I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

With 13 years of education and 6 years of teaching, I'm giving piano and music theory to students of all ages and different levels. In my lessons it's important for me to seek an individual approach as well as adjust to the student's level and personality traits. Depending on the student's previous experience we will learn and work on repertoire and develop skills a musician needs, such as notes reading, technique, understanding of music.

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

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.

Graduate in Art Education with an Emphasis in Music - Piano, I teach music classes focused on piano initiation, theory, musical grammar and intoned music theory. I do personalized virtual or in-person classes, I work on different musical genres, it is for all ages, I like to work on different types of learning because we all learn differently, it can be more visually, auditory or kinesthetic.
In my classes I use different didactics that help to better internalize music through body sensitivity and also creating a relationship with other artistic disciplines. 🎹🎶🎶🎹

I incorporate technical methods and practices to help you overcome the technical challenges that musical pieces may present, such as arpeggios, scales, tremolos, and rhythms, among others. I can also assist you in improving your speed and precision in executing these techniques with both your right and left hands.
Lessons are fully customized to your age, prior experience, learning style, and personal goals to ensure you achieve the best results.My aim is to make music enjoyable and stress-free, fostering an atmosphere that promotes confidence in their abilities. After each session, I provide personalized notes that outline key areas for improvement, helping students stay organized and focused on their practice with clear objectives. As a patient and encouraging instructor, I continuously refine my own skills through lessons, seminars, and collaboration with other music educators, ensuring that I provide the best possible education for my students.

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :)

For whom?
- Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing.
- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).
- Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge.
- Anyone who is curious about the language behind music.

What can you expect?
- Clear explanation, at your own pace.
- Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano.
- Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart.
- Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...).

About me
I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

Possible topics:
- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form theory and analysis (classical or pop).
- Rhythm, time signatures & tempo.
- Music theory for producers/songwriters.
- Songwriting.
- Preparation for exams or entrance tests.

Practical
- 1-on-1 lessons, online or live (if you don't live too far away).
- I provide materials, or we work with what you need.
- No prior knowledge required. Lessons adapted to your level.

🎶 Feel free to send me a message with your questions or goals. We'll see how I can best help you.

If your child is afraid of teachers, sometimes you the parent needs to teach the lessons yourself to your child.

Music is not intimidating as long as you know the basics and practical use and application using basic instruments.

This course is for parents (grandparents) who wants to teach their own child (grandchildren) Music themselves.

1 on 1 or online lessons, we can work this out.

This class introduces students to the fundamentals of playing the viola and violin in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. Students will learn how to properly hold and care for the instrument, develop basic bowing techniques, and begin reading simple music notation. Through guided exercises, rhythm practice, and easy melodies, participants will build foundational skills in tone production, posture, and musical expression.

The class also emphasizes listening skills, ensemble awareness, and confidence while playing with others. No prior musical experience is required. By the end of the course, students will be able to play simple pieces and have a strong foundation for continuing their viola studies.
