Dear Music Students,

I am an American guitarist, composer, and teacher from the US newly relocated to the Netherlands, based in Delft and offering music lessons at home in my living room or at your location also in nearby cities such as the Hague and Rotterdam. I did my bachelor's in guitar performance at Berklee College of Music where I specialized in Jazz, and hold master's degrees from Yerevan State Conservatory and Royal Conservatoire Antwerp where I specialized in Composition and Electronic music.

While my background is in Jazz my interests have always been broad and I'm happy to work with students at a variety of levels of experience, stylistic backgrounds and interests. Whether you are new to music and to the guitar and want to just learn the basics and strum the chords to some songs or are already interested in more advanced techniques and challenging pieces I'm sure with my background, education and experience that I can be a helpful resource for you. I do understand a bit of Dutch but I don't speak well yet so my lessons are taught in English.

Topics I like to focus on include:
Improving Guitar Technique and Understanding of the Instrument, Understanding Music Theory, Reading and Writing Musical Notation, Learning how to Improvise, Composition & Arrangement Skills, Music Technology Hardware and Software, Ensemble Coaching, Class Assistance and Tutoring, University/Conservatory Preparation.

Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or to express interest. Looking forward to working with you and wishing you all the best on your musical journey!

Sincerely,
Alexander

Since graduating at the Conservatory of Rome, teaching as well as performing has been one of my passions! I have been teaching piano for more than 8 years to students of all levels and age. I have experience with children, adults and also with students with different learning abilities. My students were always encouraged to take a step further and navigate through the world of piano under my guidance.

My lessons are generally from half hour (for young children) to 1/1,5 hours. Depending on the level of the student, the lesson will include solfeggio and notions of musical theory, technique exercises and study of piano repertoire.

My experience lies in classical piano repertoire, including Classicism, Baroque, Romanticism and Early Modern. I try to vary the program of my lessons and to choose the repertoire with the students, based on their taste and inclination. My teaching method is very structured and reflects the methodology taught in Conservatories, Music Academies and Universities. It is aimed at creating a solid basis to prepare for exams and auditions as well as giving the instruments for independent study. This type of method is of course suited also for amateur pianists too, who just want to play in their spare time - it will give them the opportunity to check their practice and receive relevant advice.

Aside from the technique, participation, passion and fun are also fundamental! I pace each lesson to the needs and the preparation of the students, listen to their requests and choose with them the right path to follow. All my students are always satisfied with the relaxed and inspiring atmosphere of our lessons!

I am a professional classical guitarist and lutenist with many years of teaching experience. I tailor lessons to my students' needs and interests. This may mean training a young classical guitarist for a professional career, teaching a beginner to play his or her favorite pop song, or anything in between! Learning to play the lute, mandolin, or ukulele are other possibilities, or perhaps improving one's knowledge of music theory. I have a background in electric guitar, electric bass, and traditional Irish music. Whatever the style or instrument, I always strive to impart or reinforce the fundamentals of technique and musicianship.

If you are in or around Den Haag and interested in violin/viola lessons, you've found the right page.

As a passionate performer, student and teacher, I offer private lessons in English and other languages to individuals of most proficiency levels and any age group. I have the most to offer to beginners. There are certain materials, methods, and repertoire lists that I will consistently rely on for most teaching, but every student will receive advice and exercises tailored to their specific needs. If you are interested in lessons for yourself or for a friend/family member, don't hesitate to contact me and we can discuss teaching methods and materials, scheduling, and more in greater detail.

Thanks for checking out my class! I hope to hear from you! 😊

Hi, I am Zalan!

Are you considering to become a bass player?
Are you interested in improvisation?
Do you want to play in a band?
Or are you on the way to become a musician already, but you need some extra help?
You are in the right place then.

I am a professionally educated bass guitarist and teacher from Hungary, currently based in The Hague (Freshly graduated in master education at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague)
I am an active musician since 2014, I have played in several formations from solo performances to bigbands and orchestras.

Besides playing I am quite passionate about teaching, during my bachelor studies I have started to teach in music schools and also in private, and teaching since then.
I can teach you jazz theory, composition and my own teaching method too in a very clear way.
My view on music is simple: Music is a game, that is why we call it "playing" music.

The history of music has always been linked to great historical events. That is why knowledge of it helps to understand human evolution from the 16th century to the present day. With these classes you can learn a lot about all periods of music, its great composers and the best works. Always in an instructive way and with a lot of participation.

Learning guitar is a beautiful process but can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes, that's natural!, There is a lot to learn like harmony, melody, rhythm, technique, licks, phrasing, playing solos or performing bases etc...
The issue comes when trying to learn everything at once with chaotic learning methods.
I tailor a personalised guitar learning process and daily practice routine depending on the student needs and goals.

Hello to all of you! My name is Antonio and I come from Spain. I have been living in the Netherlands for 3 years already. I am currently in my last year of my bachelor's degree in jazz flute. I finished my master's degree in classical flute performance 3 years ago. I offer this course to awaken the interest of all flute players that there is something beyond classical music, such as jazz, latin, flamenco, brazilian music, funk... and all kinds of fusions, and I am willing to teach you all about it apart from theory lessons. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me, we will have a good time for sure!

Are you looking for piano lessons for your child(ren) but don't know which teacher to trust?
The first music classes for a young student are always the most important, often determining whether the child will love the instrument or not, so they require special attention. Pretty scary, I imagine!

So, hello there! My name is Gina, and I am a specialized piano teacher in music education for children, with more than 7 years of experience teaching young pupils.
I have worked with dozens of piano beginners, ensuring they have the best start in their musical journey. By following various teaching methods that have been proven to positively impact children's overall music education, I make sure that my pupils remain interested and learn a lot from the very beginning!

You can book a first lesson where you—the parents—can also be present during the class. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn something new too!

See you soon!
