Tanja graduated from the Conservatory for Teaching Musician and is also a Performing Musician (Soloist) in Classical Piano.

Piano lessons for beginners and advanced students of all ages
- All ages between 5 years and 80 years
- Classic and all the styles you like
- Theory lesson
- Possibility to participate in National Piano Degree Examinations

The piano lessons are given at my home in Alphen aan den Rijn, given on a Yamaha grand piano to children and adults ranging in age from 5 to 82 years. I have been doing this with great pleasure for years!
In addition to learning good piano technique, I also pay a lot of attention to developing musicality. Many people appear to be able to play more musically than they thought possible!
You do not need to know the notation in advance, you can easily learn this during the piano lessons, so in a playful manner. During the lessons I teach you how to best study, which will make your progress 3x faster.

The piano lessons are adapted to the level and ambition of the students. My goal in general is to get as much out of it as possible in the shortest possible time. Naturally, it is individually adapted to each student's wishes and abilities. All this in a relaxed, positive atmosphere with humor.
You can join at any level, from absolute beginner to very advanced. Preparation for the entrance exam to the Conservatory is also possible.

For beginners I use Piano Lesson Methods to create a good foundation. In addition and afterwards, we do everything you like and I always give appropriate advice.

For some students it can be an extra motivation and incentive to set goals within a certain time period. During the lessons we can then discuss an action plan and work towards this goal.
This can also be done officially through national Piano Exams.
These are organized by EPTA (European Piano Teachers Organisation).
Because of my membership it is possible for students to participate!

My membership with Epta Nederland (European Piano Teachers Association) keeps me up-to-date with all developments in the field of piano lessons.

Hope to see you again!

Do you like singing? Or do you walk around with songs in your head all day? Then take singing lessons with Deborah online or in Amstelveen Westwijk. We sing songs from different countries and times. We will also work on different rhythms, notes and tone exercises.

If you are busy singing you can even have a completely different feeling and you can ensure that you have extra energy for the rest of the day.

Your body is your instrument when singing. We try to make that instrument sound as beautiful as possible..

During the singing lessons we also work on articulation, the pronunciation of foreign languages and also on the meaning of and your feelings about a particular piece. Of course we decide together what kind of music you will sing. We will also make a journey of discovery together to your favorite music.


WHO CAN LEARN TO SING?
Anyone can learn to sing. That will be because of the singing lessons. Also singing is good for relaxation, both of body and mind. Singing is simply fun!

Hi there! My name is Norica. I am a pianist and a piano teacher from Tokyo.

Just quickly to the point: My approach is holistic and systematic. It uses lots of fun exercises and nice educational materials from Japan in addition to the Internationally recognized standard books. (Don't worry, you don't have to understand Japanese!) You learn not only how to play piano but also how music works- music theory.

I know what my students are good at and not so good at right off the bat. That's why I can tailor the lesson plans to their goals and needs.

Also, if you like to take an ABRSM exam, the syllables will be tailored accordingly. So what will be tested on the day of the exam is integrated into the lessons and my class/lesson offers all-round preparation for the exam. I have helped my students pass G1, 3, 5 and 6 with a good score.

Another important aspect of my lesson is to focus on improving cognitive skills - increasing memory, right-hand-left-hand-coordination, sustained attention, nonverbal communication, and a feeling of independence and freedom.

I do so with unique materials from Japan and fun training.

Currently students from 4 to 76 years old are taking my lessons. As an educator, I am committed to the process of learning while making lessons enjoyable and constructive.

Please drop me a line if you're interested. If you have any questions about the lesson, feel free to ask.

I will be happy to answer all your questions!

Thank you

I hope to share the joy of playing the double bass and the piano through teaching. It is so pleasant to make music and I wish to let more people know about it.
The classes are very flexible. You can expect leisure music playing but also intensive trainings. Lessons will be designed according to students’ intentions. I am able to teach in Cantonese, Mandarin and English. Feel free to reach out :)

I have been playing the double bass for more than 10 years and have recently obtained my master degree in double bass from Royal Conservatory of The Hague.
I started playing the piano when I was 10. On top of classical, I also play a lot of Christian and pop music on the piano, which I am also happy to teach.

Whether you are a music enthusiast who would love to play your favourite songs on the piano, an experienced musician looking to take the next step into your expressiveness and confidence when playing, or a student who needs to learn or reinforce music theory, you are in the right place!

I'm Irene Martínez, a pianist and recent graduate of the Master of Music program at Codarts University of the Arts, and I would love for you to be my next student. I have previous experience teaching piano at different levels to people of many ages (children, teenagers, and adults), because I'm passionate about sharing my love of music and I believe that, with the right approach, everyone can be capable of expressing themselves through music.

As a pianist, I have performed solo concerts of classical music, and also being part of ensembles, from chamber music to contemporary and other genres. I adapt my lessons and approach to the student's particular needs, so:

- If you are already a pianist with some experience who wants to develop certain technical aspects and delve much deeper into musical expression...
- If you are a beginner, or someone who wants to pick up playing again after a long time...
- If you are interested in learning music theory in a much more efficient and fun way, relating everything you learn to your favourite music...
- Either you want to prepare an entrance exam to pursue music in a professional way; or you want to keep it as a hobby...

...my lessons are definitely for you!

I speak fluent Spanish, English, and French; so if you want to have lessons in one of these languages, don't hesitate to contact me! :)

Istanbul Lute (Lavta) & Oud Lessons – Greek & Ottoman Music

Hi! My name is Kyriakos, I'm 29 years old and I'm a musician and teacher. I studied at Codarts University of the Arts and my main focus is on Greek traditional music and Classical Ottoman music.

I offer lessons in Instanbul lute (Lavta) and oud, for all levels — from complete beginners to more advanced players.

During the lessons, we can work on things like:
Maqam Theory
repertoire from both Greek and Turkish traditions
Technique and playing
Improvisation
Music theory
Reading and understanding sheet music

My teaching approach:
I try to adapt the lessons to each student. Everyone learns in a different way, so I try to find an approach that feels natural and enjoyable for you, rather than simply following the same method with everyone.

I'm a patient and positive person, and I want the lessons to be a relaxed space where you can learn, ask questions and enjoy playing music.

Lessons can take place at my place or at your home, depending on what works best for you.

Whether you are just starting out, already play an instrument, or simply want to explore Greek or Ottoman music, feel free to send me a message. I'd be happy to hear what you are looking for and see how I can help.

Moreover, if you are interested in this repertoire and you play another istryment, I can also teach the style and the specific ornamentation of it.


Everyone is welcome, including complete beginners!

Piano classes at home. The objective of my class is to have fun while you play and learn how to play piano. I have been playing piano over 10 years in a conservatory (classic music) but also playing my own songs (moderns, pop).

One advantage is that if wanted, the classes can be reached in English, French or Spanish.

Learning and playing string instruments can be incredibly fun and fulfilling, but it is not an easy process, and it requires discipline, structure and proper guidance. I offer an experience tailored to each student's specific needs and learning style, and I focus in depth on a variety of topics that I consider to be fundamental to achieving a high level of performance and interpretation on violin and viola; such as basic music theory, music history, a well-rounded and versatile technique, and collaborative music-making.
My lessons are suitable for beginners and advanced students of all ages. I rely on a variety of teaching materials; some that are intended for children, others that are made for adult learners, pedagogues and performers.
I consider myself to be a rather involved teacher; I am attentive, I am available for resolving issues and clarifying doubts outside of lesson time, I help students with instrument procurement and maintenance, and my homework and instructions are clear and easy to follow.
