Piano lessons. Engaging teaching for of all ages and levels!

From 75 C$ /h

I am a well-prepared teacher and someone fun to study with. I have about 8 years of experience teaching all levels. I graduated from the Chicago College of Performing Arts, Roosevelt University and I currently study a master's degree in classical piano at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

I live in Ijburg and I have a wonderful Bösendorfer Grand Piano!

During my lessons, you will learn to perform the music that you dream and aim to achieve.

Whether you want to become a musician or not, my main goal is that you will learn healthy practice habits and foster values such as patience and discipline. These lessons will help you to tap into your mind to unwind from any obstacle; any achievements that you can make during my piano lessons will help you to achieve things in other fields.

Extra information

Developing an effective and positive mindset will have an impact on your learning. I am a multi-award-winning concert pianist with a wide experience as a soloist performance.

My main goal is to foster music lovers and to help the students to keep discovering the capabilities and potential of their minds regarding their age.

I will do my best to find engaging music methods that suit the student best.

I teach in English and Spanish.

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.

I have a very positive approach to teaching and will try to generate a motivating environment, as I understand that learning piano can be frustrating for some! My goal is to help you enjoy Piano as well as see steady progress.

My name is Zuzanna, I'm a Polish singing teacher, piano teacher, and music therapist. I'm a graduate of the School of Jazz and Popular Music in Wroclaw (piano class) and the Academy of Music in Katowice - Jazz and Popular Music department in the signing class. I'm a graduate of Music Academy in Wroclaw, my major being Music Therapy.
Music is my passion. Usually, I play the piano and sing at the same time.

My main goals in singing lessons are to develop a passion for singing and to learn to use your voice healthily.
The singing classes include:
- Interpretation of the song
- Articulation and intonation exercises
- Breathing exercises
- Technical exercises (voice production)
- Improvisation
- Singing with accompaniment
If you play the instrument and sing we can also focus on how to combine it.

I offer Piano lessons depending on their skills and needs:
- To people of all ages
- For beginners and intermediate users
- Classical music/Jazz music/Pop music - learning chords and playing by ear
- Music theory (solfege, harmony, chord learning, ear training, etc.)

Children's music: The classes are aimed at general music. We can focus more on singing, piano, or music therapy - It depends on your needs.
The classes include musical games and exercises. Children can develop their singing, sense of rhythm, and auditory skills. We can make music together!

If you are interested, please feel free to contact me!

I’m a dedicated and experienced bassoon player, who loves teaching this instrument and sharing music with people. I consider music an essential part of our lives and our culture and, therefore, its learning is necessary so that we can enrich and develop fully as human beings.
The bassoon offers lots of remarkable and distinguished qualities, that you can only achieve by learning this particular instrument, with a very characteristic sound.

Hello! I'm Nina, a drummer from Amsterdam.
I am currently studying Drums at the Amsterdam Conservatory (Pop Department).
I play in multiple bands and various session projects, including 45ACIDBABIES and Anna Joan + more.
I work a lot with Hybrid Drums (SPD and triggers) and also teach Ableton.
I love many different music styles, so you've come to the right place for any genre!

The studio is located in the Q-Factory in Amsterdam with two professional drum kits and sound system.
If all this is too far or for some other reason not reachable, lessons at home and / or online are also possible!

We can work on, among other things:
- Hand technique (how do I hold my sticks? Or which stick technique do I use for different music styles?)
- Creativity (how can I eventually make cool drum parts myself? Or parts other than the ones you would initially come up with?)
- Improvisation (lots of playing and trying!)
- Timing, playing along with songs (with click tracks), how can I become more playful with the click?
- Relaxed posture
- Drum notation (learning to read drum notes)
- New fills, grooves and beats
- Sound (how do I tune my drums? which drum sound do I want for different types of music?)
- Hybrid drums (working with samples on the SPD and/or triggers) in combination with Ableton.

And of course we will play along to your favorite songs a lot!
I especially hope that I can create lessons together with you that match what you like and what you would like to learn. All levels and ages are welcome!

Hi there! Have you always wanted to learn the flute or do you feel like picking up this beautiful instrument again after a break?

As a teacher with more than 6 years of experience, I offer private lessons for all ages and all levels.
I learned my teaching skills from famous flute teachers of our time. I have experience teaching both children and adults and I think it is essential that we both have fun while learning something as wonderful as playing music! Lessons are adapted to your needs and we will develop your musicality and technical skills together. In addition to Classical music, we can also work on other music styles if necessary. For example, I am familiar with Brazilian folk music, Baroque music, Modern Music and Jazz.
It is also possible to request academic support with the instrument, music theory or history.

Lessons can be given in English and Dutch. If you don't have an instrument of your own yet, I can give some suggestions on where and how to find/rent one - don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Lessons are tailored to each student depending on their age, level and interests. I teach piano and basic guitar, combining classical training with music theory, composing and pop music, so there’s always a mix rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

For younger students who are learning to read music, I also introduce basic composing. Writing their own simple pieces makes the notes more meaningful and keeps them engaged.

Before booking, please check the schedule to confirm availability and read through the listing details before confirming your first lesson.

Piano lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced players.

The lessons are designed to meet your personal musical interests and goals. Whether you're drawn to the structure and beauty of classical music or the improvisational freedom of jazz, I can guide you through both worlds.

In classical lessons, we’ll focus on developing strong technique, understanding music theory, and exploring works from famous composers. If you’re more interested in jazz, I’ll introduce you to improvisation, chord progressions, and learning to express your own musical voice.
My approach is flexible and based on where you are as a musician. I believe in creating a supportive, relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your creativity and growing at your own pace.

Lessons are focused on not just playing the piano, but understanding and enjoying the music you play. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your skills, I’ll help you develop both your technique, phrasing, expressiveness. and your musical ear.

Hello! My name is Jade. I’m an undergraduate student and have been playing the piano for 15 years; I graduated from the Geneva Conservatory.

In my lessons, I focus on practice and improving technique. Although I have prepared lessons and pieces, I give my students a great deal of freedom in choosing their sheet music, the intensity of their lessons, and the type of instruction they need. I see the piano as a passion and, above all, an art form which, as such, shouldn’t become a source of stress or frustration. We’ll make progress through small successes and can explore a variety of genres, from classical music to songs, pop, and even film scores.

My priorities are for students to learn the notes and develop the ability to read sheet music easily, as well as rhythm and interpretation.
We can complement this approach with training in musical ear and singing, as well as the basics of music analysis.

I’d be happy to welcome you to my studio in De Pijp or can come to your home.

I look forward to meeting you!

Whether you are a complete beginner, an experienced pianist, or somewhere in between, I would be happy to help you discover and develop your musical potential!

I am a professional classical pianist. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Classical Piano at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and have recently started my Master’s degree in Classical Piano at the same conservatory.
In my lessons, we can work on piano technique, musical expression, interpretation, repertoire, sight-reading and performance skills. I teach both classical and pop piano, and I adapt each lesson to the student’s individual goals, level and interests. You can bring your favourite classical pieces or pop songs, and we can work on learning and interpreting them together:)

Whether you want to prepare for an exam or audition, improve your technique, learn your favourite songs, or simply play piano for pleasure, we will create a personalised approach together.

Every student's musical journey is different, and your lessons should be too.

With more than 5 years of experience teaching piano to students of all levels (from complete beginners to advancing conservatory-track students and retired adults rediscovering music) lessons are built around your goals, pace and interests. Whether you're picking up the piano for the first time, preparing for conservatory entrance exams, or returning to the instrument after years away, each student finds a plan tailored to where they are and where they want to go.

The first lesson is about getting to know each other: understanding your current level, your goals, and what excites you musically, so a clear and realistic plan can be built from day one. From there, practice is kept structured and achievable; with concrete, doable goals between lessons, as well as different tools and materials provided along the way. Lessons can take place at my home or, if preferred, at your own address.

As a teacher, I try to stay flexible to what my students want to explore: I find pupils are often passionate about all kinds of genres, and while my own training is classical, I'm just as happy helping a student work on jazz standards and improvisation if that's what excites them, alongside more traditional repertoire.

Learning to play the piano is challenging - but also a lot of fun! I make sure that my students learn quickly, in order to achieve their goals and play their favorite pieces. In my bachelor and master studies, I specialized in Jazz and improvised music but I also have experience with teaching and playing classical repertoire and all in between. Depending on your goals and your favorite musical genres, I will make a personalized teaching plan that focuses on the music you actually want to play and the exercises that you need to get there.

I like to have a structured approach to my lessons, while also adapting them to each student’s level and interests.

Some of the subjects we can cover include:

• Building a repertoire: Blues, Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, R&B & Soul
• Guitar technique
• Music theory: Chords & Scales
• Rhythm and rhythmic studies
• Guitar accompaniment and comping techniques
• Improvisation and guitar solos
• Sight reading
• Ear training
• Songwriting and composition
• Guitar recording and basic home recording techniques

For beginners, we can start with the basics and gradually build a strong foundation\. If you already play guitar, we can focus on developing your technique, expanding your repertoire, or working on specific areas you’d like to improve.

The lessons are practical and focused on actually making music, so we can always use songs and music that you enjoy as part of the process.
