Acerca de mí

I am a Slovenian musician, composer and educator based in Amsterdam and I love sharing joy for music, performing and creating.

My experience spans from playing in various musical projects in the Netherlands and abroad and at different festivals such as Cologne Jazzweek, Jazz Sous les Pommiers, Saalfelden Jazz festival, AMR Jazz Festival, Süd Tirol Jazz Festival, Porta-Jazz, Bezau Beatz festival, Transition Festival, Jazz Fest Amsterdam, Jazz Festival Ljubljana, Grachten Festival, etc. and venues such as Bimhuis, Muziekgebouw aan `t IJ, Lantaren-Venster, Cankarjev Dom etc.. to performing with renowned jazz musicians such as Avishai Cohen, Mats Gustafsson, Harmen Fraanje, Elias Stemeseder, Big Band RTV Slovenia, Jure Pukl etc.

My teaching philosophy centers around taking each student as an individual self and starting from their needs and wishes. Teaching is based on their goal and their weaker areas that needs more attention. The ultimate goal of the lessons is (apart from learning the instrument and music theory) that the student learns awareness and self-accountability and ability to self correct, create exercises on their own and ultimately grow independently.

Music should be fun, therefor the lessons are based on students music interests, passions and creative wishes.

Feel free to reach out to me to discuss your goals, ask questions, or schedule your first lesson. Looking forward to dive on the journey with you!

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).

Music is Play! and everyone is it's own game.
Read, understand and make only the music you like. I think if it isn't fun, it can't be music:)

I studied a classical piano bachelor, and later a jazz master and a live electronics master. In the meantime, I have been teaching music. It's longer than 9 years now!
Most of my students learn piano. With the starter ones, I use my own system to equally help them grow all the needed skills: body consciousness (to avoid lesions or bad habits), music theory (including writing and reading) and improvisation.
Usually most songs are made of melody, chords and rhythm. From there, I can help you understand how a song works, how is it written, how does it translate to the piano... and voilá! You'll know the song by heart, and will be able to play it a bit different every time, because you won't be following a set of pre-imposed instructions. You will understand how a small system (a song) works.
This way of learning can be applied to any song, from any century or style. Understanding is key! Play Chopin, write rock songs, play Monk, Bill Evans, the Beatles, make a lo-fi beat, play Beethoven, play the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars, play video game music, play salsa! bachata and make people dance, laugh or cry.
Music is very powerful!

PD: I have also experience imparting electronic music lessons in Ableton Live and Max MSP, which is now a very important part of my professional practice. In case you are interested, it is also possible to mix the two worlds and create a any kind of path between piano, synths, beats and home studio techniques.
Ask me anything, I'll tell you how I could help!

I give lessons (mostly 60 minutes long), which consists of learning proper technique and repertoire according to the student’s level and interest.
I focus on sight-reading, improvisation skills and techniques of accompaniment. My students will be able to read and play from sheet music and chord signs.
I look forward to the teaching process which broadens the horizons of both of us!

Hey there! If you have been thinking for a while about learning to play, improvise and read music scores on the piano, then this is the sign to start!

My name is Enrique and I come from Andalucía, Spain. I am a Classical Piano student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and I would be pleased to be your teacher. It will be great to teach you how to play your favourite music on the piano, but also about its language, reading and writing, that is, the music theory, or even how to start improvising your own music.

All of this is actually interconnected and it is interesting to combine them in teaching. I adapt to any age, level or taste (you may prefer classical, jazz, pop... everything is welcome!). Lessons can be taught in English or Spanish.

Thanks for your attention! Hope to help you soon ;)

As a teacher and student, I can assure you that the development of a musician is not only born from training and theory, but also from the enjoyment of playing the instrument, so in this course you will have 50% technical work and 50% development of skills. repertoire (songs you want to play).

Whether you are just starting to play the saxophone, or are an experienced player looking to expand your knowledge, I can help you!

My teaching approach is tailored to the student's needs and goals.
Are you a prospective conservatory student preparing for your entrance exam? Or an amateur musician just looking to improve your saxophone playing? We can figure out the right lesson length, schedule, and study materials just for you.

As a teacher I strongly believe in providing the student with solid fundamental skills - getting a nice sound, good posture, relaxed technique, etc. From there we can work on whatever the student is interested in, the #1 priority being nourishing their love for music!

Besides working on the saxophone playing itself, I am also there to help the student develop their ear, musical intuition, sense of rhythm and melody, and discover new music to expand their horizons.

My name is Ignacio Pintó and I am a Spanish bass player living in Amsterdam. I moved to this lovely city four years ago to study the Jazz Double Bass Bachelor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

I am in love with music, my main occupation right now is working in projects that excite me deeply, trying to bring new sounds to the world through composition and improvisation.

I love sharing this excitement and knowledge with people. That's the reason why I have developed a flexible system to organise music development, based on my recent experience. In the lessons we will focus on the music you love and find ways to develop the skills it requires in a methodic way, always having fun in the process. We will also playfully explore creativity and improvisation, my ultimate goal is finding your voice as a musician and helping you develop it!

Although double bass is my main instrument now, my first steps as a musician were given with bass guitar. I also have experience teaching that instrument and I feel equally capable of helping you develop those skills.

You can expect an personalised program, with prepared lessons based essentially in your musical interests and goals, potentially covering these topics among others: double bass technique, bowing, electric bass technique, jazz repertoire, ear training, music theory, improv techniques, rhythm, composition, basic production skills, basic piano skills.

If interested, next to the bass lessons I could also arrange ensemble lessons connecting you with fellow musicians of similar interests and skill level.
