Singing lessons and vocal technique - learn to understand and master your voice!

Von 57.64 Fr /Std

During my singing lessons we’ll focus on your vocal technique to increase your vocal range, build vocal strength and stamina, improve your breathing and gain control over your instrument . We’ll work on multiple musical and vocal styles, sing high and low notes with ease, and most importantly, we’ll focus on finding your own voice while having fun doing it.

All you need for these lessons is passion for singing and a song of your choice. During the first lesson we’ll discuss your goals and wishes and have a little try at a few vocal exercises. Next, we’ll work on the song of your choice with the focus on the things you’d like to improve. After the lesson you’ll receive a little summary of your strengths, focus points and a plan with how we’ll work to achieve your goals. There will always be a small homework or exercise you’ll need to work on at home to help you achieve what we planned.

All levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced!

Über mich

I’m Dominika – a singer, musician and vocal coach. I began my journey with music a long time ago in Poland, when I was still a child. Then, after moving to The Netherlands 10 years ago I got accepted to study jazz singing at The Royal Conservatory of Den Hague and since then I’ve been professionally working within the music industry. I’ve been teaching at several music schools in The Netherlands in Dutch, Polish and English, and been expanding my knowledge by following singing courses and training. Besides doing music, I’m a co-founder of an English speaking musical theater company in Amsterdam, Happily Ever After Productions, where I combine my passion for theater, acting, dancing and music while working as a performer, music and artistic director.

My passion for teaching singing sprang up after my vocal injury a few years back. It forced me to fully examine my vocal technique and habits. I had to relearn everything I knew about singing to make sure I could use my voice for many years to come. It was an amazing experience that opened my eyes on all the vocal issues we face as students, singers and music lovers. This led me to create my own teaching practise and help others learn to use their voice in the best way possible. If you have vocal problems, I most definitely experienced them myself as well: loss of high/low notes, breathy sound, tension, strained voice, hoarseness after singing, lack of support, closed throat and many more – we can work on it all and I know it’s possible because I did it too!

I’m really looking forward to helping you achieve your goals!

Music Theory Lessons - Learn to understand the language of music!

49.96 Fr /Std

Learn to understand the language of music!

We’ll work on the most important aspects of music theory and ear training which includes:

solfegio (sight-reading),
interval hearing and singing,
scales knowledge
note reading.

Singing “false” or otherwise, out of tune, is not only a matter of a vocal technique but very much your ability to hear, recognise and recreate tones and sounds.

By working on ear training you’ll improve your intonation and hearing abilities. All these are needed to sing in tune, improvise melodies, sing runs and riffs and harmonise melodies (create second voice) with ease.

Sight-reading will help you sing from notes which can prove helpful and useful when singing in a choir or working on a musical project where music sheets are in use.

Scales will help you in expanding your musicality and singing notes you would otherwise not find in the basic ABC of melodies. They open your ears to new sounds and unlock musical possibilities. They are helpful when wanting to create songs, interesting melodies and chords.

All these skills are compulsory for anyone wishing to enter higher music education. These lessons will prepare you for passing your theory exams as well as help you to become more understanding of musical rules.

You will start to enjoy playing the piano both during and outside of the time of the class. You will learn how to be able to perform in a way that inspires your audience. I will teach you the basic music theory without going way deep into it because this is a performance class but you will learn what you need to excel in your performance. Additionally, I will teach you the principles of aesthetics of playing the piano. The repertoire that I focus on is mostly Western modern and Classical music, but we can also work on some famous Persian and Turkish pieces if you like. Of course, you are also always welcome to bring your favorite pieces to the class. Contact me for availability.

My name is Ben (26), and I'm a certified drum teacher with about 15 years of experience behind the kit. Previously I have studied jazz drums at Kunstuniversitat of Graz. Currently I'm teaching at multiple institutions in Amsterdam such as: Lucky Beat Music Club, United Pop, British School of Amsterdam.

My classes take place on my boathouse at Weesperzijde, however if you wish I can also come to your place. I can guarantee you that after your first lesson you already will be able to play a simple rock beat!

I can teach you the following:
- Groove
- Speed & Stamina
- Technique
- Music Theory
- Music Production (Beat making) in Ableton
- Controlling dynamics
- DJing
- Body Percussion
- Reading music
- Composition
And much more...

When it comes to teaching, creative lessons and positive energy are my pillars. I do approach every student differently, making sure I am able to show them what is possible on the instrument. I certainly believe that everyone is capable of learning to play the very basics after a short period of time. I do think that since drumming goes back all the way to the primal ages, we all have the drummer inside us, it just hasn't awakened yet. I want to be that person who will awake the drummer inside of who is wanting to learn. I feel fortunate that I'm able to do what I've studied and get to live my passion. There is nothing better than to see a student improve, develop and see when they finally start to "get it".

HI! I am Lenart and I am currently a student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I have been playing the trumpet for more than 15 years and have experience in many different music genres like Jazz, Pop, Classical, Baroque. I graduated from the Academy of Music in Ljubljana. I used to do a lot of teaching (young to old) when I was still residing in Slovenia. My desired goal as a teacher is to show you an easy and fun way to master a new skill or some new aspects of it, but not to fill your head with unnecessary things that will make your progress hard and slow.

I have studied with some of the biggest names of classical and jazz trumpet worldwide like: Omar Tomasoni, Miroslav Petkov, Reinhold Friedrich, Chris Colleti and many more.

Sing with more power, expression and ease.
Feel relaxed when singing and finally reach those high notes confidently.
Have fun and enjoy the experience of making music together.

I have been working as a singing teacher since 2011 and I'd love to pass on my knowledge and experience as a performer and songwriter to you.

When planning your lesson I always take into account your personal strengths to help you find the best way to healthy, effortlessly and joyful singing.

Topics offered:

Posture and breath-support

Increasing volume and stamina
Singing without a "break" in the voice

Cello is the most beautiful instrument there is. From low growling to singing like a bird, everything is possible on the four strings of this bowed instrument. The lesson focuses on technical challenges, and musical vision and development. From Bach's suites through romantic etudes to contemporary music, there is a wonderful repertoire. Let's discover this together and see what suits you.

I have been studying drums for nearly 15 years and have extensive knowledge across a wide range of musical genres. While this class is listed as focusing on jazz music, I am more than happy to explore other styles based on your interests.

We can work together to identify what you’d like to focus on, or if you prefer a more structured approach, I can provide exercises, play-alongs, and creative activities for both our lessons and your independent practice. My goal is to create a dynamic and engaging learning experience that suits your individual needs.
