When you receive lessons from me, we will first listen calmly and focused to what the student wants to learn. But the most important thing I want to give the student is to enjoy making music. This can be in any genre, classical, jazz, pop songs or zooming deeper into theory. Improvisation is a big part of my lessons. In addition to fun, this often also provides a very good idea of what the student wants to say with the instrument. I see it as my challenge to convey my knowledge in a focused but relaxed way.

I am currently still in the third year of my studies at the Conservatory in Utrecht. Here I am studying the Musician 3.0 course. This is a course aimed at improvising. There are no genres associated with this. I will also pay attention to this throughout the lessons, to give a small insight into what valuable things my study has to teach me.

In addition to the piano, I also play 3 other instruments. The bass guitar, the harmonica and guitar. If you are interested in playing these instruments together
Extra information
All lessons I will teach will be at the student's home. Since I do not own a car, I can only teach in the 's-Hertogenbosch area.

About Me
My piano lessons are about having fun with music and improvising to express your feelings and convey them to the listener. This can be in different genres. Classical, jazz, pop. You may also want feedback on your own creations. I am very open to this, because my goal is to produce music, even more so than to reproduce it.

In my lessons we will talk about what the student needs. And we will look at what the student needs week by week. Maybe I'll give you homework to listen to certain artists or ambient sounds. Or I give a classical or jazz piece to work on skills.
Education
I am studying at the Utrecht Conservatory, the Musician 3.0 course. This is a course in which you improvise with your instrument to express your feelings. And to transfer your feelings to the audience. This can be expressed musically, but is also focused on performance art and movement. A lot of different expressions to make your voice heard on stage.
Experience / Qualifications
Because I am still a student, I have not yet gained much experience in the field. But I am very motivated to teach.
