Music Theory, Improvisation and Composition Lessons - Jazz and Classical - Online or In Person

A partir de 40.63 $ /h

Hi! I'm Demetrio, a musician and composer from Italy.

From when I was 8 years old, I've been fully immersed in music, starting out with flute, to then switch to drums and to my first conservatory course in classical percussion. Already in the final periods of this study, I began to fall in love with jazz music and with the instrument of the vibraphone, and in September 2022 I moved to the Netherlands to follow my second bachelor course in the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, this time in jazz vibraphone. At the moment I'm in my second Master's year of The Hague's conservatory, on my way to graduation at the end of this academic year.

In this class, you'll be able to learn and face many aspects of music, from composing and starting out with the idea of song writing, to diving into music theory, both classical and jazz, and improvisation, as a general topic and in the context of jazz music. All of the topics that I present are offered to give students of any level either a solid base for music theory and improvisation, or to consolidate even more and strenghten your skills on more advanced aspects of music.

I'm very passionate about listening, sharing, directing and finding solutions to problems that anyone in a music learning journey can face, starting from myself. I'm also very patient and I provide clear and practical explanations, which I believe is very needed in such a confusing and aerial topic as music can be.

See you in class! :)

In this class, you'll be able to learn and face many aspects of music, from very practical lessons on the vibraphone, crossing technique, sound producing and reading music, to the idea of playing in a band, the concept of interplay and comping.

Do you want to learn some cuban grooves? or maybe latin jazz?

Apart from teaching the most amazing latin rhythms, In my lessons I apply the stick control book, to achieve a good technique, and at the same time I teach coordination and grooves, with the best methods and books from the most qualified drummers.

I'm a professional drummer from Spain, but living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I have studied Latin drums at Codarts, university of the arts, in Rotterdam, so I've acquired a lot of knowledge and skills on Cuban and Brazilian music, jazz, funk and Pop.

I've performed in places such as:
North Sea Jazz Festival, Het Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht), Jazzcafe Dizzy, etc...

Hi! My name is Eduardo, a professional musician and long-time music teacher. I am offering physical and online lessons in Music Theory, Improvisation and Instrument.
#Harmony #Composition #Solfège #Saxophone #Clarinet #Piano

Lessons are addressed to every student profile, regardless of age, level of expectations (no matter if it is seen as a hobby or rather if the individual is getting prepared for official Conservatory auditions, etc.).

We will play and/or focus on what the student is willing to deepen into (whatever music style they are interested in, more theoretical aspects or rather practical ones), trying to get the maximum profit of the employed time, and prioritising the actual learning of the person as the main factor for their motivation.

I obtained my Jazz Music Master's program at the Prince Claus Conservatoire of Groningen in June 2022.
Previously, in 2018, I graduated from my music Bachelor's at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona (Spain).

Hello there!
Welcome to my profile. I am Rui and I teach piano. The piano is known as the most complete musical instrument of all. This is because when playing it we can get all kinds of characters and sounds: very deep basses or super soft high notes; delicate melodies or dense harmonies (almost like an orchestra sometimes). This is one of the reasons why I love to play the piano, its versatility adapts to my everyday mood.
I would love to show you the wonders we can create with this amazing instrument!

Lessons
Every student is different, and by saying this I mean that I prepare every lesson specifically for each student. Some might be more shy, others might need more time to acknowledge some questions.
I believe that music (much like everything else) should be taught with patience and motivation.
You shouldn’t feel like you’re going against time, it should be the opposite. As a teacher, I always give priority to your motivation and excitement regarding the lesson’s activity. If I see that a student is not enjoying the lesson I have to improvise and turn it around.

When teaching, the most important thing for me is that you learn while having fun.
I have already some years of experience in giving piano lessons to people of all ages. I adapt the lesson content for every student individually, and I always give them the freedom to follow their musical taste and instincts. I also give a lot of focus to creativity and improvisation.
At the end of the lesson, I usually save a few minutes for the student to decide what he/she wants to do: maybe a little 4-hand improvisation, or maybe play a piece they have already learned and that they enjoy playing.

About me
Most of my studies and experience as a teacher took place in Portugal. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance in 2020.
I moved to The Netherlands in 2020 to attend the Master Program in Classical Piano Performance in the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
My academic studies were built on classical music but I also have some experience in pop and rock music.

I hope this motivates you to study piano with me! Looking forward to seeing you soon during your first lesson!

If you are in or around Den Haag and interested in violin/viola lessons, you've found the right page.

As a passionate performer, student and teacher, I offer private lessons in English and other languages to individuals of most proficiency levels and any age group. I have the most to offer to beginners. There are certain materials, methods, and repertoire lists that I will consistently rely on for most teaching, but every student will receive advice and exercises tailored to their specific needs. If you are interested in lessons for yourself or for a friend/family member, don't hesitate to contact me and we can discuss teaching methods and materials, scheduling, and more in greater detail.

Thanks for checking out my class! I hope to hear from you! 😊

I give violin lessons from any level and age (3 or more years old), in a pleasant, productive, and interesting way. I am very familiar with the Suzuki teaching method. If you are not familiar with it, I recommend you to have a quick look at it on the internet, or any other source of information. I can also offer classes in music theory (tonalities, harmony, scales, intervals...etc) and musical language (rhythm, intonation). I'm a professional violinist.

I am a Portuguese 22 year-old student doing a bachelor degree in classical flute, in the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I want to start to give lessons in order to upgrade my teaching experience.

I will teach basics (how to produce sound, how to play scales and simple melodies)but I also want to teach student in their secondary education how to develop their musicality and technique.

"I am a pianist. I started playing the piano at the age of seven and I am passionate about music. I am fascinated by the world of pedagogy, understanding that teaching is helping to learn. I am committed to my work with dedication and enthusiasm, and I believe that motivation is the key to both teaching and learning. I want to educate in values and I am committed to the pursuit of educational quality, based on equity and excellence. I am flexible and adaptable to each person, and I like teamwork. I appreciate discipline, rigor in my work, effort, and resilience. My aim is to help students learn constructively and to help them become autonomous as soon as possible. The focus is always on the student."

I structure the classes into three blocks, which I consider essential:

-Technique: through exercises and studies we must develop technical ability.
- Works of all styles: we learn from the great artists of all periods.
-Introduction to jazz and modern music: we will create a routine to work on improvisation and develop creativity.

These are the paths I propose, but each student is free to develop what he/she wishes. I also complement the classes with musical language and harmony.

Every pianist should focus on being a complete and balanced musician. We must develop aural skills, sight-reading, mastery of musical language and harmony, composition, improvisation, creativity, a critical spirit, good taste in music, and above all, a passion for music.

Do you like classical music but feel a little intimidate by it? Or maybe you’ve been listening for a while but now you’d like to dig a little deeper in the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms?

During these listening sessions I will offer you some context about the piece, and some tools to listen to it more carefully, so you can learn and enjoy the music with a new perspective.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re just starting your journey or you already have musical training. You can propose the repertoire you would like to explore, or I can make a suggestion to start with.

🎹 Piano Lessons for All Levels – Learn, Play, Express! 🎶

Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your artistry, my piano lessons are designed to meet you where you are — and take you further.

For beginners and early levels, I use a three-core approach that keeps things creative and well-rounded: music reading, free accompaniment & improvisation and solid technical foundations. This method helps students develop not just skills, but real musical confidence from day one.

With over 10 years of teaching experience, I hold a Master of Music from the Royal Conservatory, and during my bachelor's studies, I trained partly in Finland, where I was introduced to the inspiring methodology of the Finnish piano school. The Finnish approach is all about fostering creativity, musical sensitivity, and strong technique in a natural and encouraging way — and that philosophy guides every lesson I give.

As students progress, we continue to develop technical control while putting a stronger focus on musicality, interpretation, and artistic expression. Whether you're preparing for auditions, exams, or simply want to deepen your connection with music, you'll find both structure and inspiration here.

📍 Open to all ages and levels
🎵 Lessons available at teacher's students' place
🧭 Friendly, personalized, and goal-oriented

Learn to translate your creative ideas into music! During these lessons, you'll learn composition techniques (classical or pop/jazz, etc.) to create and/or improve your own compositions.

Techniques to give voice to your musical ideas! Your melodies for various instrumentations, such as strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, jazz, pop/rock, or various combinations.

There's also the opportunity to learn about Harmony and Keyboard Voicings (chords/harmony and chord melody). These methods can be put into practice with Harmony Progressions (including with your own compositions/songs, etc.) to see how Harmony works with the concept of Functional Harmony and beyond.

We discuss where your musical preference lies and which way we are going. In any case, fun is paramount!

Classes are for all levels and ages. Online classes are also available via WhatsApp, etc.

Passionate oboist and dedicated teacher with experience in guiding students of all ages. Inspired by the wonderful mentors who shaped my own musical journey, I aim to share both my knowledge and my love for the oboe. My lessons are tailored to each student, combining solid technical foundations with enjoyable repertoire—making the learning process both rewarding and fun, just as I have always experienced it.

With younger learners, I connect oboe playing to movement, rhythm, and singing, creating playful and engaging learning spaces while naturally reinforcing music theory concepts.

I believe in nurturing creativity, confidence, and empathy so that every student feels valued and inspired. Flexibility in lesson design and scheduling is always part of my approach.

Whether you would like to learn and discover a new instrument (and I can help you find one), have fun while playing the oboe, improve your skills, explore new repertoire, prepare for auditions/entrance exams, or receive support for your orchestra or band repertoire—my lessons are for you.

Classes adapted for all levels and ages. I enjoy sharing my passion for music and the French horn with others and having fun while doing so.

I like to give students freedom so that they can develop their own knowledge as they learn.
I like to give dynamic lessons in which students can actively participate, and I also participate, for example, by playing the horn with them or doing exercises that make the lessons more enjoyable.

During my studies, I practised posture and relaxation techniques for musicians, something that I also consider important.
