My name is Maaike, I am 25 and graduated from Conservatorium Haarlem where I studied Voice, in May 2018.

I've been playing the piano since I was little, both classical and popular repertoire, and also started singing while simultaneously playing the piano or guitar to accompany myself.
Nowadays, I write songs for myself and others and play these songs live with a band under my artist name MYCA. In June 2021 I finished a Songwriting Master in Rotterdam at Codarts Conservatorium.

Since 2017 I have taught private or duo singing lessons, piano lessons, and guitar lessons at students' homes in Haarlem and surrounding areas. Would you like to accompany your own singing? Combination lessons of singing/piano or singing/guitar are also a possibility.
Extra information
If you want to take piano lessons or guitar lessons, you must have a (digital or acoustic) piano or a guitar.

My name is Maaike, I am 25 years old and graduated from the Haarlem Conservatory in May 2018, majoring in singing.

From an early age I have enjoyed playing the piano, both classical and popular music, and soon started singing and accompanying myself on piano and guitar. Nowadays I also write songs myself, for myself and others, and I play my repertoire live with a band called MYCA. In June 2021 I completed a master's degree in Songwriting at the Conservatory in Rotterdam.

Since 2017 I have been giving private or duo singing lessons, piano lessons, and guitar lessons at home in Haarlem. Do you want to be able to guide yourself? Combination lessons for singing/piano or singing/guitar are also possible!
Lessons at home in Bloemendaal, Heemstede, Overveen, or Aerdenhout are also possible, inquire about the possibilities.

Your body is your instrument when singing. We try to make that instrument sound as beautiful as possible by working on sound formation. This allows the vocal cords to move more freely, so that you get tired less quickly when singing. Your voice becomes fuller and you can sing higher and lower notes.

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 you decide what kind of music you will sing. Whether you sing alone in the shower or whether you are in a choir and encounter certain difficulties in general or with a specific piece? Please feel free to bring your choir part to class and we will see together how we can make this easier for you. We work on repertoire that you love. We can also make a journey of discovery together to your favorite music.


WHO CAN LEARN TO SING?
Everyone can learn to sing. Because of the singing lessons you will notice that singing becomes easier. Moreover, singing is good for relaxation, both of body and mind. Singing is just enjoying!


YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT
As a singer you already have one advantage over instrumentalists: you do not have to buy an (expensive) instrument. You always have your instrument with you, but... you have to take good care of your instrument!

Dear music and piano lover, welcome to my profile page!

My name is Waldemar and I am a classical piano teacher.
I teach young (from 8 years old) and old, individually or in groups.

I received my training from Fania Chapiro in Hilversum and later at the Amsterdam Conservatory with Danielle Dechenne.

Depending on your level, we will in principle cover all aspects of technique and interpretation. You can always make special requests known to me.
In addition, I think it is important to structure the lessons and focus on themes so that you really learn something.

In addition to being a piano teacher, I am also available as a composition, music theory or solfege teacher.

Would you like to take lessons with an experienced pianist? Contact me.

musical regards,
Waldemar

PS And my favorite composer? That's currently Franz Schubert ;-)

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.

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.

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.

Whether you want to learn how to DJ, produce your (first) tracks, learn to play the piano, understand composition, or build a stronger (online) creative identity, I’m happy to guide you!

We can work on the technical side of music, like DJing/production, arrangement, mixing, and music theory, but also on the bigger picture: creating concepts, developing your style, and building your personal brand as an artist.

For me, music is all about curiosity, creativity, and having fun while learning. Everyone has their own ideas and inspiration, and I enjoy helping you shape those into something unique. Whether you’re just starting out or already making music, we’ll look together at what you want to achieve and create a learning path that fits you.

I teach piano to kids and adults. My goal is to teach you how to connect with the instrument, learn the notes and create your own style of playing. I teach the classical way but that does not limit our repertoire; we will focus on whatever songs/pieces you prefer and want to learn. Music is one of the most important arts and it is my goal to make you love it even more!

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.

I help students and musicians deepen their theoretical knowledge, prepare for entrance exams (e.g. conservatory), and improve their theoretical skills.

My lessons are structured, clear, and tailored to the level and goals of a student – from basic to advanced concepts.
In the lessons we can work on: ear training, solfege, general music theory, harmony, harmony at the piano, musical analysis.

Rather than a fixed curriculum, I build a custom syllabus for each student based on their needs, goals, and current level. In designing lessons, I draw on my own experience both as a self-taught musician and as an academically trained one — combining structured, conservatory-level methods with the flexibility that comes from having found my own way into this field first.

Lessons are shaped in pace and format to what actually works for the student in front of me — whether that means working note-by-note through an audition piece, or building broader theoretical fluency over a longer stretch of time.

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.
