Enjoy the transverse flute, recorder or music theory lessons

From 58 C$ /h

Do you or your child want to play the flute? Or to learn how enjoyable can it be? You are most welcome!

Learning to play the instrument is an opportunity to enter the world of music and become a musician.
More importantly, you learn the joy of creating music by yourself.

I invite beginners as well as children or adults who have already had some experiences with playing and want to develope their skills.

I invite beginners, children and adults, as well as experienced players, to develop their skills.

I also offer lessons for duos or trios – two or three different recorders, flute and piano or guitar, or two flutes. In this case, we focus on the skills needed for ensemble playing and less on individual technique, so this option is not for absolute beginners. The cost per person for ensemble lessons will be lower.

How does a lesson with me look like?
It depends on your level and what we focus on, but we will certainly do some preparatory exercises. You will present what you have been preparing since last time, and we will work on some details. If there is time, we shall then try something new. We can also play duos together. A lesson last about an hour, or 45 minutes for younger pupils.

I can adjust the repertoire to your preferences, to your needs and to your level, but I shall also encourage you to learn some new and unfamiliar styles.
I like to use notated music in the process of learning, so that in the future you will feel comfortable about reading music, but we can also sometimes improvise, or play something you remember without notation.

Along the way, you will learn some music theory, which is necessary part of becoming a musician.

I also offer music theory lessons alone, if you wish.

About Me

I am more a partner in your individual development than somebody who would push you to be perfect in one style or one specific genre. It is up to you whether you want to develop fast and be challenged by a new more demanding music or just to enjoy playing even less complicated but giving you the pleasure of participating in creating music, if you want to have things thoroughly explained and analyzed or rather catch them intuitively.
Of course, I like to be precise and I pay a lot of attention to the basics, that allow you to enjoy your playing instead of struggling with the instrument and yourself, your body, in gaining the proper effect.

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!

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

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

Hi! I've been playing piano since I'm 6 years old. Over than 14 years I took classical lessons from 2 different piano virtuosos. Depending on your own set of goals, we can study classical or/and contemporary styles without compromising from technical study. Because, acquiring the perfect technic is as important as not being bored from the lessons by going too much pro on it :). Believe me, I'm speaking from the experience.

I'm great with kids and love to work with them. Don't get me wrong relatively older possible students of mine! I have vast resources for all ages and levels. And it's never too late to start learning anything.

I have my own piano in my place but the students' places are preferred if possible.

Who are the lessons for?
Our saxophone lessons are for everyone from 8 years and older. The saxophone is ergonomic and easy to produce your first notes, so you will soon enjoy your first lessons.

Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics, an advanced player looking to improve your technique, or someone looking to improvise and make music together, lessons are tailored to meet your needs!

Sax lessons!
Invented by Adolphe Sax, the saxophone is a unique instrument that combines the warm and powerful sounds of brass and woodwinds. Thanks to its versatility, the saxophone feels at home in all kinds of music styles, from blues to classical.

We play the music you like, while also working on important basic skills, good technique and even exploring improvisation. Fun and creativity are key!

In addition, there is the possibility, once you have learned something, to join our saxophone group. Making music together is not only fun, but also inspiring!

Learn guitar with me! I'm an experienced educator and a musician that has struggled himself with learning music, and working on the field. We can work from any level that you might be and make music and guitar learning fun and interesting! As a working musician for many years I have experience in a lot of music genres and styles, so I think we can explore anything that you're interested in, in a very deep and detailed level!

As a piano teacher, I ensure that you gain a solid technical foundation and learn to read sheet music, but also that you can enjoy making music right from the start. I would love to hear which direction you want to take—classical, pop, jazz—and then we will set course for your goal together.

Hi! I am a classically trained pianist and am graduating from the Utrecht Conservatory this year. My passion for the piano started at a young age: I started taking lessons when I was seven, after convincing my parents to enroll me.

From the age of thirteen, I started assisting my teacher and was already teaching younger students, from children as young as 3 to teenagers. As a result, I have built up extensive experience in teaching various ages and levels.

As a teacher, I am enthusiastic, patient, and have a positive attitude. My lessons are structured, but also fun and motivating, so that students can develop at their own pace while simultaneously enjoying playing.

I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate students in a friendly and supportive environment. I studied at the Conservatory of Bologna in Italy, where I focused on classical piano, music theory, rhythm, ear training, chamber music, and solo performance. I have a special passion for Baroque and Classical music, but I am happy to adapt the lessons to each student’s interests and goals. In my lessons, we can work on piano technique, reading music, interpretation, rhythm, ear training, and basic music theory.

With me, you'll play real music from your very first lesson, not endless drills. I hold a doctorate in composition and music theory and a master's in piano performance, so I don't just show you what to play, I explain why it works. You'll feel the difference: once you understand what you're doing, you practise faster and play with more conviction.

My lessons usually start with technique, then we get into your repertoire, classical, pop, jazz, or film music, whatever you're drawn to. If you're taking voice lessons, I'll accompany you live at the piano.

I teach everyone: from your very first note to conservatory level, from kids to adults picking it up for the first time. I taught at university level for years and now judge international music competitions so I also know exactly how to prepare you for Music exams and auditions because I know what the jury is listening for. I teach in English, having trained and performed across three continents for over 30 years and I bring all of that into every lesson.

Lets start working !
