Acerca de mí

I like to have a flexible method, concerned on the student's needs, but I tend to connect them as much as I can with existing music in order to understand notions, and not the opposite.
We will have a list of songs we might learn to figure out new guitar techniques, chords or theory notions, and we will learn how to improvise step by step.
I'm also an expert in electronics (computer, Ableton Live, audio and synthesizers) and guitar effects, so we can explore that side of guitar too.

Adrian (1997) is an Amsterdam-based guitarist from Caracas, Venezuela that is part of the up-coming generation of the Dutch Jazz scene. Winner of the Erasmus Jazz Prize 2019, Adrian has performed at top festivals such as North Sea Jazz Fest, North Sea Round Town and Grachtenfestival, and has also shared the stage with established and emerging musicians such as Benjamin Herman, Stefan Lievestro and Alessandro Fongaro.

Adrian (1997) started classical guitar lessons at age 11 but quickly switched to electric guitar because of his passion for rock music. At age 14, he was admitted to the TJC Music School in his hometown, Caracas, where he studied jazz guitar, graduating with honours at age 17. While living in Venezuela, Adrian started playing professionally at 16 years old, being called a “young promise”. In 2017, Adrian moved to The Netherlands to study at Codarts University of the Arts, later transferring to Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2019 to study with Jesse van Ruller, Reinier Baas, Martijn van Iterson, Maarten van der Grinten, and many more.

I specialize in Latin American music. My goal is not only to teach the student to play guitar (or to help him further), but also to get acquainted with various folk music forms from Latin America both in practice on the guitar but also through listening and researching the various forms. For the advanced guitarist to further expand his knowledge within the classical repertoire from Latin America with unknown works and for those who are interested, learning to compose is also one of my goals. Music on its width. Not learning to play songs but composing your own work.

Learning to play the guitar can be an amazing experience at every stage of the process! My ultimate goal is to help my students to develop their skills and musical understanding by learning and playing music that they like.

Therefore I adapt my teaching methodologies to the tastes and needs of every student. Throughout every lesson, we will work on three main courses of development: technical aspects, theoretical knowledge, and performative practice.

My classes are open for anyone who would like to enjoy exploring the universe of music: beginners and advanced, children and adults, you are all welcome to book the first lesson.

With over ten years of experience as a professional musician, performing worldwide and teaching students of all levels, I’ve developed a wealth of pedagogical resources to guide your growth.

At your own pace, we’ll cover harmony, improvisation, reading music, and if you're up for it, even composing your own pieces.

I am studying Bachelor Pop Guitar at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I can help you in different matters, such as performance, ear training or music theory. All the aspects will be link together in order to learn effectively!

In my guitar lessons, we will develop your skills in the instrument to get a better and more personal tone, and feel more confident when improvising or playing in different styles. We will get there by learning songs, scales, chords, different techniques and putting all of them together.

I can also help you in songwriting, which I personally think that is a beautiful way to learn and apply the things we learn.

I can teach online or in student's location in Amsterdam or in Almere.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if there is any questions :)

Course I: Vocal lessons

The vocal lessons are designed on the student’s needs, meaning that during the lessons we will work on whatever is there to improve in order to let you get the most from your singing voice!

During the lessons we will learn exercises to warm up and cool down the voice (so a pre- and a post- workout); we will work on vocal technique, doing specific exercises based on specific needs; we will work on the repertoire, choosing appropriate songs according to your taste and to what suits your voice the best. But, most of all, we are going to have FUN while learning and improving!

For the first lesson it would be ideal to bring one song that you know well and that you like to sing and preferably you sang already. You don’t have any song yet? no problem at all, we will start with nice exercises and we can choose together a song to work on!

Course II: Guitar lessons

Have you ever wanted to improve your guitar skills with the goal of accompanying your voice while singing? During this lessons we can work together to find the best way to accompany yourself, using the guitar as a support for your beautiful voice!

You will learn nice voicings, left and right hand technique and how to groove with nice rhythmical patterns.

Having fun is the first important step in order to learn more about this beautiful instrument. With the Suzuki method you can easily learn all styles of music and study a big repertoire of technics. We can discover different aspects of the guitar by creating personal and individual exercises in class. It's a different way to learn and a really visual method used to make learning fun for all ages. It does not matter if you are an absolute beginner with no music background. All classes can be recorded with audio devices and the music can be transcribed in tablature.

I am an enthusiastic and passionated guitarist graduated from Conservatorium Van Amsterdam. My professional and academic musical life has inspired me to approach my teaching method in a fun, interactive and productive way. Through my knowledge of the guitar/music theory and interactive tools, I hope to help and inspire students of all ages, levels and genres. I teach a variety of styles and techniques on electric, acoustic and steel string guitar.

Parts of my teaching philosophy consists in;

▸ Creating an individual study path for each student/group, based on the students preferences and needs.

▸ Applying interactive tools & generating study material such as audio & video recording, various musical notation and play-alongs.

▸ Creating a positive relation to the guitar and the language of music by supporting and adapting to the natural curiosities of each individual.

Guitar lessons designed to enhance your skills step-by-step. We start with a warm-up jam. You'll learn popular riffs and chord progressions broken down into manageable parts, ensuring thorough understanding and mastery. Playing along with backing tracks strengthens your timing and makes learning feel like a performance. Structured yet enjoyable approach to becoming a better guitarist!

Hey, I'm Iván, an argentinian musician that recently moved to Amsterdam. I've been a guitarist for more than 10 years and even though it is not the only thing i do with music, i've always enjoyed teaching. As a teacher i usually base my method on playing actual music oriented on the student's personal taste, with the possibility of developing in a more academic way later on if required.
I studied classical guitar in Argentina and Spain, i've taught since i was a child and i have 3 trinity college degrees on classical guitar, rock and pop guitar and music theory.
I have experience both with electric and classic/acoustic guitar and diverse genres such as rock, jazz, pop, blues, tango, classical, etc...
