About Me
Hi! I'm a bachelor student of Maastricht conservatory, specialising in jazz guitar. I've been playing and teaching professionally for more than 10 years now, have a lot of experience with students of different ages and levels. Will gladly work with absolute beginners, as well as more advanced players who want to take their playing to a next level. To those who are interested I also offer lessons in music theory (modern music oriented rather than classical), which can be integrated to instrument lessons or taught separately. I have a highly individual approach to every student, prioritise the musical goals and direction that the student wants to go or help to develop those and am doing my best to achieve great results together. Let me know if you are interested, let's make some music in these strange times :)

In the lessons, we will be focusing on setting or developing all the required skills for the students to be able to perform independently, understand the musical language, and explore their own sound. Focusing on posture, hand coordination, rhythm, ear training, reading scores, and improvisation. So far my musical exposure in many different genres allows me to create a lesson that is adapted to the specific needs of my students. I have garnered the patience and belief in the idea that anyone can become a part of the music world with the proper amount of attention and guidance.

Saxophone lessons:

Mathias' lessons are for both beginners and advanced students. The lessons are based on the student's desire to learn and be inspired, and it is important for him to be able to help develop and stimulate this desire.

Selected focus points in the lessons are:
- Sound and equality
Focus on uniform quality throughout the register and feeling that you have control and decide for yourself over the instrument.

- Ear training
Particularly the ability to perceive, retain and reproduce musical structures. This is trained with Mathias through simple and effective principles.

In Mathias' lessons, you are provided with various exercises that strengthen embouchure, breathing technique and your understanding of harmony and improvisation.

He places great emphasis on the fact that the student is not in an exam, but in a work process, and that the student's wishes and motivation are at the center.

Especially for beginners
For the first lesson, Mathias provides a saxophone. Write a non-binding message to Mathias if you are interested or have any questions.

About Mathias:
