Piano lesson, harpsichord lesson, keyboard lesson, music theory

Over João R.
Hello everyone!
My name is João, piano and harpsichord player.
I started playing the piano at the age of 7 years old and, since then, I completely fell in love with all the keyboard instruments and its possibilities of expressivity, the clear sense of making music, interacting with other musicians, for my own pleasure, and for the others. The harpsichord came in my life when I was 15 years old. I absolutely love Classical and Baroque Music and as well as Jazz and Pop.

I started teaching piano at the age of 20 and I must confess that it became a great passion in my life!
I love to see my students improving, getting acquainted with different music styles and motivated.
I'm skilled in teaching kids and adults, beginners or experienced with the keyboard and/or music theory.

Therefore, I use different methods, according to the student's needs and expectations. Each student is special so a lesson can differ, depending on the student's level. Normally, I start with warming up and technical exercises (posture is very important!), a brief music theory contextualisation of what is going to be approached in the lesson and, most importantly, have fun and provide a nice atmosphere during the lesson.

I've graduated in piano and harpsichord at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2007. In 2012 I've graduated in harpsichord at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, obtaining my Master degree at the same institution in 2014. Currently, I'm doing my Ph.D. studies in Performing Arts at Leiden University/Orpheus Instituut Gent. I teach theoretical music studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and, eventually, accompany and coach students from the Young Talent Music Department. In 2014 I've founded the Baroque Music Orchestra Le Concert d'Apollon, taking the lead of harpsichord player and music director.

If you are willing to learn how to play the piano or continue your studies, it will be a pleasure for me to show you how learning a keyboard instrument has so much to add in your life. I can give lessons at my studio in The Hague or travel to your destination. I look forward to meeting you and guide you through the wonderful world of music!

About Me

I started playing the piano when I was 8 years old. By that time I already could feel I would become a professional musician and teacher. I got my first bachelor in piano in 2007. When I was 13 years old, I started having harpsichord lessons and expanding my knowledge of classical and early music. In 2012 I got my bachelor degree in harpsichord and in 2014 my master degree at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague. Currently, I’m working with my ensemble, teaching piano and harpsichord, and am now doing my Ph.D. in Performative Arts at Leiden University

I absolutely love to teach and pass my experience as a musician to my students on both instruments. I like to see them improving and have fun while playing.
I work with several ways of teaching, depending on the student level and music background.

Normally I work with piano methods with kids from 9 -12 years old. I can teach music theory if necessary and if it will improve the student’s needs to progress and reach their goals, I do that with pleasure. Harmony and a bit of keyboard improvisation are also very welcome to the class.

My specialty is classical music, more specifically, baroque music, although I have notions of pop, jazz, and improvisation. Because I have sporting and personal training backgrounds, I’m specialized also on correcting postures and eventually avoid or solve pain issues when regarding playing.

Joao is very kind and friendly. He knows a lot about music and how to teach it. I have immediately noticed that he connects quickly with the student, he does not waste a minute, he makes you pay attention and interest, but he does not overwhelm you by demanding more than necessary. A very good teacher is found in that balance.

Eduardo
Saxophone, Clarinet, Piano, Impro and Music Theory lessons for all ages and levels, physically & Online by a Music Master graduate!
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).

Piano lessons for all levels (with music theory if wanted)
As an experienced solo pianist and ensemble player, I would love to share with you my passion for music. I believe that practicing an instrument can be a great activity for everybody. It trains coordination, memory, and multitasking skills and brings a lot of satisfaction and fun. We can adjust activities in our lessons to your personal goals. Whether you want to apply for music school, prepare for a competition, learn how to read music notation, accompany somebody, or just play for your own enjoyment. We can focus on the repertoire that you would like to play - classical, pop, or film music. I can also teach music theory if you would like to.

Learn How To Play Any Keyboard Instrument With Ease
In classes I am offering you can learn how to play any keyboard instrument you wish (piano, fortepiano, harpsichord etc.), no matter how advanced you are. I'm close to finishing my Bachelor degree in Koninklijk Conservatorium in the class of harpsichord and fortepiano, apart from that I have a previous 12-year-long experience with modern piano playing. Therefore I should be able to provide fresh yet informed insight to teaching and playing the instrument. On top of that, I can help with ear training and solmisation to speed up your learning process.

Inês
Piano and basic music theory lessons for all ages and levels
Hi! I am a classically trained pianist holding one Master's Degree from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag and another from Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espetáculo do Porto, Portugal (ESMAE). I have been teaching for the past 6 years and I am open to adapting my methods to each student. I like to teach my students how to navigate music with and without scores, encouraging them to explore the keyboard through basic improvisation games or ear training. In my lessons, my students will be able to learn how to read scores, learn basic music theory, or develop their piano technique. Being it through classical or pop music (or any other type of music the student likes), I hope to be able to share my love for music with my students and encourage them to explore their more creative side.

Fernan
Learn and discover Music Production, Vibraphone & Keyboards
The moment of engagement between the performer and the listener it is the most intense feeling I’ve ever felt. It is a very unexpected moment, it just happens and there you are holding your instrument in front of people you are sharing your performance with. Suddenly everyone is waiting for you to continue the story you have been telling and everyone is just at the same time on the same place and you have what they need: a message they want to hear and they know you will share it with them. So once you do you reach that sensation, that moment, and what happens afterwards it is magic! It is absolutely wonderful how one, a hundred or even thousands of humans can be on hold for the same message and once it is delivered they just feel it the same exactly way as you do. This sensation is not only happening on a performance but also on a teaching situation. I’ve been teaching for some year from children to adults and I discovered that if you put all your energy all your love and passion and you give it all as a teacher or as a student you can reach this magical communication levels! Which makes a lesson such an experience! That is why as a teacher I am mostly focused on creativity and trough it the discoveries of your instrument always basing this process on your goals and ambitions which are the most important pillars of a musician!! I would be happy to teach you: PERCUSSION - For all levels and style, from classical percussion to world music. VIBRAPHONE - For all levels and style, mostly focused on jazz KEYBOARDS & PIANO -For beginners on classical music and all levels on jazz or any other modern style MUSIC PRODUCTION This are examples of what I am able and willing to share with students of any level and on any need: - The world of music production software (Ableton Live, Logic Pro,...) - How to record myself - How to compose music (pop, funk, jazz, latin, etc) by using a computer - How to create beat music - How to use a looper and other digital effects - Discovering the world of plug-ins and virtual instruments - What is music production and how to use it Shortly, I have never stopped studying since I was 8 years old, I’ve graduated on classical percussion on Jazz vibraphone and currently finishing my masters on how to play vibraphone and Keys at the same time. Trough this time i’ve being participating with classical orchestras ( Orquesta Gaos, Joven orquesta sinfonica de Galicia,...) on different percussion festivals as a player and as a teacher ( Perkulliria, FIP Agolada,...) and on many different style bands ( Skarallaos, GHASS, Fhree, Qando Vand,...). Currently working with MAMIHLAPINATAPAI a very personal world music project here in The Netherlands.

Pedro
Piano Lessons - all ages and levels - Graduated pianist with concert and teaching experience
Hello! I'm a 25-year-old pianist finishing his Master's degree in Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. I have ample experience as a teacher, and performing as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestra keyboardist, and accompanist. I have been teaching since 2018 and love working with people of all kinds of music tastes. I will adapt to your musical interests and help you accomplish your objective. On top of a piano teacher, I am a great piano coach, being able to help my students get where they want with the piano, even if they struggle with motivation to practice. I am easygoing, and I adapt to your expectations and rhythm, so we can work together in fulfilling your goals! In my lessons, you will: - Learn how to understand a score, with all the theoretical knowledge you need to approach the repertoire that you want to study. - Learn how to practice the piano. Ever tried and struggled to focus or to develop as much as you wanted? I can help you with that. - Learn to play the repertoire you want, with a step-by-step process that helps you develop more ability and security - Learn the piano technique - Learn how to enjoy music making! :) For the more medium and advanced students, I also offer: - Deep understanding of styles. I have done research on baroque and classical styles, and have studied with romantic, XXth century, and contemporary music experts, which has given me deep knowledge on how to understand the different styles of Classical Music. - Advanced practice technique. Sometimes, the more you advance in the instrument, the harder practice can become. Know how to practice difficult technical passages and musical ideas. - Sound control. Even if the sound in the piano might seem limited, it is not, it can simply be difficult to control. But it is the most important quality of a musical performance, alongside style. - Great support. I will help you find motivation and organize your practice. I also am a great support teacher. If you or your child is already studying in an institution and you want some extra help, I have always been able to help students who have found themselves improperly motivated by their main teacher, or who want help practicing. Music is fun! Let's learn together.
