Saxophone lessons: Enjoy becoming an all-round musician (EN, NL, HB)

Enjoy becoming an independent & all-round musician!!

My aim as a Saxophone & music teacher is to give you the ability to develop skills that will make you enjoy "music-making" and love exploring all kinds of songs/musical pieces. Also, I give you tools to be able to cooperate with other musicians.

The methods I use are focused around goals that I create together with each individual student (and/or parents). Our goals are based on both the student's passion & musical desires together with the technical needs to make these desires sound! (control over the instrument, reading music notation, music theory, Improvisation, composition, ear-training and more). Music is a powerful language that everyone around the world can understand, but not all can speak yet...
Music-making involves Joy, curiosity, self-expression and a feeling of being a part of something bigger than yourself!

Practical Info:
- Normally, lessons take place at my location in Amsterdam. (call to discuss other options)
- I work with both kids (from age 8/9) and adults, (total) beginners, amateurs & semiprofessionals alike
- I play & teach: Soprano, Alto, Tenor & Baritone Saxophones (Flute & Bass-Clarinet for beginners as well)

** FOR PARENTS **
- Music making teaches you about how to build long-lasting dedication & successful work ethics that can be implemented throughout life, in any filed!
- Music teaches you how to express thoughts & feelings and can be important for a growth of a child.
- Music is a rich lifestyle, and opening a child to that world is a great gift that a parent can give to his/her child.

About Me

As a teacher:
Creating a fun, positive, at times funny and flexible learning environment together with a true drive and determination to music education is what I am all about as a teacher.
I can also be persistent when needed, but mainly about the way the student approaches his/her tasks, and not necessarily their results...

*Fun fact: I worked as a surfing instructor for many years!
Surfing taught me interesting methods for teaching that I use at times (before I moved to the Netherlands).

As a musician (highlights!):
- I won several prizes, scholarships & competitions including: The Dutch Jazz Competition, KVEMA competition and Keep an Eye Award (incentive).
- I played in: North Sea Jazz Festival, Bimhuis, Tivolivredenburg, Paradiso Amsterdam, Melkweg, Jazz In Duketown, Grachtenfestival, Jamboree Jazz (Barcelona), B flat Jazz club (Berlin), amongst others.
- Not only Jazz! I also take part in other musical projects including: Son Mieux (NL Pop) and Valvetronic (Brassband, Hiphop, Electronic/EDM).

Education

Certificates:
- Finishing an MA degree in Jazz performance in Conservatorium van Amsterdam (AHK University)
- BA degree in Jazz performance in Conservatorium van Amsterdam (AHK University)
- Two-year BA degree Jazz performance program: “CJS” as part of “The New School” university, New York (graduated with "Cum-laude" title)

Early life musical education:
I started learning Saxophone at the age of 8 years old in Tel Aviv conservatory with the saxophonist of the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra. After a few years, I won several scholarships and prizes that led me to perform as a “young soloist” with a professional orchestra several times at the ages of 12 & 13 years old.

Even though I already liked Jazz music, I was mainly focused on classical music until the age of 18 years old. I added Jazz lessons alongside the classical ones at the age of 14 in the conservatory and went to a prestige musical high school in Tel Aviv (Ironi A for the Arts) where I joined the jazz department and eventually graduated with a cum-laude title for: “General & Artistic studies”.

Experience / Qualifications

I started working as a Saxophone & music teacher at the age of 19, and gathered a lot of experience in teaching:

- Private Saxophone lessons: through ICM conservatory (Tel Aviv) and currently in Amsterdam and Amstelveen to both kids and adults.
- “Sulamot”: A social project that provides weekly music lessons to war traumatized children in Israel and low class family immigrants, mainly from the African continent (It is a project by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and I worked there for 4 years).
- High school level (weekly): Jazz theory lessons, beginner level jazz improvisation lessons and ensemble coaching classes in Ironi A for the Art high school (Tel Aviv, 2015 - 2017)

Other educational experiences:
- One year volunteer civil service in a school of autistic kids as a teacher assistant staff
- Surf instruction (with certificate): More than 8 years of working experience with children & adults in groups and private lessons.

Composition and Arranging in jazz, classical and contemporary styles
Lessons are specifically tailored to the needs of each student, with a focus on their personal requests. I offer various approaches — teaching, coaching, mentoring. My lesson style ranges from diving into music theory and analysing great music works of the past, to developing a musical concept for your compositions and working on your personal style. I am proficient in jazz arranging and composing, classical orchestration and composition, jazz and classical theory, solfege, rhythmics, as well as working within interdisciplinary fields — combining different art forms with music. I offer a wide range of possibilities — writing your own compositions/songs; arranging for a big band (or any other ensemble); songwriting; working with strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion. Your motivation is the limit:) I am also working with Sibelius as a software, so I can teach you to use it.

Daan
Piano lessons in Amsterdam at home by an experienced piano teacher - also possible for lessons in music production
Hey! My name is Daan and I am a keyboard player, producer and songwriter and I am happy to teach piano at your home in Amsterdam. I graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam pop department and am also very active in bands (as a keyboardist, singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer) and as a producer/songwriter in various genres. As a teacher, I am mainly concerned with what the student wants to achieve and what can be gotten out of the student. Do you want to learn that one new song by Billie Eilish, or an advanced piece by Stevie Wonder; I can always help you. The great thing about music is that you can learn and perform it at all kinds of levels. My job is to find the right level for the right student, so that progress can be made at the same time as there is fun during the lessons. In addition, I find it important that my students not only play the piano, but also understand the music and build up a knowledge of the music theory behind the pieces. This has helped me a lot to quickly make big steps as a musician. You can also contact me if you write songs yourself and maybe even produce them that you want to take to a higher level. I can give you all kinds of tips to get the best out of your own compositions through my experience as a songwriter/producer. I hope to see you soon!

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).

One-on-one lessons in classical piano playing. Old or modern music, everything is possible!
I have been playing classical piano for 14 years. Obviously a lot solo, but also in ensembles, as an accompanist for flutists, violinists, clarinetists and singers.
