Piano lessons and/or music theory: from beginners to advanced levels

From 84 C$ /h

Whether you are a music enthusiast who would love to play your favourite songs on the piano, an experienced musician looking to take the next step into your expressiveness and confidence when playing, or a student who needs to learn or reinforce music theory, you are in the right place!

I'm Irene Martínez de las Muelas, a pianist and recent graduate of the Master of Music program at Codarts University of the Arts, and I would love for you to be my next student. I have previous experience teaching piano at different levels to people of many ages (children, teenagers, and adults), because I'm passionate about sharing my love of music and I believe that, with the right approach, everyone can be capable of expressing themselves through music.

As a pianist, I have performed solo concerts of classical music, and also being part of ensembles, from chamber music to contemporary and other genres. I adapt my lessons and approach to the student's particular needs, so:

- If you are already a pianist with some experience who wants to develop certain technical aspects and delve much deeper into musical expression...
- If you are a beginner, or someone who wants to pick up playing again after a long time...
- If you are interested in learning music theory in a much more efficient and fun way, relating everything you learn to your favourite music...
- Either you want to prepare an entrance exam to pursue music in a professional way; or you want to keep it as a hobby...

...my lessons are definitely for you!

I speak fluent Spanish, English, and French; so if you want to have lessons in one of these languages, don't hesitate to contact me! :)

Extra information

Before the first lesson, and completely free of charge, I conduct a video call with the student to get to know more about his/her interests, expectations, current level, and learning environment. This allows me to begin with the ideal approach for each student!

Composition lessons are for anyone who wishes to compose music, for any instrument, emsemble and/or electronics music.

My teaching method combines various approaches and styles, supporting practice with theoretical knowledge, and most important developing creativity and helping the student in making their imagionary visions come real.

For each student a different palate of tools is offered, according to the student's musical wishes and ambitions.

I teach the basis of western-music composition - theory, harmony, counterpoint, score-reading, solfege, rhythm, analysis and more.
Further I suggest broad overview of world, jazz, pop, new/contemporary music, various styles in electronic music (popular and experimental), improvisatory compositions, graphic notation, text and game pieces, music for theater, film and dance and interdicsiplinary works which combine music with other art fields.

I just completed my Master's studies at Codarts Rotterdam. Since I was very young I learned music not only as a separate activity but as a way to acquire an organized and disciplined mindset that I could apply to all situations in life. This is what my students will learn, together with improving their musical skills and enjoying everything that music can give us!

I am a professional classical guitarist and lutenist with many years of teaching experience. I tailor lessons to my students' needs and interests. This may mean training a young classical guitarist for a professional career, teaching a beginner to play his or her favorite pop song, or anything in between! Learning to play the lute, mandolin, or ukulele are other possibilities, or perhaps improving one's knowledge of music theory. I have a background in electric guitar, electric bass, and traditional Irish music. Whatever the style or instrument, I always strive to impart or reinforce the fundamentals of technique and musicianship.

- In a very calm and friendly environment, the classes are organized and planned according to the students' goals/wishes. As someone who was classically trained from age 6 to 18, I believe this is very important for the students well being.

- If you want to improve your piano technique while also enjoying the lesson and having a sense of improvement every week, then these lessons are for you.

- My classes are for everyone that wants t play anything on the piano. Be it jazz, classical, pop, etc... Also, as a composer and pianist, I will give you a different point of view from other piano teachers.

The lessons' contents will vary from student to student but may contain:

- Piano technique
- Music theory;
- Ear training;
- Popular/jazz/classical repertoire
- Musical interpretation
- Reading sheet music

I am not able to give the lessons in Dutch, yet.

In my lessons, having fun while making music is always central. I believe you learn best when you feel safe, seen, and free to experiment. That’s why I work with a personal and positive approach, allowing each student to follow their own pace and musical interests.

A typical lesson starts with a short warm-up or technical exercise, tailored to the voice or instrument. We then work on songs, ideas, or projects the student enjoys, such as singing favorite songs, writing original music, or producing a track. Technique, musicality, and creativity are always intertwined. I explain theory in a practical and accessible way, so it can be applied immediately to your own music.

My background as a conservatory-trained vocalist, songwriter, and producer allows me to combine multiple disciplines. I support students not only with vocal or instrumental technique, but also with expression, confidence, songwriting, and developing a personal style. Making mistakes is part of the process, and often where the most beautiful ideas begin.

The lessons are suitable for both beginners and advanced students, and for anyone curious about music and creative growth. Whether you dream of performing on stage, writing your own songs, or simply singing or playing with more confidence and joy, we will work together, focused and with lots of fun, on your musical development.
