I will help students strengthen and consolidate their technical skills on the instrument, but we will also have a lot of fun in playing music!

Piano lessons or music lessons adapted to your level and interestsCustomized lessons:
Teaching beginning children, beginning adults, or experienced students are completely different experiences that require completely different methods.
A constant focus in all cases is to ensure that students learn notation and music reading, which gives them some independence.
As a first step, I create a plan together with the student, depending on his or her personal goals, and supplement this with musical pieces that I think will complement the learning path.
Practical information:
I am available for online classes from August and at home from September 15, but I will not close schedules until the beginning of October.
If you have any questions or specific comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Pablo López
Improve your cello playing - Taught by Professional CellistHello!
My name is Pablo and I am a professional cellist.
In my 20+ years playing the cello I have been lucky to build an international career as a solo and orchestral musician in places like Bremen (Germany), Sweden (Göteborg), Spain (Malaga), and Belgium (Gent). I have 4+ years worth of experience teaching online/in person, in multiple countries, as well as a C1 Cambridge certificate of English. I also have a B1 level of Nederlands. I have music articles published as well.
My philosophy of teaching is to teach my students in a comprehensive way how to use their body 100% efficiently.
I will teach them how to play in the most natural way, getting rid of tensions and fears in the process. I will tackle this as cello technique, but I will also work on being expresive and how to make the cello sing.
Thank you for your time.

Everyone can sing! - singing lessons for all ages and levels from a classical singer --> Did you ever want to know how Paul Potts or Susan Boyle can sing like that?
-> Do you sing in a choir and want to improve your vocal skills?
-> Do you need a certain way to give your personality a voice, but don't know how?
-> Do you need help to prepare yourself for music exams or want to study singing and need someone to prepare your piece with?
I offer singing lessons in GERMAN and ENGLISH and NEDERLANDS
The three pillars of my teaching philosophy:
1. Body awareness
2. Enjoy yourself and your voice
3. Using the voice in the most healthy way!
I am a classically trained Voiceteacher from Germany and have sung as a concert soloist and in choirs for years and know what it means to come out of a rehearsal hoarse. We can prevent that.
I believe that everyone can sing and that everyone has musicality within them.
I'm excited to get to know you and your voice :)

Singing course and vocal coaching for those who want to learn to sing and who want to learn to use the voice betterNo, we don't think that being able to sing is absolutely necessary for actors. Not every actor or actress has the ambition to appear in a musical and not every series or film features singing. Still, vocal coaching is a good idea... whether you want to learn to sing or not!
With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress.
More info
Anyone who has ambitions as a singer or who wants to expand his or her skills to make it easier to land a role will soon end up taking singing lessons... but also those who have no intention of ever performing songs. can benefit greatly from vocal coaching.
You often have to be on set for a long time and then it is important to use your voice properly, so that it does not get tired and you can speak as powerfully after hours of recording as before. Finally, it is very useful to be able to put different effects on your voice. Just think of the raspy character of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the barking explanations of Samson, the full voice of Kabouter Plop or the grunted insults exchanged in The Chronicles of Sabrina. Judiciously used voice effects can not only add color to characters, they are sometimes essential or almost automatically arise from emotional moments. So being able to use them correctly and maintain control over them without damaging your vocal cords is essential.
What you learn
As is the case with almost all of our courses, we teach you techniques from different approaches. For our singing lessons, these are Speech Level Singing (SLS), Estill Voice Training (EVT) and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT).
Here are some things that will pass in review:
• The similarities and differences between the three major singing techniques
• Using support
• The larynx, lips, and other organs that help control voice production
• Add necessary twang
• Add air or not
• Different vocal modes (with CVT): neutral, curbing, overdrive and edge.
• Variety of voice effects including: creaking, distortion, grunting, rattling, screaming, vibrato and ornamentation
• For actors: relationship between voice color, effects and the playing of all kinds of characters
• For actors: the relationship between stem kle
Extras
• Help with the CV
• Assistance with admissions
• Help in choosing the right equipment
• Help with finding auditions
• Syllabus with pdf of the book Complete Vocal Technique
You can participate whenever you want!
