About Me

I have played countless projects during my studies and I am still playing a lot today. This gives me a lot of band experience and knowledge about what you need to be a good bass player in a band. Outside of this I also keep enjoying and challenging myself by playing covers of songs in any style.

In my 7 years of experience tutoring individuals ranging from 4 to 60 year olds, from budding composers with an interest in music theory, to those who want to learn to perform, I have become a versatile teacher. I take care to get to know you, your areas of interest and your learner type in order to construct methods and practice plans that will be both fun and challenging, allowing you to learn most effectively. My lessons will be whatever you want to make of them, however focused or broad you want your learning to be, I will ensure you develop the understanding and technique to achieve your goals. If you don't have any specific goals in mind that's all right too! Whether your continuing your journey or starting from zero, there is always a wealth of options when learning the piano.

My primary objective is to make learning music an enjoyable and productive experience to all ages & levels.

Are you self taught and want to take the next step into a more structured study approach? TAB/Chord readers making the leap to learn notation and theory? Maybe you would like to take a more formal route through a music board syllabus? Or a complete beginner who just wants to have fun playing some of your favourite songs?

Whichever path you're on, I can introduce the correct methods and techniques to apply to your learning. After an introductory meeting, I will work up a personal lesson plan based on what you want to achieve and learn.

Saxophone lessons:

Mathias' lessons are for both beginners and advanced students. The lessons are based on the student's desire to learn and be inspired, and it is important for him to be able to help develop and stimulate this desire.

Selected focus points in the lessons are:
- Sound and equality
Focus on uniform quality throughout the register and feeling that you have control and decide for yourself over the instrument.

- Ear training
Particularly the ability to perceive, retain and reproduce musical structures. This is trained with Mathias through simple and effective principles.

In Mathias' lessons, you are provided with various exercises that strengthen embouchure, breathing technique and your understanding of harmony and improvisation.

He places great emphasis on the fact that the student is not in an exam, but in a work process, and that the student's wishes and motivation are at the center.

Especially for beginners
For the first lesson, Mathias provides a saxophone. Write a non-binding message to Mathias if you are interested or have any questions.

About Mathias:
He is very passionate about creating music in all sorts of settings and about playing and teaching saxophone 🎷 He finished his studies at Conservatorium Maastricht last year.

Hello! I am an English saxophonist, guitarist, pianist and composer / music theorist, currently based in Maastricht, NL. I've been playing saxophone, guitar and piano for 15 years and after building a life around music and creative expression, it's my passion to share that with anyone eager to learn; at any level. I believe music can bring so much value to our lives, it can excite us and move us, give us a sense of purpose and identity and ultimately enrich us in ways we would never otherwise grow.

Are you a musician already, but you haven’t opened the door to music theory and don’t know where to start? Perhaps you are preparing for upcoming exams, or you simply want to spark your curiosity further with the mechanics of music? At any level, I’m here to teach music theory for jazz and contemporary music.
I want to show my students the connection between music on a theoretical level and their instruments. And how understanding the building blocks of music can lead to new creative avenues through which to express themselves. It can be a struggle to know where to get started both technically and theoretically; understanding your instrument and what you are playing can help to facilitate real musical growth.
As a conservatory student, having followed advanced jazz music theory. I can help at any level to further your knowledge and understanding of music. Theory is such a powerful tool for composition, songwriting and improvisation, let’s learn together in an environment that puts you and your instrument first.
I offer classes from beginner musicians to conservatory / music school entrance exams and everything in between & beyond.
If you are interested, feel free to get in touch!
Looking forward to meeting you!
Francis
