About Me
I'm extremely passionate in music technology and addicted to researching new approaches to tackle music production in this ever-changing digital reality.
I started playing drums as a hobby during high school, but I very soon realized that my career would be in audio industry.I started self-teaching music theory and different instruments like bass and piano, but I've always been into computers and tech, which brought me into the study path to become a sound engineer.
I finished a Diploma course in Rome and then obtained my bachelor in Audio Technology & Music Business at the SAE Institute in Amsterdam.
Since graduation I've always worked as a live & studio mixing engineer, sound designer and live performer, unless I was traveling which I did quite a bit.
I started teaching remotely and face-to-face during my long trips in different countries like Italy, France, Netherlands and Australia as a side hustle, ended up loving it while learning so much from it.
A couple of years ago I started selling my own tracks to music licensing websites with great results,which allowed me to refine my production and mixing skills and define my current mindset of a remote and digital approach to content creation.It also allowed me to make a living out of freelancing from home.
Education
Bachelor of Applied Science at Middlesex University
Bachelor in Audio Technology & Music Business at SAE Institute
Diploma in Sound Engineering at CIAC Music School
Experience / Qualifications
After graduation I worked in many fields in the audio industry such as:
-Front of house engineer in European tours for bands like "B.U.C" and festival like "Emergenza"
-Assistant front of house in festival like "Lowlands"
-Recording & Mixing engineer for bands like "Ivan Water's Band" and "Lukewarm Ocean"
-Sold hundreds of royalty-free tracks, which have been used in documentaries,ads, and youtube videos of many kinds
- Currently working as Audion Engineer for broadcast giant

From my studio at the Berlagebrug, I give Piano lessons to beginners and (semi) advanced students. The lessons take place on a Yamaha wing and when a piece is well under control, we can make a professional recording of it.

I graduated in 1992 as a musician from the Hilversum Conservatory (nowadays Conservatory of Amsterdam) in the direction of light music, or jazz and pop. So with me, you learn not only to read notes but also chord schemes and - if you want - improvisation. Or we search together for a song that you would like to play and make a nice adaptation of it. Together we first look at exactly what you want to learn and align the curriculum.

I can also help you learn how to compose and produce. I work with Pro Tools and Logic Pro X.

For classical Piano lessons, I would rather refer you to someone else.

Hallo! (Lessons in English)
Wilt u muziek uitgelegd?
Ik produceer Hiphop en elektronische muziek !
Beats, Instrumentals, Liedjes, Geluiden, Jingles : alles wat ik wil.
Ik ben altijd erg gepassioneerd geweest door geluiden en tot Ik 10 was, probeer ik het lekkerste muziek te creëren.
Ik heb onafhankelijk muzikale onderwijs maar heel technisch.


I wish you feel to
Be Ambitious to succeed
Be Imaginative to push the boundaries
Be Inspirational
Be Results-focused to exceed expectations and create structure

[LESSONS ARE GONNA BE IN ENGLISH]

The kind of lessons that I will host are very different and not mainly implemented on the theoretical part of the music production but on the practical one. I will explain you every step that I will take during my production process.
I will produce beats using my techniques and methods during the lessons and I'll try to transplant in you the beauty of immagine, composing, editing, mix and producing your own ideas, IN YOUR OWN NATURAL WAY.

As long as I'm not an academic teacher what I'm offering is close contact with my students to inspire, correct when is really needed and create together what is really close to our soul.
The most important goal during our path? To work and discover your strong points and avoid the bad ones trying to understand them, understand your root.

I will follow you like I follow the artist that I produce.
First rule: HAVING FUN, BECAUSE MUSIC IS FUN!
The feeling that you have when your music is there and is playing for you and for the others will be amazing. I promise you.

My name is Ben (26), and I'm a certified drum teacher with about 15 years of experience behind the kit. Previously I have studied jazz drums at Kunstuniversitat of Graz. Currently I'm teaching at multiple institutions in Amsterdam such as: Lucky Beat Music Club, United Pop, British School of Amsterdam.

My classes take place on my boathouse at Weesperzijde, however if you wish I can also come to your place. I can guarantee you that after your first lesson you already will be able to play a simple rock beat!

I can teach you the following:
- Groove
- Speed & Stamina
- Technique
- Music Theory
- Music Production (Beat making) in Ableton
- Controlling dynamics
- DJing
- Body Percussion
- Reading music
- Composition
And much more...

When it comes to teaching, creative lessons and positive energy are my pillars. I do approach every student differently, making sure I am able to show them what is possible on the instrument. I certainly believe that everyone is capable of learning to play the very basics after a short period of time. I do think that since drumming goes back all the way to the primal ages, we all have the drummer inside us, it just hasn't awakened yet. I want to be that person who will awake the drummer inside of who is wanting to learn. I feel fortunate that I'm able to do what I've studied and get to live my passion. There is nothing better than to see a student improve, develop and see when they finally start to "get it".

If you already know the basics, I can teach you mixing and production techniques, how to work with voice, and how to tailor this knowledge to your podcast. Furthermore, you can dive into creative sound design, develop your own unique style, and turn your podcast into a piece of art.

Music is Play! and everyone is its own game.
Understand and make only the music you like. If it isn't fun, it can't be music!

I studied a classical piano bachelor, and later a jazz master and a live electronics master. In the meantime, I have been teaching music and playing synths, drum machines, and computers. It's longer than 5 years now!
Electronic music is a very vast world. The possibilities are endless. But do you need to learn everything, or only what interests you to make the music you want to do? From listening and analyzing a song you like, we will go through the necessary knowledge for you to achieve it:
- What do you need to build your home studio in order to create something similar?
- Which instruments (or plugins) are being used.
- Whether or not a knowledge of music theory is necessary.
- And in which different ways / through which paths could you achieve something like what you desire?

At the same time that we analyze and learn, you are also going to be encouraged to create! Practice makes the master, and the more you create, the more familiar you'll be with the tools and the environments that we learn in class. A part of the class is also going to be dedicated to listening to what you created and going through different ways we may improve it.

For people interested in live electronics (live-processing an acoustic instrument or programming live sets), I also have knowledge of Max MSP and I can teach the basics or help you program any kind of device you propose.

PD: I have also experienced imparting piano lessons, which is also a very important part of my professional practice. In case you are interested, it is also possible to mix the two worlds and create any kind of path between piano, synths, beats, and home studio techniques.

Ask me anything, I'll tell you how I could help!

Hi, my name is Jim. I'm an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the Fontys Academy of Arts (Rockacademie) in Tilburg, Netherlands. Music has always been my way of exploring the world — through raw field recordings, synthesis, and emotional storytelling. Over the past 12 years, I’ve developed a complete, self-sufficient creative process: from concept to composition, sound design to vocal production, mixing, mastering, and live performance. I’m passionate about helping others gain those same end-to-end technical skills — so they can bring their own musical vision fully to life.

As Malvae, I’ve written, sung, recorded, produced, mixed, mastered, and performed all of my work. My music reached #17 in the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA, gathered millions of streams, and featured in international film productions including King of the Streets and Netflix’s Terrace House Japan. One of the most formative moments in my career was my Amazonas album project, where I traveled into the Amazon rainforest to record and manipulate natural sounds. 90% of that album was created entirely from these field recordings, reshaped through granular synthesis and advanced sound design into a cohesive sonic journey. That experience deeply shaped how I approach my music and how I teach sound design and composition.

I’ve headlined shows at iconic venues like Melkweg Amsterdam with immersive, self-built audiovisual live sets using Ableton Live, modular gear, sequencers, and Resolume for live integrated visuals. I curated my own events and performed at venues like A’dam Tower, OT301. I also teach at studios such as Wisseloord in Hilversum, guiding students through the technical and creative intersections of sound and performance.

Selected Works & Collaborations:

My EP Like Bees to a Hive began as a soundscape for fashion brand Lobomar’s collection Final Orders, Please, presented at the Amsterdam World Museum. I collaborated with South African poet Julia-Beth Harris, integrating her spoken word into a seamless, atmospheric release. From sequential Prophet 6 textures to ADX1 drum machine layers and detailed field recordings, I handled every layer, from concept through multitrack production to the final live performance in London.

My Chrysalis EP, released as a limited-edition heavyweight red vinyl, pushed that even further, combining ethereal vocals, analog grit, and unique textures to craft an emotionally rich release. I personally led every part of the project’s technical and creative execution, from arrangement and vocal production to final mixing, mastering and vinyl press preparation.

In addition to my own projects, I’ve worked as a vocal producer and mixing engineer, including on Esther Veen’s EP Before I Go, where I handled recording, complex vocal layering, creative processing, production, multivocal arrangement and final mixing to deliver a polished, high-impact sound.

About the lessons:

My sessions are fully customised to your experience level, goals and grounded in real-world music production. Whether you’re just getting started or want to deepen your technical ability, you’ll learn how to develop professional workflows and the creative independence to finish what you start.

We can explore:

- Building advanced music production workflows and creative strategies
- Recording, Composition, arrangement, and storytelling through sound
- Full-stack mixing and mastering — from bedroom setups to pro-level delivery
- Synthesis and sampling — from sound shaping basics to high-level manipulation
- Multi vocal production, vocal recording, editing, layering, FX, and creative processing techniques
- Translating your music into a compelling live set with Ableton Live
- Applying music theory practically in electronic, cinematic, and contemporary music

Lessons are available online or in-person at my studio in Amsterdam. For online students, I use high-quality real-time tools that allow us to collaborate with full-resolution audio directly from your DAW — no screen sharing limitations, just real work in real time.

My own musical path often started by blending the sounds I encountered in the world, whether from distant rainforests or my own voice , into something personal and expressive.
I found my sound that way, and I’d love to help you find yours.

(And don’t worry — we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to do it. I’ll show you how to turn the sounds you already have into something truly your own.)

Whether you're just starting out or ready to go deeper, I look forward to helping you grow through structured, creative, and technically grounded electronic music education.

Record your song in various genres, ranging from ballads to pop tunes, from jazz standards to rock anthems. Whether you prefer a recording with backing tracks, a full band, or a live acoustic piano accompaniment provided by me, I will utilize my extensive decade-long experience to guide you through the recording process and ensure that your vision is fully realized.

With comprehensive assistance throughout the entire recording, whether your goal is to release your next single, expand your audience reach, or simply revel in the joy of creating, I will be there to support you. Together, we will refine the vocal structure, vocal arrangements, and instrumentation of your song.

*Please keep in mind that the cost includes essential elements such as setting up, recording, editing, and post-editing. However, for the specialized tasks of mixing and mastering, I will connect you with a skilled professional who can meet your specific needs.

In this class, we will be exploring music by learning your favorite songs from any genre you enjoy. I will personalize the lessons to your needs and make sure we cover all the fundamentals that will set you on the right track!

I will teach you how to:
- learn songs by ear, (pop, jazz r&b, funk, fusion, hip-hop, and whatever you like honestly)
- improvise,
- compose,
- understand music theory (harmony, rhythm, scales, progressions, sight-reading etc.)
- produce and sound design in any DAW

About me:

Education:
I started playing music at 7 years old, went through 12 years of music school, and then moved to Amsterdam and spent 4 years learning jazz guitar at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I frequently play with various bands ranging from Pop and Funk to Jazz Fusion and even Techno.

Teaching style:
I’m open-minded and straightforward, and I focus on giving my students the tools and basics they need to learn and explore on their own.

In these classes we can dive into harmony, melody, composing and recording into Logic Pro X or Ableton Live. We can create compositions using either traditional techniques or tools such as musescore or any DAW (digital audio workstation) to create our pieces.

Hey! My name is Daan and I am a keyboard player, producer and songwriter and I am happy to teach piano at your home in Amsterdam.

I graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam pop department and am also very active in bands (as a keyboardist, singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer) and as a producer/songwriter in various genres.

As a teacher, I am mainly concerned with what the student wants to achieve and what can be gotten out of the student. Do you want to learn that one new song by Billie Eilish, or an advanced piece by Stevie Wonder; I can always help you. The great thing about music is that you can learn and perform it at all kinds of levels. My job is to find the right level for the right student, so that progress can be made at the same time as there is fun during the lessons.

In addition, I find it important that my students not only play the piano, but also understand the music and build up a knowledge of the music theory behind the pieces. This has helped me a lot to quickly make big steps as a musician.

You can also contact me if you write songs yourself and maybe even produce them that you want to take to a higher level. I can give you all kinds of tips to get the best out of your own compositions through my experience as a songwriter/producer.

I hope to see you soon!

In this class, we use Ableton Live as a creative tool to explore music production, composition, and sound design. Whether you're a beginner or already producing, the lessons are tailored to your goals. whether that’s making beats, writing songs, or designing experimental soundscapes. You'll learn how to turn your musical ideas into finished tracks, while gaining practical knowledge of arrangement, audio effects, MIDI, sampling, and more. Theory is introduced in a simple, intuitive way to support your creativity, and improvisation is encouraged to help you find your own sound. My goal is to give you the tools—and the confidence—to create music that feels truly yours.

If you've ever wanted to record your own song, make a beat, create a musical demo, or bring a musical idea to life, you'll need some basic knowledge of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and how music recording works.
I can help you set up your home studio and guide you step-by-step through using Ableton Live or FL Studio.

If you don’t have a background in music theory, no worries — I’ll also introduce you to the basics of music theory and piano playing. This will give you the tools to create your own music from scratch, without needing to go to a studio — everything can be done right from your home.

During the lesson, we can create a beat or work on an idea you’d like to turn into reality.
My goal is to give you the tools that will help bring your musical ideas to life.

Whether you prefer a recording with backing tracks, a full band, or a live acoustic piano accompaniment provided by me, I will utilize my extensive decade-long experience to guide you through the recording process and ensure that your vision is fully realized.

With comprehensive assistance throughout the entire recording, whether your goal is to release your next single, expand your audience reach, or simply revel in the joy of creating, I will be there to support you. Together, we will refine the vocal structure, vocal arrangements, and instrumentation of your song.

*Please keep in mind that the cost includes essential elements such as setting up, recording, editing, and post-editing. However, for the specialized tasks of mixing and mastering, I will connect you with a skilled professional who can meet your specific needs.

- improvise,
- compose,
- understand music theory (harmony, rhythm, scales, progressions, sight-reading etc.)
- produce and sound design in any DAW

About me:

Teaching style:
I’m open-minded and straightforward, and I focus on giving my students the tools and basics they need to learn and explore on their own.

In these classes we can dive into harmony, melody, composing and recording into Logic Pro X or Ableton Live. We can create compositions using either traditional techniques or tools such as musescore or any DAW (digital audio workstation) to create our pieces.

Hey! My name is Daan and I am a keyboard player, producer and songwriter and I am happy to teach piano at your home in Amsterdam.

I graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam pop department and am also very active in bands (as a keyboardist, singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer) and as a producer/songwriter in various genres.

As a teacher, I am mainly concerned with what the student wants to achieve and what can be gotten out of the student. Do you want to learn that one new song by Billie Eilish, or an advanced piece by Stevie Wonder; I can always help you. The great thing about music is that you can learn and perform it at all kinds of levels. My job is to find the right level for the right student, so that progress can be made at the same time as there is fun during the lessons.

In addition, I find it important that my students not only play the piano, but also understand the music and build up a knowledge of the music theory behind the pieces. This has helped me a lot to quickly make big steps as a musician.

You can also contact me if you write songs yourself and maybe even produce them that you want to take to a higher level. I can give you all kinds of tips to get the best out of your own compositions through my experience as a songwriter/producer.

I hope to see you soon!

If you've ever wanted to record your own song, make a beat, create a musical demo, or bring a musical idea to life, you'll need some basic knowledge of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and how music recording works.
I can help you set up your home studio and guide you step-by-step through using Ableton Live or FL Studio.

If you don’t have a background in music theory, no worries — I’ll also introduce you to the basics of music theory and piano playing. This will give you the tools to create your own music from scratch, without needing to go to a studio — everything can be done right from your home.

During the lesson, we can create a beat or work on an idea you’d like to turn into reality.
My goal is to give you the tools that will help bring your musical ideas to life.
