About Me

I am a young musician and teacher who wants her students to be enthusiastic about playing the saxophone. That's why I always try to adapt to the student's musical tastes, always advising what I think is best for him/her during the learning process.
I gave saxophone lessons for over 5 years to different levels and ages, different people with different musical tastes and I can say that I always had the confidence of my students and the evolution was noticeable. At the same time I gave classes to groups of children between 4 and 10 years old where I was able to give them their first contact with music with games and activities. In one of my groups I also worked with children with cognitive and physical problems, and being able to accompany their development and communication through music moved me and motivated me a lot to continue my path as an educator.

Hello fellow musician!
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a saxophone player?
Wheter you are trying to become a jazz improviser, or you have just started familiarizing with the instrument, I can teach you how to:

- be able to produce a beutiful sound;
- use music theory as a practical way to play correctly over changes;
- maximize the outcome of your practice-time;
- master the technique on your horn.

As a student, I often found myself struggling with resolving a particular set of problems. I was constantly confronted with higher-levelled players, wondering whether I would ever become able to express myself as they did through their music. Having been studying jazz for many years, I experimented with a lot of different learning methods, only to find out that music improvisation is something that is mainly acquired in very personal, differentiated ways. One of the most interesting things I experienced as an educator, when encountering students who shared my own past insecurities, doubts, questions, and struggles, was getting to understand a part of the person in front of me; and to find new ways to help grasp and internalize a theoretical or technical concept that could then enable them to formulate a more coherent musical idea. Even if every student is a unique individual, thus responding to different educational methods, I think that, over time, I was able to identify a red line around which I could create a method that can be beneficial to the majority of aspirational players.

For the past few years, I have been giving private instrument lessons to jazz players with varied backgrounds and experience.
My educative career consists of a traditional classical, MA in classical saxophone (Conservatorio G. B. Martini, Bologna), a BA in jazz saxophone (ibid.), and a BA in jazz saxophone called New York Jazz Bachelor at the Prins Claus Conservatorium in Groningen, where I am now attending a Jazz Master program.

I think of myself as social musician. I mostly like to play sharing music with others. My first priority goes to having an interesting/charming/ resonant full sound. Then i work on how to connect your ears to your instrument so that you can play as simple as possible in a way that you can hear it before you are getting to play it on saxophone. We can also work on repertoire based on taste in music of your choice. If we choose some music that you like before actually studying it, this is a strong motivation for the student to go for it ! I am mostly an alto and tenor player but i can teach to any other kind of saxophone like baritone, soprano etc. My sound , technique and lessons are mostly coming from jazz music(blues ,swing , mostly American music of 20s-60s)
I assign homework after every lesson about the technique of the saxophone but also the possible tools of improvisation in music.

Individualized lesson plans inspired by proven methods.
All in the comfort of your own home.

Born and raised in Northern Ontario, Canada, I've been playing music for over 40 years. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Classically trained and world influenced, I am proficient in both old and new musical styles My main instrument is guitar, but I am also quite taken by the piano. I would be happy to show you some of what I've learned. I have taught music to people of all ages and of various backgrounds. I have a nice rapport with kids and adults. I am friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and easy to have around for 45 minutes each week. I speak english, french, spanish, german, and some dutch.

Do you want to take you playing of the saxophone to the next level? I would be really honored to become your teacher. My name is Jan, graduated from jazz saxophone at the Conservatory for music and ballet in Ljubljana and now I’m doing my bachelors of jazz saxophone at the Prince Claus conservatorium Groningen.

Hallo allemaal, als je van muziek houdt en erover denkt om celloles te nemen, dan deel ik graag mijn kennis en ervaring met je!

Hello everyone, if you like music and you're thinking about taking cello lessons, I will be more than happy to share my knowledge and expirience with you!

I like to teach my students the technique and musical abilities necessary to understand and enjoy music.
My aim during the cello lessons it's always to make sure that the student is having a nice time and enjoying music while they learn!

I have been in Groningen for three weeks and I'm starting to learn dutch. I can understand a bit, since I speak German fluently, but the lessons are mostly in English at the moment. I hope in a near future will be dutch as well ;)

I have a great experience in teaching students from different ages. I can teach beginner students and introduce them to music and cello. I have received training on young children music training. I also can teach more advanced students and older people, as I have also experience in this field. I have done a lot of private cello lessons during my studies, I worked as a substitute teacher in music schools from Spain, and I have been working for one year as a music teacher in Austria.

For the lessons it is important to have the instrument, but we can search for it together, once we start with the lessons. It doesn't have to be a super professional one for starting learning:)

I can also help with music solfège and harmony basics, so that we can make sure that every student it's able to read and understand music.

I'm active musician always learning from my master studies and performance expirience. I like also to be involved in further education in the field of teaching.

Hi, I'm Sterre! In 2024 I got my bachelor's degree in classical piano at the conservatory in Rotterdam. I'm currently doing my master's degree at the Prins Claus Conservatory in Groningen. I regularly give concerts, besides that I also really enjoy giving piano lessons to children and adults who are motivated to learn to play this instrument! I give piano lessons in Groningen.

My passion for playing the piano started when I was 11 years old. I was staying with a friend who had a piano. At first I wasn't very interested, but by chance I had a piano app on my phone that allowed you to play the easy version of Für Elise and other pieces. Because I thought it would be more fun to play on a real piano, I sat down at it. I enjoyed it so much that I played the piano the rest of the day!

Later I got a piano myself. I taught myself to read notes and the theory around it. I progressed very quickly, because within a year I was accepted to the preparatory course of the conservatory in Rotterdam. (Havo/Vwo for music and dance.) When I finished the preparatory course I continued with the Bachelor at the Rotterdam conservatory. At the moment I am studying in the first year of my Master.

Piano lessons:
First we discuss your goals with each other to see where you want to grow towards. I then adapt my lessons accordingly.

Furthermore, I find it important to focus the lessons on the basic principles of piano playing. Notation, rhythmic skills and a good body and hand position. In addition, I find it very important to teach expression and musicality. But the most important thing is to have fun playing the piano!

Anyone can learn to play the piano!
From the age of 5 I also give piano lessons to children. I teach in a playful way to keep it interesting for children. I work with a nice lesson book with nice assignments and clear explanations.
