Does it happen to you too?

You're listening to the music and... You Just Can't Take your Focus Off the lower tones, the foundation of the song, The Bass.

Let me tell you something: if you do that it means that...

You're already Learning!

Whether you're listening to pop, rock, r'n'b, jazz, blues, you name it, the Bass is always there to work as the foundation on which the Band can build on.

I can guide your curiosity through the discovery of the various bass techniques, we can work together using the music of the artists you love to walk our way in the realm of the Low Tones.

Didn't you always want to meet up with those friends of yours and play those songs you all love?

That amazing bass riff from Muse, that lovely song from Coldplay or super cool funky Bruno Mars.

Or maybe you dream of the warm cuddly sound of the double bass, playing with the bow and feel the vibration of the Wood. Playing some Jazz, along with Miles Davis or Wayne Shorter.

With almost 20 years of experience in the low tones world I can guide you in the study of electric bass and double bass.
I'm an active performer and touring musician, as well as a master graduated Bass player. (Conservatorium van Amsterdam)

We will work together to find what best suites you.

Through the music that you love we'll find the right path to discover the world of the Bass.

P.S.: (For fearless only) I will teach also the secret art of: “Riding a bike while carrying your bass without getting killed”.

Hi, I'm Philip!
I'm a professional Bass player and teacher based in Amsterdam.
I have studied with some of the best teachers in Europe as well as famous bassists from the New York Jazz Scene. Besides my studies I have been actively performing, recording and teaching since age 16, which led me to play at different festivals and venues such as North Sea Jazz, JazzOpen Stuttgart, Bimhuis, DeDoelen Rotterdam.
I'm calm and easy going and I want to pass on the knowledge I got from my teachers as well as my own experience. I always focus on getting you ready or better at playing in a band, since that's what we do as bass players! I'm experienced in and open to a wide variety of styles, my specialization being Jazz.

Hello

I'm a professional bass player living in Amsterdam. I have a passion for teaching and passing on some of the knowledge that I have acquired during my studies at several schools and heard from the musicians I look up to. I've done my bachelor degree at The Royal Academy of Music in Denmark, and I finished my Masters at Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2024.

I teach double bass, electric bass and composition.

Musically I try to be as open as I can. For me it doesn't matter if it's free jazz, traditional jazz, pop or metal as long as it feels good.

I'm a leader of my own group where we combine jazz and indie rock. we will release our debut album this fall.

I'm also a sideman in several groups.

As for composition I have experience with composing for regular jazz groups, big band, string quartet and irregular constellations such as my band with three guitars and three horns.

Some thoughts about teaching:

I believe that the most important thing when teaching is having a good relation to one another and generally just having a good time. If we don't enjoy the process we don't learn.
You should feel comfortable saying how you feel and what you want to learn/don't want to learn. With that transparency I will be able to customize the teaching and balance the curriculum so that I meet your needs while pushing you into unknown territory.

If you're reading this I'm happy that you took your time to read through it all, and hopefully we'll get to meet and talk about music!

I teach cello to students of all ages and levels: from complete beginners to those preparing for conservatory auditions. My goal is to build your technique and musicality together, step by step, so that you're always challenged but never overwhelmed.

A typical lesson works on a mix of technique (posture, bow control, tone production), repertoire suited to your level and taste, and — if you want it — music theory and sight-reading. I'll set clear short-term goals with you each lesson and check in regularly on your progress, so you always know what you're working toward and why.

I have experience teaching students with dyslexia and ADHD, and I adjust my pacing and explanations so lessons stay clear and comfortable rather than stressful. If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry — I've taught people who've never held a cello before, and we start exactly where you are.

A bit about my background: I hold a Master of Music from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where I studied under Ella van Poucke, and I graduated cum laude from the Conservatory and University of Thessaloniki. With my quartet, I won First Prize and the Young Jury Prize at the Storioni Festival Competition 2026, and I've performed at venues including Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, and Muziekgebouw Eindhoven.

Lessons can be in English, Dutch, German, or Greek, in Amsterdam or online. Get in touch and tell me a bit about your goals — I'll tailor our first lesson around them.

If you’re interested, feel free to contact me with any questions.

Have you always wanted to impress your friends and family by playing the guitar for them? You've come to the right place!

I propose that we learn your favorite pieces together over a few weeks and help you feel confident with the instrument. Whatever your level, I will be there to support you with kindness in your personal development.

Being both a self-taught guitarist and a conservatory graduate, I will be able to adapt to you so that you feel most comfortable in your learning process.

Having extensive experience with students, particularly in conservatories, they are all very happy with my teaching methods!

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.

I teach piano to kids and adults. My goal is to teach you how to connect with the instrument, learn the notes and create your own style of playing. I teach the classical way but that does not limit our repertoire; we will focus on whatever songs/pieces you prefer and want to learn. Music is one of the most important arts and it is my goal to make you love it even more!

Guitar lessons with Elias (In person, Virtual or Hybrid) are tailored to your goals, experiences and musical interests. Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to the guitar, or are looking to develop your skills further, lessons are designed to be practical, enjoyable, and encouraging.

We can develop your technique, sight reading, chords/harmony, scales, repertoire, improvisation, ear training, music theory and performance skills.

I welcome students who want to develop serious ability and freedom on the instrument as well as students interested primarily in learning their favorite songs. Each lesson is adapted to your level and pace, with clear guidance and achievable goals to help you build confidence and make steady progress. My aim is to help you become a more confident, creative, and independent guitarist while, most importantly, enjoying the process of learning.

Hi there ! If you are looking for a versatile teacher, that can help you learn or improve on the oboe, or on its baroque cousin, you are at the right place.

The lessons will focus on your own need, according to your level. Beginners to very advanced players are welcome! From your basic technique to learning your favorite piece, with the guidance of musical theory along the way, you will find a friendly space to develop your knowledge, and most important, connect and have fun on the oboe :)

I can also help you with the reeds ; by showing you the general technique as well as all my little secrets... ;)

I am also specialised in the historically informed practice field, and I would be more than happy to share this part of my education with you.

Rather than a fixed curriculum, I build a custom syllabus for each student based on their needs, goals, and current level. In designing lessons, I draw on my own experience both as a self-taught musician and as an academically trained one — combining structured, conservatory-level methods with the flexibility that comes from having found my own way into this field first.

Lessons are shaped in pace and format to what actually works for the student in front of me — whether that means working note-by-note through an audition piece, or building broader theoretical fluency over a longer stretch of time.

Discover the Joy of Playing the Saxophone!

Welcome! Whether you are picking up the saxophone for the very first time, returning to the instrument after a break, or looking to refine your technique, my lessons are tailored to suit your personal goals and learning pace.

Music should be fun and fulfilling. I believe in creating a supportive, relaxed, and inspiring space where you can learn at your own pace without pressure.

What we can work on together:

For Beginners: Getting started with proper breathing, producing a beautiful sound, reading music, and playing your favorite melodies from day one!

For Intermediate Players: Improving tone quality, finger technique, rhythm, and exploring classical or contemporary music pieces.

For Advanced Students / Audition Prep: Fine-tuning musical expressiveness, advanced techniques, competition prep, or conservatory entrance exams.

About Me:
I am a professional classical saxophonist with extensive performance and teaching experience in the Netherlands and Taiwan. I love working with students of all ages and levels—from children to adults.

Let's make music together! Feel free to reach out with any questions before booking your first lesson.
