About Me

I have been teaching saxophone and music since 2013, and I especially like to teach individual lessons, to look into what kind if music my students like and try to work with them with that material to improve their musical skills. My effort is to build a connection with my students and with their taste and direction in music, customizing the lesson towards their goals and ambitions.

I have a wide experience in terms of genres and music styles, as well as in terms of professional situations (live concerts, recording sessions, teaching online and in person, cruise ship gigs).

I am constantly writing new music and performing with my bands, I spend my time between Mexico and Italy at the moment, researching Mexican and latin traditional music, and composing, playing, teaching and recording as much as I can.

I have taught masterclasses and private lessons in Italy (Merano jazz festival), The Netherlands, Mexico (JazzUV - University of Veracruz; UNICACH - University of Chiapas).

Music is an art that gives great rewards if approached with passion and dedication, and it is a great feeling for a teacher to see that approach in a student!

Education

Master Degree in Jazz Saxophone at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and a semester exchange at Temple University, in Philadelphia;
Bachelor Degree in Jazz Saxophone at The University of Performing Arts, Graz, Austria;

Experience / Qualifications

Since 2013 I have been teaching saxophone, flute, ensemble and theory lessons in private schools of Italy, Austria, Holland, Mexico and privately from and at home.

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Turkish reed flute is an essential instrument of Turkish Classcial Music. It has a deep and dense culture dating from 13. century around. If you want to learn about how to perform it you first need a teacher educated by masters on this field. As of many teachers you can find online but you make sure that not every tutor meets with traditional style. Solfege and method are inseperable parts of the lessons. So for beginners and intermediate students must follow a compotent tutor to learn about the way of classic form.

Laura
Flute and Music Theory tuition for students of all levels
I have played the flute for more than 20 years, and have been teaching since 2011. I offer flute lessons to children aged 8 and up, and adults at all levels from beginners to post Grade 8. I also teach recorder to younger beginners- I find this is a good stepping stone for younger children as it's more comfortable for smaller beginners to hold, and easier to make a sound on. Learn to pass exams or just for fun- many of my students achieve highly in ABRSM and Trinity grades, but some prefer not to take exams and this is fine too. Whatever your level, one to one tuition means that I can tailor my teaching to your needs as a flute player, and my teaching takes into account the reasons you learn an instrument, encompassing a wide variety of repertoire. I also teach music theory- lots of students come to me to help prepare for Grade 5 theory, and I also teach higher theory grades.

Rufus
Jazz/pop/groove/songwriting piano lessons for all levels of skill and all ages by ex-conservatory student!
I've been playing the piano with great passion for 18 years, and over the past 5 years, alongside my studies and music-making endeavors, I've been teaching multiple students ranging from 7 to 50 years old. My expertise lies in truly understanding music theory and composing and improvising music. Having played in many pop and jazz (big) bands and creating daily compositions for solo piano and bands, I've developed an enthusiasm for these genres that I love to impart to my students. In recent years, I've also been heavily involved in music production, and lessons in this direction are also possible! I often use theory as a background to contextualize the songs we practice (which are often chosen by the student themselves). I use these songs to convey improvisation and composition skills. Additionally, I believe it's important for the student to develop their own way of learning. I strive to create a free yet disciplined learning environment.
