Learning to play the piano is very enjoyable.
I will take you through the basic elements (all notes, chords, scale, etc...) to playing your first song. This doesn't have to take too long. And also further, such as improvising, for more advanced people.
I teach Blues and boogie woogie.
Individual help guaranteed! And don't forget the fun.
Greetings,
Rick

For playing blues on the harmonica, you will be needing a 10-Hole DIATONIC harmonica in the key of C.
We start with holding the harmonica rightfully in your hand and in the mouth.
Then we will be playing our first pure, single note. And then gradually playing them all over the instrument.
Then it is time for learning the basic 12 bar blues progression. This will help you to start to play your favourite bluestunes, but also start your own tunes.
In the course , you will also be able to learn the important technique: Bending. This is an integral part of bluesharmonica. I will show you exactly how to do that.
And a lots of other techniques.
But, most of all, you will have a la of fun.
You will have much joy !!

Strumming The GUITAR has it’s own right place. But when learning the fingerstyle, it opens a wide variety of very beautiful melodies . Because you play as an orchestra. What do we mean by this? Well, in the beginning we will be learning several basslines with the thumb in combination with the melody. So, you play both the rhythm and the melody together. I am also going to give you an amazing formula which you van use to build your own FINGERPICKING patterns as you practice.
This course is both for the beginner and intermediate student.
Those already know some chords, can receive help modify them so that you can adjust to a song and integrate the melody into the chordshape.
It is a most interesting course open for everyone !!

Dear music lovers,

Always wanted to discover the wonderful sounds of the piano? I offer piano lessons for young and old! No prior knowledge? No problem, together we will start a fun course from scratch. The musical alphabet is taught at your own pace and you'll be playing some of your favorite songs in no time. Chord learning also possible.
In my home there is both an advanced electric piano, ideal for experimenting with different sound effects, and an acoustic piano.
For the younger musicians: songs can also be learned through play, dance and singing. Songs are taught in a creative way!

We listen to your wishes and make a plan, taking into account your agenda.

I offer lessons in packages of five or ten lessons, but also a single lesson.
Lessons at home possible or at my home in Aardenburg (Netherlands)

Classical, pop, a touch of jazz, ...? You are welcome with me!

Musical greetings,
Leila

I offer piano lessons from intermediate to advanced levels. I'm currently no longer teaching beginners.

I believe in a practical and integrated approach that incorporates theory, improvisation, ear, and note reading. If you have a specific goal in mind, I can tailor the lessons to your needs. I have extensive pedagogical and musical training. I am a professional musician and teach in higher arts education. My specialty is jazz music, but I also have experience in other genres. In my free time, I practice classical music. I can also teach you specifically about music theory (not music theory for beginners), arrangement, and music notation software.

It is my conviction that the most pleasure can be obtained from playing the piano when you can not only reproduce a piece but also improvise with it. Interpreting and re-enacting a classical piece gives a great kick, but on the other hand it is really useful to get a dose of insight into harmony in order to learn to play more efficiently from the outside, or to make your own variation of it. And I think this can be taught right away on the keyboard for the beginner or the advanced, with whatever piece you like to hear, of whatever genre. I like to devote myself to such a piece and bring in some music theory and tricks that I discovered in the jazz world, intertwined with the classical method as the academy offers it! As far as I'm concerned, it is precisely this combination of reproduction and improvisation that gives the pianist the ultimate freedom! To be honest, it took me many years to discover all kinds of things and now I want to share this!
