In the lessons, we will be focusing on setting or developing all the required skills for the students to be able to perform independently, understand the musical language, and explore their own sound. Focusing on posture, hand coordination, rhythm, ear training, reading scores, and improvisation. So far my musical exposure in many different genres allows me to create a lesson that is adapted to the specific needs of my students. I have garnered the patience and belief in the idea that anyone can become a part of the music world with the proper amount of attention and guidance.

My name is Sofija and I am a pianist currently studying at Conservatorium Maastricht.

I believe that music helps us to develop skills and qualities such as patience, accuracy and sensitivity that we all need in our daily life. It can be also a great way to connect to other people or to yourself.

In the lessons we will focus on your needs and wishes both if you are a beginner or an advanced player. My goal would be to make a beginner feel comfortable with features such as good orientation in the scores and on the keyboard, musical and rhythmical playing, basic technical skills and knowledge of musical terminology. With an advanced player we will further develop their own interpretation and musical ideas.

Lessons can be taught in English, Czech or Russian.

I'm excited to share my experience with you and be creative together!

Saxophone lessons:

Mathias' lessons are for both beginners and advanced students. The lessons are based on the student's desire to learn and be inspired, and it is important for him to be able to help develop and stimulate this desire.

Selected focus points in the lessons are:
- Sound and equality
Focus on uniform quality throughout the register and feeling that you have control and decide for yourself over the instrument.

- Ear training
Particularly the ability to perceive, retain and reproduce musical structures. This is trained with Mathias through simple and effective principles.

In Mathias' lessons, you are provided with various exercises that strengthen embouchure, breathing technique and your understanding of harmony and improvisation.

He places great emphasis on the fact that the student is not in an exam, but in a work process, and that the student's wishes and motivation are at the center.

Especially for beginners
For the first lesson, Mathias provides a saxophone. Write a non-binding message to Mathias if you are interested or have any questions.

About Mathias:
He is very passionate about creating music in all sorts of settings and about playing and teaching saxophone 🎷 He finished his studies at Conservatorium Maastricht last year.

Hello! I am an English saxophonist, guitarist, pianist and composer / music theorist, currently based in Maastricht, NL. I've been playing saxophone, guitar and piano for 15 years and after building a life around music and creative expression, it's my passion to share that with anyone eager to learn; at any level. I believe music can bring so much value to our lives, it can excite us and move us, give us a sense of purpose and identity and ultimately enrich us in ways we would never otherwise grow.

Are you a musician already, but you haven’t opened the door to music theory and don’t know where to start? Perhaps you are preparing for upcoming exams, or you simply want to spark your curiosity further with the mechanics of music? At any level, I’m here to teach music theory for jazz and contemporary music.
I want to show my students the connection between music on a theoretical level and their instruments. And how understanding the building blocks of music can lead to new creative avenues through which to express themselves. It can be a struggle to know where to get started both technically and theoretically; understanding your instrument and what you are playing can help to facilitate real musical growth.
As a conservatory student, having followed advanced jazz music theory. I can help at any level to further your knowledge and understanding of music. Theory is such a powerful tool for composition, songwriting and improvisation, let’s learn together in an environment that puts you and your instrument first.
I offer classes from beginner musicians to conservatory / music school entrance exams and everything in between & beyond.
If you are interested, feel free to get in touch!
Looking forward to meeting you!
Francis
