Jessy - Amsterdam, NetherlandsC$114
C$114Guitar, music theory and ear training lessons with a professional session guitarist
Hi there, I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12 and was immediately hooked. Within a year I started playing in youth bands and projects, and during high school I moved to a music school where I began performing with bands and teaching guitar to kids as my first job. I later completed two bachelor’s degrees, the second in jazz guitar, at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Since then I’ve been working full time as a session guitarist, songwriter, and musical director with artists like Karsu, Alain Clark, Ruth Jacott, Jennie Lena, and many others, as well as releasing my own music as an independent artist under my stage name Jessy Hay. I’m extremely passionate about music theory, ear training, and music history, and I try to combine all of these with practical approaches to create a complete package for guitar enthusiasts. Over the years I’ve developed many methods and seen hundreds of students grow from being stuck on the instrument to becoming full-on improvisers and composers across many genres. I love to combine the theory and improvisation I’ve learned from jazz, together with the groove and rhythm from funk and soul, the attitude from rock, and the production and songwriting skills from pop music. I’m also very interested in Middle Eastern music, for students who want to explore other scales, Maqams, and musical languages. Lessons usually start by discussing the student’s goals and current level, followed by exercises and pieces tailored to their needs. I also provide guidance on instrument setup, tone, and technique, to ensure a solid foundation. My aim is to give students a full 360° view of music: understanding the language, knowing what you’re doing, and developing your own ways of improving by becoming more familiar with both the instrument and the musical language itself. If this sounds like something for you, I would love to hear from you.

My lessons are focused on building a solid foundation in jazz guitar while helping each student develop their own musical identity. We work step by step, combining theory, technique, ear training, and practical playing. 🎵 Harmony Chord types, voicings, inversions, and voice leading. Understanding chord changes, different approaches to comping, and modal harmony. 🎸 Technique Developing clean, relaxed, and efficient technique essential for jazz guitar. 🎶 Improvisation Learning scales, arpeggios, intervals, and complete fretboard knowledge to improvise with confidence on any progression. 📚 Jazz Repertoire Building a strong jazz repertoire through essential jazz standards and preparing effectively for jam sessions. 🗣 Jazz Language Exploring bebop vocabulary, straight-ahead phrasing, and modern concepts to develop an authentic and personal sound. ⏱ Rhythm Understanding swing feel, rhythmic variations, time feel, and comping patterns. 🎧 Jazz Styles Studying different jazz contexts: swing, bossa nova, Latin, modal, and modern approaches. 🗂 Practice Routine Organizing a clear, effective, and personalized practice routine tailored to your goals. My goal is to provide not just information, but a structured method that helps you progress consistently, understand the music deeply, and enjoy the process of becoming a better jazz guitarist.

Saxophone lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians (Brussels)
Emidio
rating star
rating green star
Emidio is a fantastic saxophone teacher. He provides you with the feedback you need to learn many things at the same time: He gives you tips for a good embouchure and shows you how to blow a proper tone. He teaches you how to play in tune and introduces you to tone articulation on the saxophone, when you are ready for it. He guides your own practice efficiently, so you can be certain to not loose time. In addition, you learn to read notes and a lot about music in general. Emidio is a kind, patient, supportive and encouraging saxophone teacher, who is ready to reply to whatever question you throw at him. Emidio communicates well and is clear. His classes are fun, inspiring and intense. I will continue my musical journey with Emidio.I highly recommend Emidio as a saxophone teacher. With Emidio, you can be certain that you learn to play the saxophone in the best possible way.

Alex is the best guitar teacher ever for me! Not only he knows exactly how to guide a student according to his level ,he has so many different approaches for each individual students, I don’t have a lot of time to practice as a busy mom with a 3 year old kid, but some how he found a method really adapted my rhythm and make me grow every lesson I have without practicing at all;but also he is a very kind teacher, every time I feel like I’m having a lesson with an old friend:)) would highly recommend Alex to anyone who would like to take a guitar lesson from all levels!
