About Me

Hi!
My name is Billy and I’m a professional musician and music teacher based in Utrecht. I teach drums, piano, handpan and music theory to students of all ages and levels.

My teaching style is supportive, practical and student-centered. I believe learning music should be inspiring and enjoyable, not stressful. Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for exams, or an advanced player wanting to improve technique, groove or musical understanding, I adapt each lesson to your personal goals and learning style.

I like to combine solid technical foundations with creativity, improvisation and real musical application. For me, building confidence and musical expression is just as important as developing skills.

I enjoy working with motivated students who are curious and open to learning, but I also love helping beginners take their very first steps in music. My goal is always to create a relaxed and positive learning environment where students feel comfortable to grow.

Hallo allemaal!

I have been working for 12 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young, when I was 14 years old, because I always liked teaching): I have experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 2 years and adults of all levels, both teaching individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

I finished my bachelor studies with the highest marks, I have experience as a concert performer and have won prizes in competitions and several scholarships prizes.

I hope to have the pleasure that we both learn by making music together, do not hesitate to contact me!
Flexible timetable and teaching adapted to the student's preferences

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

Learning how to play an instrument like drums can be the most satisfying feeling. Being able to express yourself musically on a stage with other musicians the best experience in the world. Drummers are beat makers, groove is what make people move or swing their heads. Being a musician means connecting with everyone in the crowd and giving them a great time!

Ever wanted or dreamed of becoming a drummer and to play in a band? Never had the opportunity or the chance to do it? This might be your time to take action and I could guide you in small steps to realize your drumming dreams.

My lessons are focused mainly on music and performing, for all levels. If you're a beginner I'll guide you through the fundamentals of rhythm with a musical approach. If you're already an intermediate drummer and wanna take it to the next level I'll provide you with the best material to push your boundaries even further!

Book now your lesson and make it happen!

Hello everyone, I am a drummer from Greece, currently living in the NL(Utrecht).During the previous years I have been playing in many bands with different genres, from middle eastern fusion to metal and Latin and I'm currently studying in a Jazz&Pop conservatory. The lessons are designed according to your goals and repertoire, so feel free to join the lessons regardless of your age/level/music genre! During the class, we're going to work towards the things you'd like to achieve, but also the ability to play with others and improvise! Having followed many Alexander Technique programs, I find it very important to develop some basic techniques to avoid injuries during playing and studying, but also share some tips for stage fright and stress while performing!

Hi! I'm Marcello and I come from Italy. I've been playing the drums for more than half of my life and a few years ago I moved to the Netherlands to pursue a music education and to establish myself in The Hague as a professional musician and teacher. I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire and minored in classical percussion in the summer of 2022 and I am currently studying drums and composition in the Master programme.
I usually focus on the technical aspects of music, but the lesson plan will vary according to the student's needs. We can get as serious about playing as you wish! So I advise you to have an idea of what you want to play but, if that's not the case, I'll be happy to share my passion and my favourite artists with you!

Hi, I'm Heewon from South Korea. I'm a graduate of the HKU Conservatory's Jazz & Pop department, majoring in jazz piano, though alongside that, I've continued studying classical piano, as well as composition and arranging.

For over 6 years, I've taught students ranging from young children (6 to 7 years old) to adults in their 50s and beyond, covering genres from jazz and pop to classical and new age, along with music theory. I've also performed extensively in both South Korea and the Netherlands, at festivals, jazz bars, and government related events, playing not only jazz standards but my own arrangements and original compositions.

I believe music is something we simply can't live without today. It surrounds us everywhere we go, woven into daily life. That's exactly why piano makes such a wonderful hobby: it's approachable, deeply rewarding, and a great way to relieve stress. How amazing is it to be able to play the music that lives in your head?

My lessons are open to all skill levels and are held in English or basic Dutch. Before we begin, I always start with a consultation to understand what you want out of piano, your goals, interests, and preferred style, and build lessons and materials around that.

Tailor made lessons suited to your level and goals:
- For beginners, we'll cover basic piano technique, fundamental music theory, and sheet music reading.
- For intermediate and advanced students, lessons are shaped around your specific needs and wishes (for example improvisation, accompaniment, arranging, and more).

All learning materials and documents are prepared by me.
