Guitar lessons for Complete Beginners & Intermediate levels

Hi I'm Daniel, an enthusiastic and dedicated guitar teacher who loves meeting his students' own goals. By combining my 6 years of experience in teaching guitar with my students' own interests, I help my students make progress in the most engaging way possible.

I provide my students with a grounding in the basics of technique and theory to make sure they develop good habits, enabling them to make use of the near-infinite resources online when they want to play and learn more in their free time and later in life. I believe a good teacher is one who makes their students able to go on independently and with joy and passion for their instrument.

Learn your favourite songs, demystify music theory, learn how songs are written (and get help writing your own), learn to play songs by ear, explore a range of genres... I look forward to helping you with your own musical journey!

Extra information

In your first lesson the only thing I need from you is to think about what you want to achieve with the guitar, then we'll make a plan for how I can help you do this!

About Me

From London, I started playing guitar age 7. After school I moved to Amsterdam age 18 to study, after which I became a guitar teacher. I've fallen in love with the job and see myself doing it for many, many years to come.

After starting with classical guitar as a child I moved to the electric guitar to play more rock and metal as a teenager, and through my 20s I widened my musical interests and abilities with acoustic, pop, blues, folk and jazz.

I speak Dutch to a very good level so I can offer to teach in Dutch. Many parents of my younger students prefer for their child to practise their English with a native speaker during their music lessons.

Piano lessons: What about learning how to play the piano?
Piano is the instrument used by the romantics to make their most beautiful music, but also by the most experimental and modern composers to create their craziest music wonders. Isn't it a great instrument to play? With more than 5 years of experience teaching in music schools and 15 years as a private piano teacher, I developed an efficient and "fun-but-efficient" way to teach how to play the instrument. Every student is different, which means the way to play and learn shall be different, making every single lesson special and rewarding. I also offer the possibility of teaching in groups: if you want to know more about this option. Hope to see you soon in our class!

Jim
Electronic Music Production (Ableton Live, Synthesis, Mixing, mastering, Sound Design, Composition, Live Performance, DJ, Coaching)
I am an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the renowned Rockacademie in Tilburg, Netherlands, and I have a music studio in the heart of Amsterdam. Working under the name Malvae, I write, sing, produce, mix, master, and perform my own music, enabling me to provide the entire process under one roof. My journey has led me to the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA on nr.17, features in films like the upcoming documentary 'King of the Streets', directed by an award-winning filmmaker, and even a Netflix series. With over 7 million streams to date, I am now excited to share my knowledge and experience with a few dedicated students. Earlier this year, I had the honour of headlining my own show at the Melkweg in Amsterdam, showcasing a self-built live set accompanied by immersive visuals. I also had the pleasure of teaching at Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum. In addition to my artistry, I work as an audio engineer for radio, podcast series, create custom music for film, and offer mixing and mastering services for various clients. I also have experience working on promotion plans and collaborating with PR agencies, which has helped me successfully build my own fanbase of over 10,000 Spotify followers through targeted advertising on Meta. I truly believe that everyone has the potential to discover their distinct sound if they are willing to put in the work. Whether you are just starting your musical journey or looking to dive deeper into the creative process, I invite you to book a lesson with me. Together, we can explore where you currently stand and how I can help you take your music to the next level. I can show you how to work with analog gear, as I have a collection of synthesizers, including the Prophet 6, Moog DFAM, Minitaur, and Ableton Push 3. If you're interested in performing live, we can even translate your music into a live set using Ableton Live and work with Resolume to bring your sound to life visually, creating an engaging experience for your audience. My music often incorporates samples I record from my travels around the world. About 90% of what you hear in my productions comes from these field recordings, which I manipulate and blend with synthesizers and my voice. I found my sound this way, and I want to guide you on your journey to discovering yours. Don’t worry; we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to find it. I’ll show you the tools to recreate or transform any sounds you already have, helping your productions stand out. Of course, we can also simply talk about your music or receive feedback, whatever you feel is best for you. My expertise includes, but is not limited to, Ableton Live, mixing, mastering, composition, sound design, industry insights, live performance, synthesis, music theory, and audio engineering. While I primarily work in Ableton Live, my knowledge is applicable to any program you use. Lessons will be tailored to your individual needs, and I offer sessions both online and in-person at my studio. I believe in providing a consistent and supportive experience, no matter the format. For online lessons, I use a program that allows me to listen to your music or projects in HD quality through a plugin you load onto your master channel, ensuring we can collaborate effectively in real time. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you grow as an artist!

MONTESSORI APPROACH TO TRANSVERSE FLUTE AND MUSIC THEORY
Would you like to learn the transverse flute with a new method? This class is inspired to the Abreu method, the musical version of the Montessori teaching approach. During the last 2 years, I have applied the Abreu method to countless scholars, with ages ranging from 8 to 70. Results have been amazing and I really hope you can be the next! Here's what makes it special: - A playful approach! While learning the rules and the discipline behind music, we will boost your progress with a lot of fun. Thanks to the Abreu approach, we can master your solfeggio and play classical tracks at the same time. - Teaching materials suitable for scholars of every level. Through many years of experience, I have collected an extremely wide range of sheets and exercises. - During the first lesson, we schedule our work in mini-courses. This way you know exactly how much you will pay and in return for what. - Everyone has potential and I am here to let you express it.

Shreyansh
Private Drum Lessons - Jazz/Funk/Rock - (Beginner - Advanced)
We will talk about your goals and together we will figure out what you exactly need to level up. I will design a practice schedule for you with suitable exercises that you personally enjoy and find fun, cos. Hey, music is supposed to be a stress buster, but that being said you gotta work to get better at anything. We will also talk about how it is to be a professional musician in the current music scene, and what skills apart from drumming are needed to be a musician. I have been teaching privately for the past 3 years, with happy students, and I am so glad that I am being able to help others move further in this journey of drums and life. Let's hang out soon, Cheers!

Eloi
Drum lessons (individual, ensemble playing, ear training, theory and more!)
The drumset is one of the most important and powerful instruments in a music ensemble. It does not only provide the rhythm and groove foundation for all the other instruments - it also defines the sound of the band, the character of the songs, the volume... just like an orchestra conductor. In these lessons (which are of course personalized and open depending on the interests of the student) we will work beyond the physical/mechanical aspect of the drums (technique, coordination, etc) into the musical aspect, so we will spend some time listening and analyzing music together, working on ear training and music theory from a practical point of view.

Gwendoline
Private lessons flute - music theory - theory
I am 21 years old and I am currently a flute student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I finished my studies in conservatories in France and obtained a license in music and musicology at the Sorbonne (Paris IV). I offer personalized lessons meeting the desires and ambitions of everyone, from the simple beginner to the confirmed musician. For the flute lessons, I offer exercises for sound, technique, adapted pieces. During music theory lessons, I can give tips for learning to read keys, rhythms, and offer dictations. Studying the theory allows you to learn to recognize chords, to calculate a score, to analyze the structure of a piece, to recognize the style from musical elements. It is possible to combine several lessons, for example half an hour of flute then a quarter of an hour of music theory.

Guitar lessons for beginners or intermediates. Pop,rock,blues...
Guitar is not a hard instrument to learn, and does not require years of experience. The key is in learning and practicing usefull exercises, and basic body and finder positions. My classes will consist of such basic steps, followed by songs that the student chooses to learn.

Maya
Composition Lesson for children and adults in Amstrdam
Composition lessons are for anyone who wishes to compose music, for any instrument, emsemble and/or electronics music. My teaching method combines various approaches and styles, supporting practice with theoretical knowledge, and most important developing creativity and helping the student in making their imagionary visions come real. For each student a different palate of tools is offered, according to the student's musical wishes and ambitions. I teach the basis of western-music composition - theory, harmony, counterpoint, score-reading, solfege, rhythm, analysis and more. Further I suggest broad overview of world, jazz, pop, new/contemporary music, various styles in electronic music (popular and experimental), improvisatory compositions, graphic notation, text and game pieces, music for theater, film and dance and interdicsiplinary works which combine music with other art fields.
