Violin lessons, solfège and improvisation for every level.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
You can come to me for violin lessons, folklore, jazz (theory), improvisation techniques and ensemble coaching.
Together we will look for your music and creativity. I make a lot of use of (together) playing and improvisation, technique is a guide for what you want to learn.
Getting to know the violin for young and old, playing with Balkan ornaments, improvising by ear or deepening in harmony or chord schemes, these are all possible subjects in my lessons.
My lessons are 30 or 45 minutes (not strict).

I have been teaching music and violin for three years now to children and adults, privately or in groups.

Clases de canto en Amsterdam Jazz, Pop, Bossa Nova
Mi enfoque para las clases de canto se basa en desarrollar y mejorar la voz de manera técnica y expresiva, mientras disfrutamos del proceso de aprendizaje. 1. Conciencia Corporal: Comenzamos trabajando la postura, la respiración y la relajación para preparar el cuerpo como instrumento vocal. Teniendo mayor concierncia de nuestro cuerpo, tendremos mayor conciencia del uso de nuestra voz y nuestro canto será mas natural y fluido. 2. Calentamiento Vocal: Realizamos ejercicios específicos para activar la voz, incluyendo escalas, arpegios y técnicas de resonancia. Estos ejercicios ayudan a mejorar el rango vocal, la afinación y la proyección. 3. Trabajo de Repertorio: Elije una canción que te guste (o la elegimos juntos) y la exploramos en profundidad. Desarrollamos la técnica vocal aplicándola directamente a la interpretación, trabajando en la expresión, la dicción y el estilo musical. 4. Desarrollo Personalizado: Cada clase se adapta a tus necesidades y objetivos. El progreso se mide a través de canciones que reflejen tus intereses musicales, garantizando una experiencia única y motivadora. Mi objetivo es crear un espacio seguro y creativo donde puedas desarrollar tu voz, ganar confianza y disfrutar del arte de cantar.

Lucas
Learn how to play the violin at a beginners level or expand your skills at a higher level with fun and seriousness involved
My name is Lucas and I am 22 years old. I currently have a grade 8 in violin with the ABRSM curriculum, and have been playing the violin for over 15 years. While learning the violin, I have always been taught in a private manner, with a teacher just to myself so I would know exactly what kind of atmosphere you would need to learn quickly. The lessons I would provide are for any level of students, from a person that is just beginning or is maybe just interested in playing the violin to a bit more experienced players that are looking to improve their skills. I will make sure that you always have some work to do between lessons so that you can also improve your skills on your own and show me what you have learnt or practiced in between our lessons.

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessons

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup. I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Gina
Piano lessons for children in professional piano studio. Specialized in beginners/intermediates 6-12 years old. Based in Rijswijk.
Are you looking for piano lessons for your child(ren) but don't know which teacher to trust? The first music classes for a young student are always the most important, often determining whether the child will love the instrument or not, so they require special attention. Pretty scary, I imagine! So, hello there! My name is Gina, and I am a specialized piano teacher in music education for children, with more than 7 years of experience teaching young pupils. I have worked with dozens of piano beginners, ensuring they have the best start in their musical journey. By following various teaching methods that have been proven to positively impact children's overall music education, I make sure that my pupils remain interested and learn a lot from the very beginning! You can book a first lesson where you—the parents—can also be present during the class. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn something new too! See you soon! Gina

Piano / Music Theory Lessons for All Levels - Recent Graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music
Geneva - Lausanne - Morges Courses in English, French, Italian (native languages) - German (European level B2) As a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, I offer with great enthusiasm, excellent methodology, and a strong desire to share my passion, piano and music theory lessons for all levels. 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!
