About the club:

Calligraphy is a visual artform practiced in almost every culture. Famous examples include religious writings

in Arabic, East Asian poetry in characters, palm leaf books in India and Mayan hieroglyphs.

Calligraphy can be defined as ‘’the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skilful

manner’’. In Dutch fun club we will focus on the western style of calligraphy, and factors such as the

rhythm and regularity of letters. We also briefly discuss and if possible practice techniques used in other

cultures. During one of the classes we will make our own ink using ancient methods.

All students are welcome to the calligraphy club, and even students which normally have poor handwriting

are able to learn the basics of calligraphy. The club should however not be seen as a way to remedy poor

handwriting

About the teacher

Bart is a year 6 teacher and practices calligraphy as a

hobby.

children in Reception and year 1. They will also have the opportunity to develop their own

props for their performances, making the whole activity personally relevant and extremely

good fun!

Piano, Music Theory and Jazz Singing

Anamaria Stamp

Romanian born pianist, Anamaria finished her Master’s studies In Holland. She began

teaching piano at Arnhem International School in 2012.

Currently, she has a busy performing and teaching schedule in Amsterdam and Arnhem, and

is engaged in European and international projects in Romania, Switzerland, Ireland and

Dumitriu.

From the year 2017 Anamaria started preparing her pupils for the ABRSM BRITISH EXAM with

a successful first try and will continue offer and prepare students for these music exams.

“The methodology for teaching students I use is mostly based on technical exercises, classical

pieces and theory games as well as improvisation exercises, imagination games and different

genres like jazz, boogie-woogie and musicals. Through the improvisation and imagination

exercises a child not only feels more close and comfortable with the instrument they are

playing but also develops much quickly with regard to musical thinking, and an open and

brave approach to the instrument.”

Percussion (drums) and Bagpipes

Maarten Vugs

Maarten, a Dutch native and former German language teacher, began playing percussion at

the age of 6 in a small town near Tilburg here in the Netherlands. In addition to here at Rivers,

he teaches at a music school in Kaatsheuvel where he also conducts the percussion

ensemble. He continues to perform with symphony orchestras.

Maarten is a talented bagpipe player and is currently the music director for the “Dutch Pipes

and Drums” organisation which performs throughout the year in Europe and abroad.

“I love to work with children as their enthusiasm inspire me a great deal. I love to share my

knowledge in teaching them how to play percussion. It is wonderful to see how children play

music together which will, I believe, result in a better understanding of others and knowing

how function in a team. Therefore, I am happy to teach children individually or in small

groups. It is my ambitions to create groups with many different instruments.

In my opinion music is a key element in the development of children. The effect of playing a

musical instrument or singing are often underestimated. Music unites people

Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass guitar

Jascha Wonerow

Guitar/Bass lessons for children of any age, contact me for more information and/or a free

trial lesson

Recently graduated guitarist Jascha Wonerow finished his Bachelor’s degree at the ArtEZ

Jazz&Pop department here in Arnhem. Starting at the age of twelve, Jascha soon found out

that playing guitar was more than just a hobby. In his journey of making it his profession he

was taught by several well-known guitarists such as Frank Sichmann, Onno Kelk and Henk

van Benthem. Along the way he started teaching guitar and bass at a music school in Bocholt,

Germany and since late 2015 he also gives lessons at the AIS. Furthermore, Jascha is

involved in several bands (check YXC on spotify) and projects where he not only plays, but is

also involved in the promotion and management.

"I believe that the most important goal in any teaching practice is to inspire students and

show them the joy of music. Without it, any technical or theoretical progress is meaningless

as music is a very personal subject. For this reason, I focus my lessons on what the children

want while simultaneously looking for ways to incorporate technique and theory in a fun and

easy way. Depending on the level of the student we will also work on songs chosen by the

students themselves."
