Wilma
Cello lessons for beginners and advanced students.
My name is Wilma, and I have been playing the cello for most of my life. I am passionate about teaching, and have a lot of experience with it. In my lessons, there is a good balance between technique and musicality. Knowing how to (technically) play the cello is important for being able to express yourself on it, and making beautiful music is the reason we play! I involve my students in the process of investigating problems and experimenting with solutions. This gives people a better understanding of the challenges, and motivates them to engage with those. It is particularly interesting that every person has a different way of learning and different needs, and I enjoy tailoring my approach to each student's personality, requirements and tastes, so she or he can optimally learn. Above all, I love inspiring people, seeing them discover their own aptitude for music and growing as musicians. Playing the cello is a wonderful and fun experience and I heartily welcome anyone who would like to come on this adventure! I teach in Amsterdam on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, in Zaandam in Thursdays, and in Utrecht on Saturdays.

Sasha
Cello teaching for beginner students who are interested in beginning or continuing studies.
My aim is to provide an easily accessible, yet fun, and rewarding experience for anyone that is interested or curious about learning the cello. I hope to give exciting and suitably challenging lessons which will create and sustain motivation and determination. I will give all-rounded lessons and will always be as helpful, supportive and as encouraging as I can be at all times!

Bernardo
Cello voor indereen !! Master student at the Conservatorium teaches cello
Learning to play the cello, at any desired level, is becoming part of a big international community of people that love this beautiful instrument. In a city with the biggest cello fest in the world, Cello Biennale Amsterdam, why not give it a try and become a player of, what might very well be, the best instrument in the world...;) I am currently a 2nd year Master student at Conservatorium van Amsterdam, studying cello under the famous cellist Pieter Wispelwey. I am willing to teach at any level or age so don’t be shy! Learning cello can be as much fun, or as serious, as you want it to be! Hope to see you soon! Bernardo

Singing, Music, Music Theory, Children's Music, prepare auditions and performances
You'll learn how to use the voice in the proper way, starting by your natural speech and developing it to find your own sound. I have experience in both Pop and Jazz styles (a Bachelor in Jazz Singing and a degree in Jazz Composition), so it's possible to study songs from both this repertoires. I also give Music Theory Lessons, to make the student develop his/her own style and musical sensibility and, in the case of Jazz, to know how to improvise on different chord changes and jazz styles.

Jaime
Clarinet and solfege lessons in English and/or Spanish
Hello, My name is Jaime and I am a Spanish clarinet player, composer, and teacher. With over years of experience playing the clarinet and having immersed myself in teaching for the last few years, I am currently completing my professional studies in clarinet and composition at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with professors Arno Piters (Royal Concertgebouw Orkest) and Hans Colbert (Residentie Orkest Den Haag). I see teaching not only as a way to pass on my (still growing) knowledge but also as a way to learn along with my students in a cheerful and inspiring way. During our classes, we will learn the basics of clarinet playing, as well as how to use these basics to build your own way of playing and learn simple songs, intermediate pieces, or world-class concertos! If clarinet is not your thing but you want to learn music theory I can also help you with personalized classes to suit your needs. Maybe you want to learn basic notation reading or solfege, or perhaps you want to audition for a renowned institution as the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Whatever your need is I will find a way to articulate a plan we can follow so you can achieve success on your musical adventures. Aside from lessons on the students' place of residence, online lessons via skype or zoom can also be scheduled at a reduced price. I hope this helps you understand how I work and the way I could help you, but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me! Kind regards, Jaime

Having completed 12 years of studies in Piano and Music Theory, as well as courses in Musical Training and Sight-Reading, I want to introduce this extraordinary instrument to both beginners and advanced students with the same passion that my teachers (including Sodi Braide, who studied at the Paris National Conservatory of Music (CNSM), and Stéphanie Aubert) used to bring me to my current level—performing in major concerts and competitions with first prize at the CMG. As a mechanical engineering student at EPFL, I can adapt the lessons in a fun yet rigorous way, to captivate young beginners. At the same time, my background allows me to expand and deepen the pianistic knowledge of advanced pianists. I look forward to sharing my passion with you!
