Guitar lessons for anyone who wants to learn it, or who wants to learn even more.
Together we look at how you can best develop.
My basis is classical, and I would like to give you that, you can go in many directions afterwards. Have you found something to play yourself? Then I'll help you play that right! You can learn to read notes with me, but that is not mandatory. I can also help you sing, and also give general music lessons, for example as a tutor. Don't you understand that scale or chords?
Are you looking for information from a specific time? I'll help you with that.
I also do songs with children.
Extra information
If you wish, I will then send you teaching materials specially tailored to you.

About Me
When I was about eight years old I started playing the guitar. Thanks to my first teacher I got to know all kinds of music. I also started playing in bands with friends, some of which I still play today.
For a while I have performed quite a lot in different bands, and have built up a repertoire for the classical guitar (solo, duo and in groups).
When teaching I use different methods to see what suits a student.
Sometimes a student plays something, and I think we didn't do that last week, did we?
Then they have found something themselves (eg Nirvana is still popular!) And let me know. I always like that. Be sure to look for things yourself, buy a book, or search for something on the internet, play with the school band.
Education
After years of private lessons, I went to the preparatory course of the Conservatory (Amsterdam, Sweelinck). After that I also studied classical guitar for three years.
Experience / Qualifications
I have been teaching for more than thirty years, both private and group lessons.
I have often replaced teachers at music schools, eg when they were ill or had performances.

My name is Teis. I am a Danish guitarist trained in Jazz music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and USC Thornton School of Music (Los Angeles). I have played since age 7, studied since age 13, and played professionally since age 18.

I work professionally as a band leader, composer, and side person.

After around 25 years of experience on the guitar, I can confidently say that I am equipped to share the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years.

In all honesty: I have never found myself to be particularly "talented". But I am a hard worker. I truly believe that talent is not something you are born with, but something you can develop and grow.

Together we will explore secrets and tips for a healthy guitar routine. We will improve your technique and ear training abilities with direct and fun exercises.

Whether you are just a beginner or an intermediate/advanced guitarist, we can explore the instrument and all its possibilities.

Practicing and playing with a teacher in a one-on-one situation is the most effective way to get better faster, and I advise it to all the guitar and music lovers out there.

In my guitar course, we start from where you are at and set a goal fitting to what you want to achieve. For example, our focus could be a.o.:

Fingerpicking
Soloing
Accompanying yourself
Songwriting

Two ways to go about it;

Single lesson: We go from where you are at the moment, and I help you move forward.

5 or 10 lesson bundle: I will make a detailed plan for you and we will conclude the lessons with a performance of some sort. I will help you elevate and broaden your skill set, in your preferred style, but also ear training and theory. We will build a sustainable practice routine together, and you will get access to a library of practice play-alongs and manuals, that you can use to build a solid platform as a musician!

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Do you want to bring your bass playing to the next level?
Do you feel like you are stuck with your playing and cannot come up with groovy bass lines?
Or maybe you just started and would like to learn this instrument in a more efficient way?

Look no further, your solution is right here!

My name is Tine, I am a graduate from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in electric bass and I believe I am the teacher for you!

Any kind of problems you might be facing picking up the bass - I have had them and struggled with them and most importantly, I overcame them.
On my journey of becoming a better bass player and musician I realized that everyone is learning in a different way, so I adjust my teachings to each individual student.

I will help you bring out your strengths and improve your weaknesses.

Guitar is one of the most beautiful instruments available for many people! An essential instrument in a band and an instrument with which you can do everything: sensitive songs, a sultry tango or rock hard! In my lesson I learn the basic chords, I explain how a guitar works and I help with learning songs, so that before you know it you can grab your guitar and play a song!

Dear music lover,

My name is Eric and I have been giving guitar lessons in Amsterdam for many years now! I do this on both acoustic and electric guitar. And in various genres: from pop to rock, from blues to funk.

The starting point during my lessons is the music that my students like to play. So no boring scales with me, but songs that you choose yourself.
In addition, I work on a broad basic technique that is necessary to master the guitar in the right way. Experience has shown that many students can play quite a few songs themselves within a few months. Age and/or experience doesn't matter, my youngest student is 7 years old and the oldest almost 70.

If you are interested in taking a lesson (or several of course :-) or if you have any questions you would like to ask, you can always send me a message and I will contact you. I like to hear from you!

Regards, Eric

I am studying Bachelor Pop Guitar at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I can help you in different matters, such as performance, ear training or music theory. All the aspects will be link together in order to learn effectively!

In my guitar lessons, we will develop your skills in the instrument to get a better and more personal tone, and feel more confident when improvising or playing in different styles. We will get there by learning songs, scales, chords, different techniques and putting all of them together.

I can also help you in songwriting, which I personally think that is a beautiful way to learn and apply the things we learn.

I can teach online or in student's location in Amsterdam or in Almere.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if there is any questions :)

The Bass guitar lessons are given at all levels from beginners to advanced / professionals. You learn how to play the instrument, with the right attitude and the right technical and theoretical underpinning of everything you want to learn. A somewhat broader music theoretical knowledge can also be taught. Customization is provided to the student's wishes.

The music theory lessons provide insight into how western music theory functions and how it is applied in practice. Exercises are also done to develop the hearing and music theoretical exercises are done on the basis of either piano, guitar or bass guitar. The aim is to understand what the theory behind music is and why it functions that way.

The Guitar (or Piano) lessons are only given at beginners level. The basic skills of the instrument are taught and an insight is also given into simple music theoretical issues with which the student can benefit from these acquired insights until a much more advanced stage and make faster progress on his/her instrument.

My name is Jim, I am a singer and musician. I won "The Voice of Holland"(RTL) in 2019, in 2021 I graduated from the Amsterdam Conservatory and in 2022 I won "Better than Ever"(RTL)

I completed my conservatory training in Jazz Singing at the CvA, but I have worked in many other genres in recent years. I also studied guitar at the Conservatory and obtained my propaedeutic diploma there, after which I switched to singing at the Conservatory. .

In class we focus on what you want. I can teach you everything about singing, guitar, but also about music theory, song-writing, and playing other instruments such as bass guitar, piano and drums.
I teach everyone, from beginners to people who want to prepare for the entrance exam to the Conservatory.
You choose the genre! I have experience in almost all genres so we can focus on the music you like.


I have 12 years of experience in performing and have performed with the Metropool Orchestra, played at festivals such as Concert at Sea and performed in hundreds of theaters and stages across the country. I also have experience with recording albums and songwriting.

I teach in my studio where all the instruments are present and where we can also record things as practice.
Depending on your location, I also teach at home.

From 2024 I will start teaching, something I have always enjoyed but have never been able to do full-time. The process of learning has always intrigued me and I have a lot of desire and energy to embark on this adventure.

Maybe see you soon,

Jim

My lessons are all about discovering, developing and most of all having fun with music. Whether you play guitar or bass—beginner or advanced—I will help you find your own sound and take your playing to the next level.

We work on technique, timing, hearing, improvisation and expression, but always in a way that suits your musical interests. Do you want to get better at groove, learn to solo, write your own songs or record your tracks in Logic Pro X? It's all possible. I tailor the lesson to your goals and give you practical tools that you can apply immediately.

As an active musician (in three bands), producer and graduate of the Conservatory of Amsterdam, I will take you into the world of music practice—from rehearsal space to studio and stage.

My classes are informal, personal and motivating. You don't have to be perfect—as long as you are curious and eager to learn, we will make great strides together.
