After completing a classical study of the cello at a conservatory, I later focused exclusively on improvisation with this instrument. As a classically trained cellist I can work with you on two tracks; improving and/or maintaining a solid basic technique and gradually learning the improvisation aspect. By focusing on these two 'levels', insight is created into the instrument that will help develop improvisation skills in order to continue to grow as an instrumentalist and as an improviser. Mathias

I would like to share my passion for music with anyone who is interested but also willing to invest the necessary time to learn to play this beautiful instrument. It mainly requires perseverance instead of talent. Of course it all goes a bit faster if one has some talent, but that doesn't mean anything at all. (One is not superior to the other in that respect either! We are all equal!) Experience also shows that adults can become quite good later in life if you REALLY want it and make time for it to practice on a regular basis. -Mindset is key in everything one does- The internet is of course full of very valuable lessons, but personal guidance is also very important! I myself have also learned a lot via the internet, but I have also regularly taken lessons at the music academy in Geel and at the Jazz Studio in Antwerp. Due to the overload of information, it can sometimes be that people can no longer see the forest for the trees... I can certainly be of service to you in the process of your musical development, both on a musical level but also on a psychological/spiritual level. I myself am still practicing music on a daily basis, but now I also want to pass on the knowledge I currently have to people who are also very passionate about music. See you soon ! Greetings Richard

Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it. 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. The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody. 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.

Ik ben Mark, pianist en student aan Conservatorium Maastricht. In 2026 werd ik toegelaten tot zowel Berklee College of Music (VS) als Conservatorium Maastricht, waar ik ervoor koos mijn studie voort te zetten. Ik geef pianolessen aan leerlingen van alle leeftijden en niveaus. Tijdens de lessen werken we aan pianotechniek, muzikaliteit, improvisatie, gehoortraining en muziektheorie, altijd afgestemd op jouw persoonlijke doelen en muzikale interesses. Je kunt kiezen voor klassieke piano, jazz, improvisatie of een combinatie hiervan. Of je nu helemaal vanaf het begin begint, al ervaring hebt of je voorbereidt op een toelatingsexamen of conservatoriumstudie, ik pas de lessen aan jouw niveau en doelen aan. Mijn lessen zijn persoonlijk, gestructureerd en ontspannen. Mijn doel is niet alleen om je te leren piano spelen, maar ook om je muzikale inzicht, creativiteit en zelfvertrouwen te ontwikkelen. Ik geef les in het Engels en Russisch. De lessen kunnen online plaatsvinden of persoonlijk in Maastricht en omliggende steden.

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.
