Saxophone Lessons with Joseph - All Ages and Levels Welcome

From 95.93 C$ /h

Joseph Moruzzi is a saxophonist originally from the United States and is currently residing in the Netherlands. The main focus of Joseph’s work as a musician is on classical and contemporary repertoire, which includes transcriptions of forgotten works, theatrical music, and new compositions written for the saxophone. Joseph has earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York as well as a Master of Music degree from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

As a teacher, I enjoy going through fundamentals when teaching the saxophone, whether that is technique, posture, or musicality. I make sure students are learning technique while playing pieces that they are interested in themselves, having a balance in the lessons. I also enjoy teaching various etudes or repertoire for the saxophone, giving the student a deeper understanding of the saxophone's history and versatility.

I am open to teaching in-person, but if virtual lessons are more convenient then thats is also possible. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Make sure you have a saxophone, music stand, and your enthusiasm!

About Me

I am originally from the United States and initially came to the Netherlands for study. Now I am working as a musician and educator and looking forward to having new students!

My teaching style consists of working on fundamentals and repertoire while also focusing on what the student is interested in. I like to focus on making sure technique and posture is good while also maintaining a good sound. I can teach classical and contemporary music, but also open to jazz and pop music styles! I can teach all the main saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone) and can even coach any small saxophone ensembles. I am a native English speaker, but I am working up to a B1 level in Dutch!

I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

Learn to enjoy music together while playing cello with me!

- I help to prepare for music/cello exams towards Music Academies as well as I assist students with practicing.

- I work with beginners, helping them with the basics of cello techinque together with basic music theory

- One of my methods while teaching is to play together with a student as much as possible to teach them the art of chamber music but also good communication skills while practicing together.

- I combine different methods depending on the student's needs (and technical level)

- as a professional cellist with an educational studies background I implement different psychological ideas including observational learning, ideas of Piaget and Vygotsky, and others

- I use the background in Feldenkrais technique lessons in my own teaching

My name is Katerina, and I am a Greek, hardworking, and ambitious young cellist. I live in beautiful Utrecht for the last six years and, even if my Dutch is not perfect, I feel the Netherlands as my second home.
Through my lessons, a pupil will be able to advance their technique, their understanding, and perception of music and their musicality. All these will be achieved through an individual model designed from every pupil based on their abilities, age, the time they want to spend on personal practicing and level. For me, each pupil must be taken care of at their own pace and based on their own needs and abilities, so the lessons will be as efficient and productive but as much enjoyable and fun as possible.

I want to base my lessons on playing the guitar and related instruments in a way that feels mastered and personal.

I therefore want to focus on expression, technique and the aurally malleable nature of the instrument, for example by discussing extended techniques and the use of effect pedals. I want to invite the students to learn to listen carefully to the impact of different playing techniques and audio effects.

During the lessons I want to cover different kinds of music theory, especially in an "applied" way that is valuable to the student. I also want to deal with recording and producing my own work.

Owning your own effects pedals, a guitar amplifier or recording equipment is not required for this course.

1- A course in playing the oud for beginners, how to tune the instrument in an easy and simple way for beginners, and technical exercises for the plectrum and fingers and getting the correct sound from the instrument.

2- A course in Arabic singing and its principles accompanied by the oud
Through five lessons, the student is able to learn two basic musical instruments, perform songs that suit the trainee’s voice, and learn some vocal techniques (Arabs)
He played some simple songs on the oud
It enables the singing student to understand the nature of his voice and its sound space, and to link singing with the correct pitch and the principles of playing the Oud instrument

Hello everyone, I'm Enrico and I come from Italy. Right now I am in Utrecht where I am doing a master's degree in cello under the guidance of Timora Rosler.
During my years of studies I always had the possibility to teach music, in fact while I was doing my Bachelor in Italy at the Conservatory of Turin, I taught cello and music theory in a private music school called "Isla de Musiqueros", in this school I had the opportunity to teach people of all ages, including children under 4 years old.
When I moved to the Netherlands little by little I started to find students and many many concerts.

I believe that playing is the best way to have fun and express your emotions, the work I want to do is work on tensions and try to help you melt away while playing, in this way you can have more sound and feel more free.
Technique is also very important in the everyday life of a musician, together we can see the best exercises for you, to help you improve and have more confidence with the instrument.

So, you want to learn how to producer, engineer, mix, and master audio, eh? Awesome! I can teach you any DAW you want to learn, including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Cubase, Garageband, and Logic Pro, in easy to understand, simple steps. I know that when you open recording software for the first time, it can feel like looking at the controls for a spaceship; how can you ever hope to understand all these numbers, colors and controls?? It feels overwhelming. Don't worry though, it's not as hard as it looks! In fact, it's so intuitive that I guarantee you will engineer your first drum track the very first time we work together!!

Over the past ten years, I have specialized in classical violin performance, training in Spain and abroad through courses and masterclasses with professors from Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Rooted in the Galamian school of violin technique, my teaching approach is individual and flexible, adapting to each student’s needs and goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students of all ages — from young beginners to adult learners — and at different technical levels, always focusing on a balance between instrumental technique and musical understanding.
I believe that learning music and mastering an instrument is a long-term journey. That’s why my teaching philosophy emphasizes enjoying the process, building a strong foundation, and developing a genuine connection with both the violin and music itself.
