akkoorden etc, interessant. Ik ben er dus erg blij mee!

Xander Nichting is a good teacher to learn from. He knows his craft and is very positive. I think all violinists could learn this freedom from him.
