🗓️ FLEXIBLE RUSHING FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR
My class schedule for the upcoming season is currently being finalized. Don't see your desired day or time immediately in the calendar? Feel free to contact me! In consultation, there are many possibilities regarding days and times (both during the day and in the evening).

During the lessons, a relaxed and natural posture and touch take center stage, as this is the foundation for a beautiful, full, and free sound. I pay close attention to varied touching technique, the use of the pedal, and expressive dynamic nuances. Furthermore, thanks to my musical upbringing, I am well-versed in the Kodály method, making the connection between singing and the inner ear with instrumental technique a very natural part of my teaching approach. Additionally, I enjoy teaching you how to accompany other instruments (such as voice or violin), so that you master the basics of chamber music and playing together. My goal is to help your musicality flourish in a patient and personal atmosphere – whether you are just starting out or wish to further deepen your technique. Feel free to contact me, and let's get started together!

It's good to have your own instrument.

Viool- en altvioollessen: Ontwikkel je techniek, muzikaliteit en expressie

83 C$ /h

BACK TO SCHOOL ACTIE! (Geldig t/m 30 september 2026)
Start het nieuwe schooljaar met muziek! Meld je aan vóór 30 september en ontvang 10% korting op je eerste lespakket van 5 of 10 lessen.

🗓️ FLEXIBELE ROESTERING VOOR HET NIEUWE SCHOOLJAAR
Mijn lesrooster voor het komende seizoen wordt op dit moment ingedeeld. Zie je jouw gewenste dag of tijdstip niet direct in de kalender staan? Neem gerust contact op! In overleg zijn er heel veel mogelijkheden qua dagen en tijden (zowel overdag als 's avonds).

Tijdens de lessen staat een ontspannen en natuurlijke houding centraal, want dat is de basis voor een mooie en vrije klank. Ik besteed veel aandacht aan een verfijnde streektechniek, een zuivere intonatie en het aanleren van een soepel, expressief vibrato. Door mijn muzikale opvoeding ben ik bovendien goed thuis in de Kodály-methode, waardoor het verbinden van zang met instrumentale techniek een heel natuurlijk onderdeel is van mijn manier van lesgeven. Wanneer nodig begeleid ik mijn leerlingen ook op de piano, wat het samen muziek maken extra toegankelijk en inspirerend maakt. Mijn doel is om in een geduldige en persoonlijke sfeer jouw muzikaliteit tot bloei te laten komen – of je nu net begint of je techniek verder wilt verdiepen. Neem gerust contact met mij op en laten me samen aan de slag gaan!

Bass guitar lessons with a holistic, "all-round" character.

We will practice the lessons together and we will use your best songs for this. I believe that if you have deep emotional contact with a piece of music, the learning process will also become faster, cozier and smoother!

Our main themes:

- technique and overview of the bass (where?)
- general music theory, ear training (why?)
- creative improvisation and composition (what?)
- rhythm, tempo, phrasing and feeling (how?)

For adults and teenagers, lessons last 1 hour. For all levels from absolute beginner to conservatory level.

Do you like singing? Or do you walk around with songs in your head all day? Then take singing lessons with Deborah online or in Amstelveen Westwijk. We sing songs from different countries and times. We will also work on different rhythms, notes and tone exercises.

If you are busy singing you can even have a completely different feeling and you can ensure that you have extra energy for the rest of the day.

Your body is your instrument when singing. We try to make that instrument sound as beautiful as possible..

During the singing lessons we also work on articulation, the pronunciation of foreign languages and also on the meaning of and your feelings about a particular piece. Of course we decide together what kind of music you will sing. We will also make a journey of discovery together to your favorite music.

WHO CAN LEARN TO SING?
Anyone can learn to sing. That will be because of the singing lessons. Also singing is good for relaxation, both of body and mind. Singing is simply fun!

I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

I have been a Piano teacher for many years, both to kids and adults. This is something I am very passionate about and truly enjoy.
My goal is to combine the students' interests with a program that I as a teacher find necessary to improve and develop technique and skills. I have also taught Piano to my kids, so I understand how important it is that Piano lessons are interesting and exciting.
I studied at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and give the lessons at my studio at grand piano in Amsterdam Zuid.

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

Hello! My name is Aurel and I am a French Amsterdam-based drummer.

Although currently specialized in Jazz music, I have studied various esthetics, and Pop and Rock music, in particular, are part of my background (I played in several pop-rock bands). Therefore I am able to teach a broad panel of music styles. I also have many drum methods and charts at my disposal, and have experience in teaching children from the age of 6, as well as teenagers and adults.

Lessons and teaching method:
I always adapt to the student's tastes and learning profiles. This is why, during the first lesson, and on a regular basis afterwards, I always take time to discuss with my students (or their parents if they are very young) to figure out together the path they want or need to follow. I will use charts and methods for those who need visual support to assimilate the skills or teach by ear and by demonstrating to the ones who feel more comfortable this way. I also play electric guitar and can jam with my students, which is a great tool for developing band playing skills or simply to have a good time.

For those eager to make significant progress, I offer consistent and serious monitoring, with practice recommendations. I can for instance prepare a student for an audition or an entrance exam in a conservatory. If you are willing to improve your understanding of rhythm in general, you can also benefit from my knowledge of Indian Karnatic rhythm concepts, one of the most complete traditional approaches to rhythm.
Students who simply want to learn at their pace, to have fun and unwind, are definitely welcome too!

About me:
In addition to my jazz drums bachelor and master degrees from the conservatory of Amsterdam (CvA), which included a thorough pedagogical training and a specialization in Indian Karnatic techniques, I benefit from 4 years of experience as an employed drum teacher in two French associative music schools (Ecole de musique de Nangis and Conservatoire des Deux Rives, Moret-sur-Loing).

I am also an active musician, both on the Dutch and the French scene. My trio mainly tours in France and has played at venues such as the Sunside (Paris), or participated in competitions like the Keep An Eye International Jazz Award. I am also the co-leader of the sextet Chai Masters, finalist of several European competitions (Leiden Jazz Award, Golden Jazz Trophy in Lille, France, 7 Virtual Jazz Contest). Recently, the band was part of Keep An Eye The Records's finalists (March 2022). Its first album "Magic Realism" received critical acclaim in France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

Looking forward to meeting you and passing on my know-how to you!

Hi, I'm Heewon from South Korea. I'm a graduate of the HKU Conservatory's Jazz & Pop department, majoring in jazz piano, though alongside that, I've continued studying classical piano, as well as composition and arranging.

For over 6 years, I've taught students ranging from young children (6 to 7 years old) to adults in their 50s and beyond, covering genres from jazz and pop to classical and new age, along with music theory. I've also performed extensively in both South Korea and the Netherlands, at festivals, jazz bars, and government related events, playing not only jazz standards but my own arrangements and original compositions.

I believe music is something we simply can't live without today. It surrounds us everywhere we go, woven into daily life. That's exactly why piano makes such a wonderful hobby: it's approachable, deeply rewarding, and a great way to relieve stress. How amazing is it to be able to play the music that lives in your head?

My lessons are open to all skill levels and are held in English or basic Dutch. Before we begin, I always start with a consultation to understand what you want out of piano, your goals, interests, and preferred style, and build lessons and materials around that.

Tailor made lessons suited to your level and goals:
- For beginners, we'll cover basic piano technique, fundamental music theory, and sheet music reading.
- For intermediate and advanced students, lessons are shaped around your specific needs and wishes (for example improvisation, accompaniment, arranging, and more).

All learning materials and documents are prepared by me.

My goal is to help you become a confident guitarist by combining technique, musical understanding, and the music that inspires you. Whether you want to learn your favorite songs, improve your technique, develop improvisation skills, explore different musical styles, or build a strong foundation in music theory, I would be happy to help you reach your goals step by step.

Lessons combine structure and flexibility, allowing you to progress at your own pace. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz, classical music, electronic music, and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach which can be adjusted to every student separately.

Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing at a party or jumping on stages, reading notes, or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is to help you find that out, and guide you through your process.

Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

To learn how to sing, you will need to learn two aspects: the technical aspect related to body awareness and the purely musical aspect of language. My teaching method is based 50% on technique and 50% on practice:
the first part of the lesson will be dedicated to exploring vocal techniques and body awareness
the second half will be spent singing your favourite songs, gradually putting into practice what we have done previously.
Every student is different, and singing is the most subjective instrument there is, as it is composed of flesh and bones, so the lessons will be tailored to your needs.

I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate students in a friendly and supportive environment. I studied at the Conservatory of Bologna in Italy, where I focused on classical piano, music theory, rhythm, ear training, chamber music, and solo performance. I have a special passion for Baroque and Classical music, but I am happy to adapt the lessons to each student’s interests and goals. In my lessons, we can work on piano technique, reading music, interpretation, rhythm, ear training, and basic music theory.

With me, you'll play real music from your very first lesson, not endless drills. I hold a doctorate in composition and music theory and a master's in piano performance, so I don't just show you what to play, I explain why it works. You'll feel the difference: once you understand what you're doing, you practise faster and play with more conviction.

My lessons usually start with technique, then we get into your repertoire, classical, pop, jazz, or film music, whatever you're drawn to. If you're taking voice lessons, I'll accompany you live at the piano.

I teach everyone: from your very first note to conservatory level, from kids to adults picking it up for the first time. I taught at university level for years and now judge international music competitions so I also know exactly how to prepare you for Music exams and auditions because I know what the jury is listening for. I teach in English, having trained and performed across three continents for over 30 years and I bring all of that into every lesson.

Lets start working !
