FLUTE/SAXOPHONE. Jazz/technique/improvisation lessons.

From 66 C$ /h

This class includes absolutely everything what the student is interested in terms of jazz and improvised music since the openness of Markus and thanks to the previous experience from CVA in terms of teaching and playing jazz in the Amsterdam Scene.

Markus follows a more open-environment learning atmosphere whilst keeping the traditional teaching methods in mind. Technique exercises and information about the improvised music are the 2 pillars of the lesson. Also, its good to mention that the lessons are not what you'd expect from a traditional lesson. We rarely use paper in the lesson and the most important aspect is not the eyes but the ears. Since improvisation doesn't use paper, why would we use it in the lesson?

Extra information

Lap-top, Phone, Personal Flute(organizable from the teacher). Also the times of the lessons are very flexible but fixed lessons are also welcome.

About Me

Teaching is such an important aspect in the world and since the beginning of time, Music has been the most important collective activity since the beginning of time. And in that Spirit, I try to continue the lineage of the collective improvisation in my music.
Thus, I have developed a different teaching method, the one where I use paper as little as possible and develop ear-training to the maximum. Personally, I have recieved so much good feedback and positive energy for myself that this job is what I really adore.

Education

Markus started playing flute when he was 7. Seeing the potential, when Markus finished music school at the age of 12. He was invited for entrance exams in Tallinn Music High school, an elite classical school in Estonia a. After finishing the high school there, Markus started playing jazz at the age of 16.
Now, Markus has finished his education in one of the best if not the best instiutions for studying jazz and improvised music.

About the Lesson:

Are you a music enthusiast that wants to start learning how to play? Are you an already good player but you want to further develop your skills?

I will guide and help you to achieve this goal by providing the following classes:

- Contrabass (Jazz and Classical and any other style)
- Bass Guitar (Any modern style)

All these classes can be taught seperately. Nevertheless, during our instrumental lesson we will cover a portion of the material of all the modules.

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Hello!!! I’m a saxophone teacher offering ONLINE and FACE-TO-FACE lessons in SAXOPHONE, MUSIC THEORY and HARMONY.

I’ve been teaching ever since I began my higher education in Murcia, whether privately, at music schools or at conservatoires in Andalusia. As a result, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a wide variety of people, which has made me reflect and realise that THERE IS NO ONE WHO ISN’T SUITABLE FOR MUSIC, because musicality is an intrinsic quality of human beings. They simply haven’t found the way to improve – the approach that works for them: the right methodology. So, every student has a different learning pace and different needs, but a common goal: TO ENJOY LEARNING, which is different from LEARNING WHILES ENJOYING IT.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t read music, if you live far away (you can learn from scratch online), or if you’re a bit older; what matters is the desire to have fun. As a teacher, but also as a former pupil, I focus on fostering MOTIVATION. You learn faster without even realising it. That’s why I always try to focus on each pupil, their interests, their goals, and whether there’s a particular song they’d like to play...

I also provide extra tuition in Music Theory for entrance exams to professional music courses and teach Harmony at all levels.

Easy as 1,2,3.
With me you will learn the basics, play along with your favorite music and build your own grooves.
Preferably in my studio, but it can also be at yours.

I have been behind the kit for 18 years in different styles (rock, jazz, reggae, afrobeat).

If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message :)

Hey there! Do you already play the piano and you want to improve your skills with a creative approach to the instrument? Then I think I can help you!
I can teach you basic and advanced concepts of any style on the piano (classical, jazz, pop-rock...), and if you like improvisation and jazz then we get along even better!
I offer very personalized classes based on your level and interests. My approach to teaching strongly takes the student's creativity into account, but without forgetting that a good knowledge of music theory and piano technique are essential. I firmly believe that a teacher must do everything possible to avoid suppressing the student’s personal voice. Each of us — regardless of age or skill level — has a unique approach to music, even before touching the instrument! My goal is to help students discover their own musical identity at the piano, drawing on my experience and offering a solid theoretical foundation tailored to their interests and level.
That said, as in any discipline, there are no shortcuts in music. Passion and dedication are essential to achieving meaningful results. Furthermore, a solid technical and theoretical foundation is indispensable, no matter your musical interests. I look forward to sharing my deep passion for music with you. Feel free to reach out for more information!

Hey there!

My name is Dominic, and I'll be providing you with everything you need to reach your musical goals, whichever those may be.

These lessons consist of piano tutoring, in which we can go over any style you may be interested in. I'll also be providing any sheet music and exercises you may need or I may think are necessary.

I'm currently a piano and music theory teacher at AMT, which is an institution near my hometown. I've got a full 8 year music course (mostly focused on classical piano), which I successfully completed in 2025. I've also got a year of music teaching experience on my shoulders, as well as plenty of experience helping younglings and less experienced musicians with any difficulties they may have had over the years.

I'm currently offering online lessons and lessons at your location, as I'm going to be moving soon. Once things have settled better, other options may open up.
