Are you preparing for entrance exams and want not just to pass — but to feel confident and fully prepared? Professional preparation is not mechanical drilling. It is structured thinking, deep understanding, artistic maturity, and inner confidence.

I combine academic precision with a strategic, supportive, and result-oriented approach. Each student receives an individual preparation plan based on: - the specific requirements of your chosen institution - your current level - your strengths and growth areas - realistic timelines and goals Preparation may include: - Music Theory & Harmony - Ear Training & Solfeggio - Polyphony & Musical Analysis - Composition & Improvisation - Instrumental repertoire (piano/organ/harpsichord) - Mock exams and structured feedback Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and research-based understanding of musical cognition, I help students: - understand complex material clearly and logically - structure of written and verbal answers - strengthen analytical and creative thinking - build technical security without tension - develop performance confidence under pressure Entrance exams are not only about knowledge. They are about readiness: intellectual, technical, and psychological. Send me a message, and we will design your strategic path toward successful admission.

Denys - São Paulo, BrazilC$106
C$106Beginner Piano, Keyboard and Melodica lessons, with confidence
My lessons are designed for beginners who are ready for a different kind of learning experience. You do not need talent. You do not need prior experience. You only need the willingness to begin. I teach through my approach, The Confident Key (TCK) — a confidence-based learning experience created to help students develop real musical ability in a clear, natural, and emotionally safe way. This approach is built on a simple principle: Confidence comes first. Technique follows. Lessons focus on: • Developing understanding instead of mechanical repetition • Playing meaningful music from the very beginning • Building confidence through structured and achievable steps • Removing fear, pressure, and unnecessary frustration • Creating consistent, sustainable progress During online lessons, students see and hear exactly what is being taught and played in real time, supported by a professional visual system that makes learning precise and clear. This allows students to progress with clarity, efficiency, and confidence. My students often include: • Adults who are finally giving themselves permission to learn • Professionals seeking a meaningful and creative balance in their lives • Individuals who had discouraging past learning experiences • Beginners who value depth, quality, and personal guidance This is not a mass-method. This is a personalized learning experience. The objective is not perfection. The objective is to help you feel confident, capable, and connected to music. You may be starting later than others. But you are starting in the right way. │ ▌▌│ ▌▌▌│ ▌▌│ ▌▌▌│ #MusicWithPurpose #SDG Denys Creator of The Confident Key (TCK) Confidence-Based Music Learning

Have you wanted to learn to play the piano for some time or do you want to teach your child to play the piano? My name is Faye, I've been playing the piano since the age of 6 years and have always been very passionate about music. I offer lessons for children and adults from beginners to intermediate level. Styles: Pop, world, improv, and classical music. Lessons are a good musical basis for any style you wish to pursue. My method tries to tailor to the needs of the student so that lessons are engaging structured and follow the natural curiosity and capabilities of the students.

Music making is something to be enjoyed and experienced besides the practice that goes into perfecting the art of piano playing. The content of the lessons always aims to reflect this mindset so that a student can become independently fluent and capable not just to imitate and practice but to really experience, understand, feel and enjoy the music throughout their learning experience.

Dancan - KenyaC$99
C$99Saxophone Foundations: From First Notes to Full Songs. A comprehensive start covering proper reed setup, embouchure, and essential fingering
Unlock the full potential of your instrument in this dynamic bridge course designed for rising saxophonists. Whether you’ve just mastered your first scales or are looking to break through a technical plateau, this class provides the essential tools to transition from a student to a confident performer. We begin by refining the fundamentals of tone. Using professional insights from the BetterSax Foundation Guide, we’ll deep-dive into embouchure stability, breath support, and vibrant sound production to ensure every note speaks with clarity and authority. You’ll move beyond simple fingerings to master fluid transitions across "the break," allowing you to navigate the saxophone's full range with ease. The curriculum then shifts toward musical expression and literacy. You will explore the vocabulary of improvisation through blues scales and pentatonic patterns, learning how to "speak" through your horn rather than just reading off a page. We also prioritize rhythmic precision and ensemble blending, teaching you how to lock in with a rhythm section or harmonize within a sax section. By the end of this course, you won’t just be playing notes; you’ll be crafting melodies. Join a community of passionate players and gain the technical facility needed to tackle your favorite jazz standards, pop solos, or classical etudes with newfound confidence. Ready to find your voice? Let’s start blowing.

Alexandre - NetherlandsC$79
C$79Professional baroque violinist offering violin lessons for all ages and levels
I offer violin lessons for all ages and levels, in English or in French. I believe in the importance of flexibility, that my job as a teacher is not to be stuck in my ways or methods but to be open to what you as an individual are seeking. I'd happy to find out what that is. You could be a complete beginner who fell in love with the violin, or a good intermediate player who wishes to come back to the violin, or someone needing some help to prepare for an audition, or maybe you only want to play a specific type of music... In all cases, we could make it work. I am also convinced that the relationship one has with the violin should be built out of physical ease and love for music. We often hear that the violin is a very difficult instrument, and although that is true to some extent, it doesn't need to be. I truly believe in the importance of physical exploration with the instrument to find what works best for you. Finally, my specialization in early music (baroque and classical periods) gives me a unique approach on the classical repertoire, the evolution of musical style, and different technical insights. This background allowed me to dwell deeper in certain subtleties such as ornamentation, articulation, just intonation and sound production (I personally play on gut strings). I also offer music theory lessons. If you are more advanced and interested specifically in baroque violin lessons, that is of course also possible.

Le'Andra - Hartford, CT, United StatesC$114
C$114Fun Friendly Jazz Piano Lessons for your Musical Journey
Jazz piano is more than learning songs — it’s learning a musical language that gives you the freedom to express yourself, create, improvise, and truly understand how music works. In these lessons, students don’t just learn what to play. They learn how music functions, why chords move the way they do, and how to confidently create their own sound at the piano. Whether you are brand new to jazz or looking to deepen your musicianship, these lessons meet you where you are and guide you into a rich, creative, and empowering musical experience. Students learn the foundations of jazz harmony, how to read and interpret lead sheets, and how to build confident improvisation using scales, modes, and melodic ideas. They develop strong left-hand voicing and comping skills, learn to play jazz standards with musicality, and strengthen their ear so they can play without relying on sheet music. Along the way, they explore how jazz connects to gospel, blues, and contemporary styles, gaining tools to reharmonize songs and create their own arrangements. In lessons, students experience a supportive, personalized environment that encourages creativity and confidence at the piano. They begin to feel ownership of the instrument, discovering the joy of musical freedom rather than simply reading notes. With guidance from a professional jazz pianist and educator, they build skills they can use in performances, church, school, or personal playing while developing a deeper understanding of how music truly works

Singing Lessons (Individual) - Pop, Jazz, Soul, Blues, Rock (Amsterdam)
Stefano
rating star
rating green star
Not just a singing teacher, but by the way also the best vocal coach you can get hold of at this moment and in this area of the Netherlands (so take your chance...;-)). For about 3 years I had a serious problem with my vocal chords (incomplete closure) and a dislocated larynx. I started to be in contact with Stefano by chance asking him to show me some (singing) exercises additionally to my treatment at the ENT-department of Martini Ziekenhuis Groningen as well as an ongoing therapy at a professional trained speech therapist. To cut a long story short: Within a couple of lessons and dedicated exercises he succeeded in re-positioning my larynx and got rid of my incomplete vocal cords closure, meanwhile the medical specialists had decided that the only cure could possibly be an operation... As a ‘side-effect’ I am now able to sing and control my voice like I have never been able before and could never have imagined that this was possible to achieve by just some simple but individually chosen exercises and practice. Grazie!
