Hello! I'm Imanol, an experienced motivating piano teacher in The Hague. I give piano lessons in Spanish, Dutch, and English.

Where do I give the Piano Lessons?
I teach at my charming studio, in Regentessekwartier. There, you will be able to enjoy a high-quality grand piano in a cozy environment. The location is 5 minutes from the city center by tram or bike. IMPORTANT! Please check the availability in my profile.

Personal Plan
During the lesson, we will build a plan, taking into account your taste, your practice time, and your goals. Of course, I'll let you try out my Grand Piano!

Piano Lessons for All Ages
My piano lessons are for teenagers, adults, and children (from 7 years old).

Piano Beginner Lessons
As a beginner, you will learn the basics of playing piano through fun and instructive exercises, easy classical repertoire, and your favorite pop songs. We will learn how to read music scores in a practical and easy method! From there, we will slowly get into more difficult pieces, building a comfortable and enjoyable way of playing.

Advanced and Piano
Are you a more advanced player interested in learning more about classical music and seeking ways to take your piano playing to the next level? Dive into different styles or how to play chamber music?

Goals for Learning
We'll focus on a relaxed posture, dexterity, articulation, toucher, personalized exercises, scales, arpeggios, etudes. Enjoy playing your favorite pieces by Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Rachmaninov, and Einaudi to pop.

Music Theory
Music theory is just as important as playing an instrument and my lessons combine practice and theory. Learn about rhythmical structures, and the way melodies are built and gain a deeper understanding of harmony and music history.

What to expect?
Playing the piano is a very demanding activity that requires time and patience, however, it can be extremely fun! Feeling the power of creating sound through your own hands is an amazing experience that we all should feel. In the lessons, You will also learn how to practice in a time-saving way. For that, I will give you clear and practical instructions.

Online Piano Lessons
Effective ways of learning and communicating through new technologies enable you to learn and enjoy the piano from your home.

About Me
Over 10 years ago I moved from a small town in the north of Spain to Barcelona, and since then I have followed some of the most important conservatories in Europe: Liceo Conservatory in Barcelona, Amsterdam Conservatory, and The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. During the last few years, I have been fortunate to offer concerts in Italy, Germany, France, and Spain, and I won first prizes in International Chamber Music Competitions. At the moment I am combining my chamber music and soloist concerts with piano teaching.

I specialize in teaching about Music and how to play the Guitar.
In class, I always make an effort to understand what are the goals and interests of all students, as well as their skills. This way we can address the issues at hand more effectively and make sure the student never loses his/her interest and focus in music and his/her instrument. I believe that an honest and friendly relationship between teacher and student is essential for this exchange of ideas to happen more clearly and fluently, so I do my best to make everyone feel comfortable enough to share their thoughts freely.
I offer good and personalized classes. This means that there will be special care with your interest in music and guitar, all basic skills will be worked upon and strengthened, all specific requests and ideas will be addressed, both improvisation and interpretation can be developed, and exploring potential, achieving goals and having fun are main priorities.
Come and enjoy learning more about Music and Guitar!

My name is Carla Peña and I come from Barcelona. Since I was a child, music has played an important role in my life. I started learning music when I was 4 years old and cello when at the age of 6. I discovered my love for music and that is what I share with my students.
I have around 15 pupils of all levels and ages and I teach at my own studio (De Constant Rebecquestraat 3) or at your place!
If you are in The Hague area and you want to learn the cello or improve your playing, you are welcome to do lessons with me!

FIRST LESSON:
The first lesson consists of getting to know each other. This is essential to choose the best teaching approach. All the students are unique, that is why I always choose the method that adapts better to your needs. Then, we elaborate a personal plan, depending on your level, expectations, practice time, and taste.

TECHNIQUE:
Learning the proper technique of the instrument is very important to avoid injuries and to be able to express ourselves and perform our musical ideas in a successful way. That is why we learn nice songs in different styles, depending on your taste (from classical to jazz, film music, pop, etc.) and we combine it with cello method books with progressive exercises to improve the cello knowledge.
In the case of young beginners, we also play cello games during the lesson to make the learning experience dynamic and fun! Children can lose attention and get bored very quickly!

Playing together is an essential part of enjoying music. Therefore, the last part of the lesson always consists of playing cello duets and having fun!

ABOUT ME:

I studied my Bachelor in Conservatori Superior del Liceu in Barcelona, with professor Amparo Lacruz. Then, I decided to continue my studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the class of Michel Strauss and Jan-Ype Nota.
During my studies in The Hague, I did a teaching internship at the Royal Conservatory as a part of their Minor in Music Education. I also taught in several Music Schools during my studies in Spain.
Currently, I teach private students in The Hague and I created a cultural center in The Hague called Pandora Studio.
I play regularly in two chamber music ensembles: Trio Jakob and Azalaïs Quartet.

Learning how to play an instrument can fall into many classroom stereotypes; Not if you strive to discover sounds and styles, if you're open to learning not only an instrument but all that is related to music and sound making!
I've taught at different institutes and private lessons for +5 years; then slowly began to put together my own method of teaching not only piano, but related subjects to help students gain a broader knowledge and be able to take next steps in their music journey even when they're finished with their music lessons.With all the experience I gathered in working with children and adults, I've composed a method of teaching subjects related to piano performance(music theory, music history, improvisation and creative music composing) alongside lessons on the instrument and piano techniques, as the student proceeds and is in need of more broad knowledge.
It doesn't matter wether the student is a pupil or an adult, if they have experience in music or not, there's always a lot to discover together in my lessons; based on the students needs and interests.
I usually start with basics of the instrument and give students a general lesson on how the instrument works. As we proceed in our lessons, we will cover techniques and more specific skills based on the interest of the student.Our lessons are very flexible regarding class material and my aim is to keep the lessons always fun and informative as well as following the bigger aim of helping the student to be confidant in their music performing and music creation.
The format of our lessons will not stay the same as we work on different pieces, different skills and subjects. There are certain repertoire we will cover but also some of the pieces the student likes to be able to play and understand.
We will also work on performing skills, I often organise mini concerts for students that like to overcome their fear of performing on stage or for others, giving them the opportunity to perform their own pieces or from classic piano repertoire.

With over 15 years of teaching experience, I offer private guitar lessons in many styles for all ages and all levels. I am also an active performer, mostly performing my own singer-songwriter music in the folk-rock genre. Classes are offered in English, Dutch and German.

I am from Los Angeles originally where I received my degree in music with a minor in Classical Guitar from California State University, Northridge.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old. Back in those days, I was mostly inspired by rock music, learning to play by ear by listening to the radio. Later, I went to Conservatory and studied classical music, therefore learning in a more structured way. This gives me a unique approach to teaching, because I understand playing by ear and feeling, as well as having a background in music theory. It is a mix of these two worlds that I offer in my lessons. In this way, my students progress quickly while having a basis of how music works so that they can continue to grow for endless years to come.

My approach to teaching is to get lasting results for the students and to make sure they have a great time. The lessons are light and joyful, as music should be. I work hard to make sure my students experience the rewards of reaching new plateaus regularly as they progress. It is also important to me that my students play songs/pieces that they enjoy playing. We will discuss your musical tastes, or work to discover the musical tastes of your child.

So whatever your age, musical experience, or lack of thereof, get in touch and let's get you or your child playing the guitar right away. I look forward to hearing from you!

You want to be the person who can just pick-up a guitar and play a song everyone can sing along to?
Do you want to be able to play (and sing) a song after hearing it once or twice?
Impress your friends or your lover by playing their favorite songs.

I teach you:
- How to hold and play the guitar
- How to play your favorite songs
- The skills to learn guitar on your own
- How to warm up (playing guitar or singing)
- Breathing and singing exercises to improve your singing

I might not be able to turn you into a pro. But I'll teach you the first steps to getting there yourself!

A bit about me:
I study for music therapist, so I know how to engage in converstation. If you have special needs, I know how to respect those and teach you how to deal with them (musically)

My goal is to do this outside of my school hours, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to weekends and evenings as wel!

I'm a spiritual person; that means I'm also open for your religion (if you have one) ;)
I'm 24 years old with an obvious passion for music. Hit me up if you have any questions.

If you need help finding your first guitar I can advise you on that. Let's talk about your budget and options and we will settle on an agreement for the price of my advise.

Anything that is part of a fundamental understanding of music, e.g. music theory, solfège, rhythm and piano will be taught. For me it is very important that the lessons is specifically made for the students regarding content and length. If asked violin and ballett can be taught as well. In that way the necessary aspects of a well rounded musician can be built up.
