About me:

My name is Olivér, I’m 22 years old, and I make music! I believe anyone can play, and if we practice well it can add playfulness to our lives. In my lessons, I strive for a friendly, human, yet disciplined atmosphere. Starting from the basics, through the technical part of playing, cold and warm chords, and all the way to gaining a deeper understanding of compositions, we can cover everything that will help you move forward on your musical journey!
I gained my knowledge from Tamás Józsa and at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, majoring in Jazz Bass Guitar.

- Bass guitar playing: Grooves, frettborad overview, left and right hand techniques, soloing
- Jazz, bossa nova, blues, pop, fusion, rock language
- Composing
- Music theory, chord, structure, rhythm and melody analysis from a pop and jazz perspective.

Hi! I have over 7 years of teaching experience from young kids to adults of all levels and I love it! My goal is for my students to find joy in playing an instrument and have fun during the lessons. I also aim to make every student come out of the lesson feeling motivated to carry on learning, and tailor the lessons to what they want to learn and how to achieve their goal.
I can also help students prepare for their piano exams and theory exams.

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.

Hey there! In my lessons, what you want is the most important. That's why we create together a plan of study with ideas, goals and subjects to reach out our dream to make music (that's also my dream)

Nevertheless, I can give you an overview of the content:

I divide the music theory in two: Technical and Musical.
Technical Theory regarding all the concepts and information related to music, and Musical Theory regarding the ideas and concepts to help us understand and improve the performance of music. Besides that, we look to harmony in a functional, rhythmical and organic way. We learn and approach music from the first lesson, looking at it from different angles (understanding rhythm and essence of a song for example). All this plus a nice diet of assignments and exercises: D

Furthermore, we put especial attention to enjoying music. That means playing but also listening music! For me, that's one of the best ways to learn :)

And of course, we learn as well by making mistakes, so at the end it's all about fun and trying things out;)

Remember: "True success isn't just getting what you want in life - it's liking what you get";)

Hi! My name is Eduardo, a professional musician and long-time music teacher. I am offering physical and online lessons in Music Theory, Improvisation and Instrument.
#Harmony #Composition #Solfège #Saxophone #Clarinet #Piano

Lessons are addressed to every student profile, regardless of age, level of expectations (no matter if it is seen as a hobby or rather if the individual is getting prepared for official Conservatory auditions, etc.).

We will play and/or focus on what the student is willing to deepen into (whatever music style they are interested in, more theoretical aspects or rather practical ones), trying to get the maximum profit of the employed time, and prioritising the actual learning of the person as the main factor for their motivation.

I obtained my Jazz Music Master's program at the Prince Claus Conservatoire of Groningen in June 2022.
Previously, in 2018, I graduated from my music Bachelor's at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona (Spain).

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”.

You’ve Always Wanted to Play the Accordion. Let’s Make It Happen.
For you or for your child, it can start with one free lesson.

Maybe you’ve loved the sound of the accordion for years but never believed you could play it yourself.
Maybe you already own one, but online videos have left you with more questions than answers.
Or maybe you’re looking for a patient teacher who will help your child enjoy music and feel proud of their progress.
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
You bring curiosity. I’ll bring guidance, encouragement, and a clear plan.

Hi, I’m Nikola Spasic, founder of Accordion Joy Academy, an ArtEZ Conservatory graduate, and a two-time winner of the Dutch National Accordion Competition.
I teach live, private online lessons that start with you, your experience, your musical taste, your pace, and the time you have available.
You don’t need to read music before starting. You don’t need to feel naturally talented. And you don’t need to have begun as a child.
We’ll build the skills together, one manageable step at a time.

Here’s how I’ll help you move forward.
Personal attention in every lesson. Ask questions, get feedback, and understand how to improve.
A clear practice plan. Know what to work on between lessons, with manageable goals that fit your routine.
Music you actually want to play. Classical, tango, folk, musette, movie themes, and more—adapted to your level.
Support you can revisit. Lesson recordings, demonstrations, and sheet music help you practise with confidence.
Patient guidance through the tricky parts. We’ll work on the bellows, bass buttons, and coordination without rushing.
Encouragement along the way. See your progress, celebrate small successes, and connect with fellow learners in my private accordion community.

For children, lessons make room for curiosity, repetition, and small achievements that build confidence. For adults, they offer a structured way to finally make music part of your life.
Your first simple song in 30 days, or your money back.
We’ll start with a song suited to your level and build towards playing it from beginning to end. If you don’t get there within 30 days, I’ll refund your money.
Your first step is a free one-on-one trial lesson, with no obligation to continue. We’ll talk about your goals, try some practical exercises, and discuss lesson options and prices.

Don’t have an accordion yet? Contact me first, and I’ll help you understand what to look for.
Send me a message saying, “I’d love to learn”, and tell me whether the lessons are for you or your child.
Let’s give that wish a place to start.

Looking for guitar lessons? You've come to the right place!

Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced player looking to take your skills to the next level, I've got you covered. My teaching approach is all about tailoring the lessons to your needs and interests, so you can learn at your own pace and enjoy the process.

In our lessons, we'll dive into the practical side of playing, covering techniques, chord progressions, rhythm patterns, and melodic improvisation. You'll get to jam along to awesome songs and exercises that will help you develop a solid foundation in jazz, rock, funk, and blues.

Whether you dream is performing on stage, jamming with friends or simply strumming your favorite tunes in your bedroom, I'll help you reach your goals and become the guitarist you want to be.
