Currently I am studying Classical Clarinet in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
I like to teach and share my passion of music amongst others. I can teach classical, pop and jazz music-whatever you find most suitable. For me the most important, is for you to come out of the lessons feeling inspired and enriched by music. If you are an absolute beginner, do not worry, we can find the best starting point for you.

Hello,

My name is Jaime and I am a Spanish clarinet player, composer, and teacher.
With over years of experience playing the clarinet and having immersed myself in teaching for the last few years,
I am currently completing my professional studies in clarinet and composition at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam
with professors Arno Piters (Royal Concertgebouw Orkest) and Hans Colbert (Residentie Orkest Den Haag).

I see teaching not only as a way to pass on my (still growing) knowledge but also as a way to learn along with my students in a cheerful and inspiring way.
During our classes, we will learn the basics of clarinet playing, as well as how to use these basics to build your own way of playing and learn simple songs, intermediate pieces, or world-class concertos!

If clarinet is not your thing but you want to learn music theory I can also help you with personalized classes to suit your needs.
Maybe you want to learn basic notation reading or solfege, or perhaps you want to audition for a renowned institution as the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
Whatever your need is I will find a way to articulate a plan we can follow so you can achieve success on your musical adventures.

Aside from lessons on the students' place of residence, online lessons via skype or zoom can also be scheduled at a reduced price.

I hope this helps you understand how I work and the way I could help you, but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me!

Kind regards,
Jaime

As a music teacher, my greatest desire is to work with people of all ages, to guide them with different methods according to the way everyone perceives music, and to integrate music into their lives.

In this lesson; In addition to clarinet, piano and voice education, we will also understand music theory and a little bit of musical harmony.

I am Marco, a clarinetist living in Amsterdam. . I had my first clarinet lesson in my city's marching band and since then I have found my passion. I am open to all genres of music, not just classical music, and I enjoy trying and experimenting with other instruments besides clarinet. I am very passionate about my job and I like to pass on my passion to my students. I mainly play chamber music with various ensembles in the Netherlands and abroad, sometimes I play with orchestras and as a soloist.

I started teaching clarinet many years ago. I give music lessons to students of all ages (from children who are 10 years old to women/men who are 70 years old) from beginner, intermediate and advanced level. I think teachers, as musicians, should be versatile. Tell me your favorite piece of music and I'll help you play it. I am available for trial lessons and I have available instruments for the lessons.

Hi,
I'm Alex. I'm a classical clarinet player from Greece, currently living in the Netherlands. I studied classical clarinet performance at the University of Macedonia, Greece and at The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I offer Clarinet lessons for all ages and levels, piano and music theory lessons mainly for beginners. I especially enjoy working with kids, as I have experience both in teaching and caring for children. I take a holistic approach in my teachings (viewing the student as a whole) and tending to the individual's different needs. Through my music lessons I hope to cultivate essential skills such as coordination, concentration, cooperation, communication and active listening, with fun and play. I'm committed to personal growth and lifelong learning, values that I wish to convey to my students, together with qualities such as self-trust, patience and curiosity, very important for navigating their own musical journey and discovering their own unique musical voice.

Clarinet is a beautiful, lyrical instrument suitable for almost all genres of music. During this class we will learn about scales, technique, pieces of your liking, play duets, and practice music theory. I also focus a lot on body relaxation and air flow.

As a dedicated clarinetist with a passion for teaching, I am excited to share my expertise and help students achieve their musical aspirations. I am currently continuing my advanced studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory under the mentorship of Professors Arno Piters and Olivier Patey, where I am deepening my understanding of both technical mastery and artistic interpretation.

My experience includes serving as principal clarinetist with the Kharkiv Academic Symphony Orchestra and the National Ukrainian Symphony Orchestra (NUSO). These roles have given me extensive performance experience in both orchestral and solo settings, which I incorporate into my teaching to provide students with a well-rounded musical education.

What I Offer as a Teacher:

Customized Lessons: I tailor each lesson to the student's level and goals, focusing on technique, musical expression, and performance readiness.
Real-World Performance Insights: With experience in prestigious orchestras and international competitions, I offer valuable insights into the demands and nuances of professional performance.
Supportive Mentorship: Inspired by my mentors, including Arno Piters, Olivier Patey, and Nuno Pinto, I strive to provide a supportive and encouraging environment for my students.

Whether you are a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or an advanced player aiming to refine your skills, I am committed to helping you reach your full potential. Join me for engaging and inspiring clarinet lessons that will take your playing to the next level.

Learn, Create, and Perform with Poppie-Joy

(SOON : LESSONS IN DUTCH)

With a background melting classical and contemporary clarinet performance, to theatrical movement, masks, and storytelling, I bring a fresh approach to music education. My experience includes leading creative workshops for children through the Philharmonie de Paris and developing artistic projects for young audiences.

In my classes, we explore sound as character, rhythm as movement, and performance as story.
For me, the body is the key to learning : I guide students to develop their body awareness as part of learning, an approach often missing from traditional lessons.

We will explore:

Clarinet technique
Musical interpretation
Improvisation and creativity exercises
Stage presence, movement, and breathing
Connecting music to visual or theatrical elements
Bonus (if possible and committed!) :programming small performances for families, social gatherings, or cultural events

My teaching philosophy: Music is not only notes on a page, it’s a living art that connects body, breath, and imagination. I meet each student where they are, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and authentic expression.

Open to all ages and levels, from beginners discovering their first notes to advanced players seeking to deepen their artistry.
