I have a background of 7 years of classical piano and I also have been studing and playing Jazz (drums) for the past 8 years of my life (currently finishing my studies in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

My goal is to teach people with no experience in music or drums and want to learn the basics of music theory, solfège and drums but also to more experienced students who want to improve their technique, coordination, sound, groove, etc.

I can also teach different musical genres on the drums, depending on the taste of the student

About Me

I was born in Lisbon, Portugal, on 1994 (25 years) and since I can recall I always had a passion for music and musical instruments. At a very young age I started to have lessons of classical piano in one of the most prestigious school of Portugal and I now really appreciate the impact that my first teacher had on me to keep me motivated and passionate for music. I also had experience with teachers that didn't know how to do this at all and that almost killed my interest in music. All of these years as a student made me reflect on what are the best aspects that a music teacher should have and I believe this is important for my own teaching.

After saying this, my goal is tho have dynamic lessons where we share our passions about music and at the same time I will work on the aspects that you need to improove on the drums. In my lessons, I will also explain a bit of basic notation, theory and reading as well because I really believe these are some of the most important tools to develop as a drummer and musician.

I can teach the lessons in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
For younger students the lessons will be of 30 minutes.

Education

I started my musical journey with a private teacher when I was 8 years old (classical piano)

At the age of 10 I was admited on the "Escola de Música do Conservatório Nacional" wich is the oldest conservatorium in Portugal and of the most famous. I did 5 years in this school.

At the age of 16 I started my Jazz and Drums studies in the "Escola de Jazz Luiz Villas-boas" wich is the school of the oldest Jazz Club still active in Europe, "Hot Clube Portugal". I studied for 4 years in this school.

At the age of 21 I started my Bachelor in the prestigious Conservatorium van Amsterdam and i am now finishing the 4th and final year.

Experience / Qualifications

My years of classical studies were my beginning of understanding music and during these 7 years I had several auditions/performances that made me develop my performance skills.

When I started to play drums at the age of 16 I was alredy playing live with a local rock band and we did concerts in bars, festivals, etc.

But it's as Jazz drummer that my carreer as been more active.
I have been active in the Amsterdam scene but also in Spain and Portugal.

Eduardo
Saxophone, Clarinet, Piano, Impro and Music Theory lessons for all ages and levels, physically & Online by a Music Master graduate!
Hi! My name is Eduardo, a professional musician and long-time music teacher. I am offering physical and online lessons in Music Theory, Improvisation and Instrument. #Harmony #Composition #Solfège #Saxophone #Clarinet #Piano Lessons are addressed to every student profile, regardless of age, level of expectations (no matter if it is seen as a hobby or rather if the individual is getting prepared for official Conservatory auditions, etc.). We will play and/or focus on what the student is willing to deepen into (whatever music style they are interested in, more theoretical aspects or rather practical ones), trying to get the maximum profit of the employed time, and prioritising the actual learning of the person as the main factor for their motivation. I obtained my Jazz Music Master's program at the Prince Claus Conservatoire of Groningen in June 2022. Previously, in 2018, I graduated from my music Bachelor's at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona (Spain).

Yammy
Private Music Lessons for Piano, Violin and Erhu (Chinese violin)
As a Cambridge University graduate in the Faculty of Education, I am delighted to have settled down in the Netherlands since September 2019. I started piano at the age of 5, and music has been an important part of my life ever since. Classically trained as a violinist, I picked up another instrument named Erhu (Chinese violin) and became a professional performer. I am experienced in teaching both children and adults, from different cultural backgrounds. Also, I have been actively involved in both Western and Chinese orchestra since high school. Thanks to my years of experience in being an orchestra member and soloist, I am also familiar with orchestral music. As a humble music therapist, I am passionate about music and believe in the power of music. I trust that music is in everybody and I respect every student's individuality and thus tailor my teaching methods to develop my students' full potential. I started teaching in 2009 and most students put their trust in me when they first decided to learn an instrument. I also enjoy exploring the world of music with students with learning disabilities. I am proud to say, my students, aged from 5 to 60, are enthusiastic in playing the instrument they have chosen and keen to improve their skills following my advice. I adopt a flexible approach in teaching - I believe every student is unique and my job is to develop the strengths and improve the weaknesses. I put a lot of emphasis on a solid foundation in my teaching. For young children, I tend to use a more interactive approach to explain complicated music theories, yet strict in the fundamentals such as posture and rhythm. For adults, I am always happy to discuss with them my lesson plan and choose the best exercises and songs that suit their music interests and needs. For my students who would like to take exams, I am happy to tailor the lessons based on their progress. I believe in the quality of learning and understanding rather than the number of pieces that they learn. Many beginners and their parents have put their trusts in me and achieved distinction in their first ABRSM exam. I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and a native speaker of Cantonese Chinese. I am happy to travel and travel costs will be added on the top of the standard tuition fee. *Proof of qualifications avaliable upon requests.
