Experiencing the joy of music-making can be one of the most rewarding things in life!

If you want to learn to play the piano, or to improve your piano playing, I can help you develop your technique and musicality. I am a piano coach at the conservatoire in Zwolle, and I am able to apply those skills to teaching amateur musicians as well.

After discussing your goals, I'll see what's the best way to guide you there - and then we'll get to work together! My goal is that you're inspired and enjoy exploring the piano.

I offer individual lessons of half an hour or an hour and I can teach at your house or online.

Hello everyone,

I'm Paulina and I’ve been teaching music privately for the past 5 years, working with beginners of all ages - from curious kids to motivated adults. My lessons cover piano, music theory, and solfeggio, always adapted to each student’s interests and goals.

I studied music theory and criticism at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, where I also earned my music teacher qualification. What really defines my teaching style is a practical, down-to-earth approach - I explain things in a simple, clear way so music actually makes sense and feels enjoyable from the start.

For children, learning happens through games, creativity, and playful activities. Lessons don’t feel like traditional studying — they feel like a fun, educational experience where kids learn naturally while staying engaged and motivated 🎹✨

And if you’ve never played the piano before — that’s absolutely fine! You don’t need any prior experience. We’ll start from the very beginning and build your skills step by step, in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where learning music is something to look forward to.

I'd love to get in touch!

I have years of experience teaching children of all ages, and I love tailoring my approach for each student to encourage them to find the joy in music-making, and providing that extra challenge to help them to the next level. I'm very relaxed, and I teach right through from complete beginners to an advanced level. Whether you are looking to advance your technique or just get to the point where you can play your favourite tunes, I can help!
I'm a native English speaker, and music lessons are a great way to develop your language skills at the same time.
I hold a MusB (Hons) degree from the University of Manchester, and I currently study at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

You'll learn how to use the voice in the proper way, starting from your natural speech and developing it to find your own sound. I have experience in both Pop and Jazz styles (a Bachelor in Jazz Singing and a degree in Jazz Composition), so it's possible to study songs from both these repertoires. I also give Music Theory lessons, to make the student develop his/her own style and musical sensibility and, in the case of Jazz, to know how to improvise on different chord changes and jazz styles.

Would you like to learn the transverse flute with a new method?
This class is inspired to the Abreu method, the musical version of the Montessori teaching approach.

During the last 2 years, I have applied the Abreu method to countless scholars, with ages ranging from 8 to 70.
Results have been amazing and I really hope you can be the next!

Here's what makes it special:
- A playful approach! While learning the rules and the discipline behind music, we will boost your progress with a lot of fun. Thanks to the Abreu approach, we can master your solfeggio and play classical tracks at the same time.
- Teaching materials suitable for scholars of every level. Through many years of experience, I have collected an extremely wide range of sheets and exercises.
- During the first lesson, we schedule our work in mini-courses. This way you know exactly how much you will pay and in return for what.
- Everyone has potential and I am here to let you express it.

I’m a professional guitarist, composer, and producer with over 30 years of experience in recording, performing, and restoring vintage instruments. My lessons are built around real-world playing — not endless scales, but practical music that builds confidence, creativity, and great tone.

Whether you’re a beginner just picking up the guitar or an experienced player looking to refine your sound, I’ll help you understand not only what to play but why it sounds good.

We’ll cover:

Building solid rhythm and expressive phrasing

Understanding tone, pedals, and gear setup

Classic rock, blues, and modern techniques

Playing with feel and intention

Optional lessons on recording and home setup

Lessons are relaxed, friendly, and tailored to your pace. I teach both in person (Amsterdam) and online, and every student gets a personalized plan that fits their goals — whether that’s playing your favorite songs, improving tone, or developing your own sound.

If you’ve ever wanted lessons from someone who’s been there, both on stage and in the studio, this is for you.

Jade
Hello! My name is Jade. I’m an undergraduate student and have been playing the piano for 15 years; I graduated from the Geneva Conservatory.

In my lessons, I focus on practice and improving technique. Although I have prepared lessons and pieces, I give my students a great deal of freedom in choosing their sheet music, the intensity of their lessons, and the type of instruction they need. I see the piano as a passion and, above all, an art form which, as such, shouldn’t become a source of stress or frustration. We’ll make progress through small successes and can explore a variety of genres, from classical music to songs, pop, and even film scores.

My priorities are for students to learn the notes and develop the ability to read sheet music easily, as well as rhythm and interpretation.
We can complement this approach with training in musical ear and singing, as well as the basics of music analysis.

I’d be happy to welcome you to my studio in De Pijp or can come to your home.

I look forward to meeting you!
