This class is for you if you want to: - learn how to play the violin - understand music better - learn how to practice - have fun playing music - develop your skills - keep yourself challenged The lessons can be in English, Dutch, or Polish. (I am still learning Dutch so keep that in mind).

Alethea
Violin Lessons for children, adults, or anyone who wants to learn the violin!
I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

Athanasia
Piano Lessons with Experienced Music Instructor, All Levels Welcome
With a lifelong passion for music, I bring a diverse background to my teaching, ranging from classical piano to jazz, rock, and beyond. My experience includes playing various instruments and performing in bands, orchestras, and chamber music ensembles. Currently pursuing a Master’s with a focus on chamber music, I am dedicated to sharing my enthusiasm for collaborative music-making with my students. Whether you’re interested in exploring different genres or refining your skills, I offer a personalized approach tailored to your goals. My lessons are designed to be engaging and flexible, accommodating learners of all ages and levels. For young children, I use playful, interactive methods to spark creativity and build a strong musical foundation. For adults, I offer targeted instruction that aligns with your interests and aspirations. Additionally, I provide online lessons, utilizing digital tools to ensure a high-quality, effective learning experience from anywhere. My aim is to create a supportive and inspiring environment where every student can thrive and enjoy their musical journey.

Luca
One-on-one lessons in classical piano playing. Old or modern music, everything is possible!
I have been playing classical piano for 14 years. Obviously a lot solo, but also in ensembles, as an accompanist for flutists, violinists, clarinetists and singers. I was also a paid rehearsal director and pianist for a music theater company for a while and I played concerts in an orchestra. More importantly, I also enjoy teaching! Whether you are just starting out or have been working for some time, together we can tinker with your technique and execution.

Hernan
Berklee College of Music Graduate offers private lessons of Guitar, Harmony & Improvisation in Utrecht
The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject. Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

Eliorah
Instrumental performance: Flute, recorder and piano
I offer a holistic, well-rounded music education for all ages and abilities. The training I provide is tailored towards the students personal learning objectives and goals, some of these include solo performance, improvisation, playing in an ensemble and composition. My approach combines conventional and alternative teaching methods, such as reading music, playing by ear, solfeggio, the suzuki method and mindfulness. The three aspects I prioritize in my lessons are imagination, experimentation and creativity. My method focuses on understanding and expanding the students' musical capacities by means of an integrative approach that includes physical training, technique and comprehension.

Valeryia
Violin lessons for children and adults + music theory ;)
Hello, everyone! I'm Val, and I'm a violinist. I also enjoy teaching and am ready to share my expertise of master the violin with both kids and adults 🎶 I began my music education in Minsk, and later, I earned a Bachelor's and Master's degree in music at KULeuven in Belgium.

Philip
Music theory, music history, solfège, backgrounds
If you want to prepare for the conservatory or university music study, contact me and I will help you prepare for the entrance exam. Do you want to experience more as a concert goer in music? Knowledge of musical forms and history can add a lot. With a few lessons there is much more to experience! My name is Philip. I work as a musicologist and music teacher. Studies include conservatory (piano and organ) and Music Sciences at Utrecht University and Amsterdam.

Ana
Violin lessons for everyone. You don't need to be able to read music to play the violin!
I am Ana Marquez (23 years old), violinist and music teacher from Spain based in the Netherlands, last May I completed my studies at the HKU Utrecht Conservatory. I started my musical education at the age of 6 in Málaga, my birthplace. I followed the Suzuki method from an early age, but I am also familiar with other methods such as the Paul Roland method or the Yehudi Menuhin method. Throughout my musical career I have been inspired and influenced by many great musicians who have guided and taught me. What I hope to offer my students is the ability to expand their vision and love for music, helping them find the music they want to make, play and experience. A technical side is being developed, but a creative, executive and musical treatment will also be present in my lessons. From classical to jazz. My goal is to show everyone how beautiful music can be. And fun!

Aleksandra
Violin lessons for beginners and advanced students in Utrecht.
The violin is a beautiful instrument with a beautiful sound and a very large repertoire. Make an appointment for a lesson to try it out! In my lessons I pay a lot of attention to learning a good basic technique and relaxed posture. With this you can achieve much more and experience more fun playing the violin. We will also learn how to read music, train ear and the basics of music theory.

Dimos
Saxofoonles met Dimos, Utrecht Saxophone Lessons, Saxofoonles, Sax Les, saxofoon
Voor wie zijn de lessen? Onze saxofoonlessen zijn voor iedereen vanaf 8 jaar en ouder. De saxofoon is ergonomisch en gemakkelijk om je eerste noten te produceren, zodat je al snel plezier zult hebben in je eerste lessen. Of je nu een beginner bent die de basis wil leren, een gevorderde speler die zijn techniek wil verbeteren, of iemand die wil improviseren en samen muziek wil maken, de lessen worden op maat gemaakt om aan jouw wensen te voldoen! Saxles! De saxofoon, uitgevonden door Adolphe Sax, is een uniek instrument dat de warme en krachtige klanken van koper- en houtblazers combineert. Dankzij zijn veelzijdigheid voelt de saxofoon zich thuis in allerlei muziekstijlen, van blues tot klassiek. We spelen de muziek die jij leuk vindt, terwijl we ook werken aan belangrijke basisvaardigheden, een goede techniek en zelfs het verkennen van improvisatie. Plezier en creativiteit staan voorop! Daarnaast is er de mogelijkheid om, zodra je wat hebt geleerd, aan te sluiten bij onze saxofoongroep. Samen muziek maken is niet alleen leuk, maar ook inspirerend!

Stelios
Electric and acoustic guitar for all levels and all styles!
Learn guitar with me! I'm an experienced educator and a musician that has struggled himself with learning music, and working on the field. We can work from any level that you might be and make music and guitar learning fun and interesting! As a working musician for many years I have experience in a lot of music genres and styles, so I think we can explore anything that you're interested in, in a very deep and detailed level!

Alberto
Trombone lessons in Utrecht with Alberto. One of the MOST VERSATILE instruments!
Playing the trombone is so exciting. Many genres to explore! Are you looking to start learning the trombone? Perhaps you already play for some years but want to improve your technique, breathing skills, or learn a new genre? I am Alberto, and I will help you achieve your musical goals with a tailor-made program. My approach is to find suitable music for your technical and expressive level and work specifically on the challenges that it represents. Music is for everyone! Kids and adults Perhaps you want to surprise your couple playing a bossa-nova. Or maybe you want to become the next solo trombone at the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Everyone has different goals when playing the trombone, it is my job to help you achieve them. If you don't have clear objectives yet, I will be guiding you and exploring the possibilities of trombone playing with you. Also, especially for kids, I can help you find a nice pBone. They are lightweight plastic trombones made with great quality and available in different colours! Good technique, and a lot of fun The most important lesson I have learned in my career is that making good music is only possible when you enjoy the process. Of course, good technical skills are crucial but studying exercises that you find boring is not the best way up to proficiency. Instead, finding your unique best approach to improve your skills will get you to the moon! For improving your tempo awareness, would you practice with a metronome or would you rather use a drumbeat sample? Your health is important! Body awareness and breathing techniques Not only wind players benefit from doing sport, acquiring good posture habits, and being aware of their breath. It helps everyone in every single aspect of their lives. A good breathing technique will let you play easily, run for a longer period of time, or sleep better at night. On the other hand, body posture awareness helps with productivity and saves money on the fysio. Life hacks that you cannot miss! Improvisation and open-mindedness That very feeling of creating art on the spot. Only a few experiences can relate to it. When we explore and create, our flow state gets triggered. We are fully immersed in the activity and the world surrounding us vanishes. If you like, we will go on a journey discovering new emotions, colours, sounds, harmonies, textures, styles, genres. And improvising on them. Let's get creative! Technology in music. Recording and producing Let's face it, we are in the 21st century and the possibilities of technology are endless in the audiovisual field. Recording for auditions, producing and releasing your first single, live looping, use of effects... You can learn all that with me. Are you curious? Book your lesson now! Ok but, how will my lessons look like? Breathing practice is one of the best ways to start warming up. It will take the first 5 minutes of your lesson and your body will be prepared to start playing. Then, we would go into working on your specific goals. Perhaps, we are practicing music that demands improvement on the higher register, maybe we are working out different scales for improvisation, or it might be the case that you want to discover a new genre and go deep into it. Reading music, ear training, phrasing, music theory, buzzing and embouchure position, articulations (legato, staccato, accents), dynamics... These are only an indication of what we might work on. The final minutes of your lesson will be the moment to relax. We can get creative, play some tunes together, improvise, or even talk about a specific topic like musicality, art, creativity, technique, theory, or the music industry for instance. Group lessons and ensembles Making music alone is fun, but playing with people brings it to the next level! If you like the idea, I will bring you together with other fellow students for technique workshops, jam sessions, duo with piano, or whatever other activity we might find interesting for you. When and where I offer flexibility in my schedule so your trombone lessons fit into your agenda. I can come to your place, or perhaps you prefer visiting my teaching room in Utrecht. I will have some coffee or tea waiting for you. Online trombone classes Online has become a new trend. I will help you set up your equipment and focus on what is important, music. Book a lesson now! Alberto, the eclectic brass player based in Utrecht I am a brass performer and teacher that has performed in classical and modern music ensembles for more than 15 years. During this time, I attended innumerable masterclasses and had great fun in various professional experiences such as performing at Tomorrowland, an avant-garde music festival in Malta, or the great symphonic masterpieces with symphonic orchestras in Spain and the Netherlands. I hold a bachelor's and a master's degree in music performance and a master's degree in music education during my official studies in Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. Nowadays, you can still find me teaching brass in the Utrecht area, composing and producing my own music at home, playing tuba with a symphonic orchestra, trombone in a reggae band, or improvising trumpet over a techno track.
