Trumpet lessons - work on basic technique, your favourite melodies and learn to improvise!Welcome to my trumpet lessons, where a passion for music meets expert guidance. I'm Tal and I graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2018. I bring 8 years of teaching experience to aspiring musicians of all ages. In our sessions, we'll embark on a comprehensive journey, honing in on essential aspects such as breathing techniques, instrument flexibility, and the art of improvisation. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate player, we'll craft a personalized approach to elevate your skills, fostering not just technical proficiency but a deep love for the trumpet and the joy of musical expression.
Federica
Singing, Music, Music Theory, Children's Music, prepare auditions and performancesYou'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.
Dominika
Singing lessons and vocal technique - learn to understand and master your voice!During my singing lessons we’ll focus on your vocal technique to increase your vocal range, build vocal strength and stamina, improve your breathing and gain control over your instrument . We’ll work on multiple musical and vocal styles, sing high and low notes with ease, and most importantly, we’ll focus on finding your own voice while having fun doing it.
All you need for these lessons is passion for singing and a song of your choice. During the first lesson we’ll discuss your goals and wishes and have a little try at a few vocal exercises. Next, we’ll work on the song of your choice with the focus on the things you’d like to improve. After the lesson you’ll receive a little summary of your strengths, focus points and a plan with how we’ll work to achieve your goals. There will always be a small homework or exercise you’ll need to work on at home to help you achieve what we planned.
All levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced!

Music Mixing Engineering for All levels - Learn how to get the best sounds from your recordings.Mixing a recorded music is the art to connect musical ideas to emotions.
Whether it is your music or someone else’s recordings, I’ll help you develop your skills in order to give the perfect “make up” to any song.
But what exactly is Music Mixing Engineering?
Imagine that you recorded drums, bass, keyboard, guitars and vocal.
Now you have to put everything together and be able to listen to all the instruments with perfect sonic separation. You need to match the emotional intention of the composer to the emotions of the listener.
The decision to make the voice louder or not, bring the guitars to attention only in a specific moment of the song, specify the type of reverberation and so many other decisions is the responsibility of the one working on the mix.
I’ll teach you all the 7 main steps for every successful mix and work in-depth each of those according to your development or previous knowledge.
I’ll fine tune the lessons specifically for your needs.
We can work with your recordings, but if you don't have one, don't worry.
I'll bring multi-tracks recordings of different genres for you to learn and practice along.
Common Questions:
- Do I need to be a musician to mix a music?
Although it certainly helps, you don't need to know how to play any instrument.
- I don't have monitors or an acoustically treated room, can I learn anyway?
For sure yes.
You can use headphone and simple speakers like the one from your notebook, for example.
Once you'll understand the techniques and develop your hearing, you move to the next level.
- Which software (DAW) should I use?
If you're starting now, I recommend Reaper or Logic Pro.
If you're already experienced, any DAW of your preference.
Book now and start learning from beginner to Pro the art of mixing.

Clarinet and solfege lessons in English and/or SpanishHello,
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

PIANO LESSONSLearning should be fun and efficient! That is my philosophy in teaching the piano!
As a versatile music professional my aim is to teach not only skills in piano playing but also music knowledge and music theory, depending on the level of the student.
I am a pianist and piano teacher from Finland with a ten year experience in teaching piano in a music school children. I have a Master's degree from the prestigious music university Sibelius Academy (Finland) in piano performance, as well as a Master's degree in Music research (University of Helsinki, Finland).
Currently I am on leave of absence of my permanent lecturer's position in a Finnish music school because I am working on my PhD degree. However when living in Amsterdam I am looking forward to teach a few students!
I teach in English.
Jag undervisar också på svenska som är mitt modersmål.
Opetan myös suomeksi!

Improvisation for Guitar on the Minor Pentatonic ScaleHave you been curious how guitarists can come up with a solo on the spot and play for what seems like hours? That is exactly the point of this lesson.
We will focus on you learning a few basic scales so that you can improvise over most rock and blues songs. Progressively, we will build your finger muscle strength, and correct techniques for playing.
I have taught past students and got them to successfully learn the basics of improvisation that lead them to develop their own soloing style.
This improvisation course is made for beginners.
Teemu
Piano and theory lessons for all levels - Pop / Rock / Jazz / RnB / Classical / EtcStudents of all levels are welcome! We start from where you are and I'll structure the lessons around your interests.

Lessons can be had at my place (Sloterdijk), online via Zoom, or at the student's location (depending on distance)

Ben
Drum Lessons in a Boathouse in English, Hungarian, German & SerbianMy name is Ben (26), and I'm a certified drum teacher with about 15 years of experience behind the kit. Previously I have studied jazz drums at Kunstuniversitat of Graz. Currently I'm teaching at multiple institutions in Amsterdam such as: Lucky Beat Music Club, United Pop, British School of Amsterdam.
My classes take place on my boathouse at Weesperzijde, however if you wish I can also come to your place. I can guarantee you that after your first lesson you already will be able to play a simple rock beat!
I can teach you the following:
- Groove
- Speed & Stamina
- Technique
- Music Theory
- Music Production (Beat making) in Ableton
- Controlling dynamics
- DJing
- Body Percussion
- Reading music
- Composition
And much more...
When it comes to teaching, creative lessons and positive energy are my pillars. I do approach every student differently, making sure I am able to show them what is possible on the instrument. I certainly believe that everyone is capable of learning to play the very basics after a short period of time. I do think that since drumming goes back all the way to the primal ages, we all have the drummer inside us, it just hasn't awakened yet. I want to be that person who will awake the drummer inside of who is wanting to learn. I feel fortunate that I'm able to do what I've studied and get to live my passion. There is nothing better than to see a student improve, develop and see when they finally start to "get it".
Parisa
Piano Lessons: Performance, Classical and Modern MusicYou will start to enjoy playing the piano both during and outside of the time of the class. You will learn how to be able to perform in a way that inspires your audience. I will teach you the basic music theory without going way deep into it because this is a performance class but you will learn what you need to excel in your performance. Additionally, I will teach you the principles of aesthetics of playing the piano. The repertoire that I focus on is mostly Western modern and Classical music, but we can also work on some famous Persian and Turkish pieces if you like. Of course, you are also always welcome to bring your favorite pieces to the class. Contact me for availability.

Solfège & Hearing Training - Music Theory Preparation CoursesSolfège is one of these indispensable tools that contributes to the development of musical hearing. With that a basis can be formed for the general musical understanding.
Through my role as a student assistant of various theory subjects (including solfège) at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, I have had the opportunity to teach students with many different ages and backgrounds.
My approach:
• The lessons are always in line with the environment and the theoretical knowledge that the student already has.
• Creative thinking is used in the lessons. This is done, for example, by improvising melodies or coming up with a second voice based on feeling.
• I also encourage critical thinking and listening. I do this by not giving too much pre-chewed information, but by an experiential approach.
• In practice I use different solfège methods (tonic sol-fa, or using numbers in a scale). My experience has shown that not every system is ideal for everyone. That is why I am flexible in my approach and I will always coordinate this
on my students.
