Guitar · Music theory lessons
Learn music through play and improvisation from the very first lesson I offer music lessons open to all levels, from complete beginners to more experienced musicians. My teaching approach is based on a simple idea: enjoyment is the driving force behind learning. That is why instrumental technique and music theory are applied directly through playing, rather than through an accumulation of exercises disconnected from real musical practice. A highly personalized and adaptable approach I do not follow a rigid method or offer identical programs for everyone. Each student’s individuality is highlighted and enhanced rather than suppressed to fit into a fixed framework. Every student progresses through the music they love and want to play. Rather than studying theoretical concepts in the abstract, we approach them only when they directly support the music currently being learned. The goal is to create a direct connection between what is learned and what is played. My intention is for students to gradually discover and build their own way of learning and playing, leading toward independence in musical learning and exploration. ⸻ Instruments and areas taught I offer: • Improvisation for all instruments and all styles • Instrumental technique for clarinet, guitar, and ukulele • Composition guidance • Foundations of harmony applied to practical playing ⸻ Typical lesson structure Each lesson is based on a piece of music or a concrete musical support. The work may include: • Simple analysis of the piece to guide the learning process • Work on phrasing, rhythm, harmony, tone, and musical expression • Immediate application through playing and improvisation The goal is to improve while staying connected to real music and the pleasure of playing. ⸻ Who are these lessons for? These lessons are suitable for: • Beginners who want to start playing quickly • Amateur musicians who want to learn improvisation • People looking for a freer and more creative approach • Musicians who want to progress without a strictly academic teaching style ⸻ My goal To help you develop your musical expression and find your own way of playing and learning.

Trusted teacher: I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard. My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student. Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you. A bit about me: Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

This Music Theory class is designed to help students truly understand how music works, not just memorise rules. The course is practical, applied, and directly connected to playing music, especially at the piano. Students learn music theory in a clear and structured way, covering harmony, rhythm, form, and listening skills, while immediately applying these concepts to real music. The class supports pianists, singers, composers, and instrumentalists at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Alongside Western classical and contemporary theory, students also explore Bollywood music, popular harmony, and stylistic elements from modern genres. The aim is to build strong musical awareness, confidence, and independence. How the Class Is Conducted 1. One-to-one online sessions 2. Concepts explained clearly using examples at the piano 3. Regular listening and analysis of real musical works 4. Exercises adapted to the student’s level and goals 5. Theory is always connected to sound, practice, and musical meaning, not taught in isolation. What Students Learn 1. Reading and understanding notation 2. Scales, intervals, chords, and harmony 3. Rhythm, meter, and time organisation 4. Functional harmony and chord progressions 5. Analysis of classical, contemporary, and Bollywood music 6. Applied theory for performance and composition 7. Advanced students also work on analysis, arrangement, and original music. Who This Class Is For 1. Beginners who want a clear foundation 2. Pianists and instrumentalists who want to understand what they play 3. Students preparing for exams or higher studies 4. Songwriters and composers 5. Young teachers seeking stronger theoretical clarity

Singing Lessons (Individual) - Pop, Jazz, Soul, Blues, Rock (Amsterdam)
Stefano
rating star
rating green star
Not just a singing teacher, but by the way also the best vocal coach you can get hold of at this moment and in this area of the Netherlands (so take your chance...;-)). For about 3 years I had a serious problem with my vocal chords (incomplete closure) and a dislocated larynx. I started to be in contact with Stefano by chance asking him to show me some (singing) exercises additionally to my treatment at the ENT-department of Martini Ziekenhuis Groningen as well as an ongoing therapy at a professional trained speech therapist. To cut a long story short: Within a couple of lessons and dedicated exercises he succeeded in re-positioning my larynx and got rid of my incomplete vocal cords closure, meanwhile the medical specialists had decided that the only cure could possibly be an operation... As a ‘side-effect’ I am now able to sing and control my voice like I have never been able before and could never have imagined that this was possible to achieve by just some simple but individually chosen exercises and practice. Grazie!

Katie

rating green star
It's a joy to work with Katie, she has a lovely personality and a very flexible teaching style. Apart from being a good pianist I value the fact that she is able to put music into context. She has the ability to comprehend and clearly explain the underlying musical dynamics of a piece, which allows her students to not only become better pianist but also better listeners and interpreters of music. Katie is the perfect guide for those wanting to gain a deeper understanding of music altogether.
