About Me
Hello! My name is Yiannis I'm 21 years old and I'm from Greece!
I've been playing trombone since the age of 9 and I'm a third-generation musician. I acquired my trombone Diploma in Greece and decided to follow my dream of expanding my knowledge of playing the trombone. So I started studying in the Hague! Here I met another thing that I love very much, teaching.
Teaching is such a beautiful procedure. Both teacher and student learn so much from each other and it is also so fun!

In Italy I taught in 4 different schools of music, there I had the opportunity to gain a lot of experience with students of all ages and all levels. I have had many children pupils, who approached the trombone or another brass instrument for the first time, as many amateurs of all ages who needed a guide for their path, but also adults with a great knowledge of music, who wanted to perfect themselves and find inspiration to cultivate their passion.

If you are approaching the Trombone for the first time, there are NO requirement, book your lesson and you will try the instrument at my place, then if you want to progress you will need to buy your own instrument. If you are an amateur or you already study in another school but you want to perfect yourself or you need any help for any issues, just come by and we will see together your level and what you need to improve. Many masterclasses all around Italy and abroad taught me that every student is different, and a teacher can change your life just by saying the right sentence, we will work together.

I have several methods to study any technical issue of the trombone, and a lot of inspiring exercises, we will find together the books that fit you better. To have a proper education, I take care about ear training, singing, and of course breathing and body posture as well, I want you to feel good with your instrument and to approach to the music in a relax and funny way.

For young beginner, the lesson will focus on inducing interest of playing the instrument through games and sounds that they interested in. Apart from instrumental basic techniques, basic musical theory will also be another main focus for the lesson.

For intermediate students, half of the lesson will focus on strengthen the basic technique and enhance the musicianship.

For Advanced students, the lesson will focus on refining the the advance technique and musical ideas.

*Practicing recording will be given for students to have a clear idea for practicing. Students can always send recordings for feed back beside the lesson time.

Trumpet Lessons The Hague - Delft
Music is an important part of anyone’s life at any stage, which is why I believe teaching an instrument should be made available to all ages. Whether you have a young child who has developed an interest in the trumpet, or you are a working professional who just fancies a new hobby, or anyone in-between, I will develop lesson plans tailor made to you. Learn to improvise, develop your creativity or even play classical concerto’s!

Classical - Jazz - Pop
From the age of 7, I trained as a classical trumpet player, and then developed an interest in jazz at 13. I have a Bachelors in Classical music from London, and a Jazz Bachelors and Masters from the Netherlands. You can therefore feel confident that no matter what your interest may be (perhaps you don’t even know yourself yet), I can give you high quality training in your own interests.

What to expect- Beginners
For beginners, I take the time to let you get acquainted with the trumpet, learning repertoire, simple theory and technique, gradually moving to more advanced studies and incorporating jazz into the equation.

Jazz Basics
My jazz lessons start with the basics - learning simple music theory and harmony, the appropriate scales and getting a taste for the jazz language, common repertoire and the tradition.

Challenge
As you advance, we will explore more challenging rhythm, harmony and melody. Learning musical transcription (the process of writing down sounds on to paper) is crucial for development and also covered in lessons as well as mental-practise. For trumpet players the true key to success. Of course, my lessons are always friendly, relaxed and personal!

Intermediate - Advanced
My lessons consist of trumpet technique, i.e gaining the facility to be able to meet the demands of professional trumpet playing and the knowledge to deal with the daily struggles of what is essentially a very a demanding instrument.

Breathing Embouchure
This of course includes breathing, posture, embouchure, articulation, long tones, sound production, flexibility, finger dexterity, endurance, scales/arpeggios, sight-reading and ear training. It is important to develop everyday fundamental routines: keeping in shape, as well as devising formalised structures within trumpet practise. The often heard phrase goes - it's not how long you practise but how and what - which is incredibly relevant to trumpet players.

Flexible and able to travel
I live in the Hague and teach from my apartment, but am happy to travel to another location if it’s convenient!
Home lessons in Delft may be arranged.

Help buying the right Instrument!
When starting out, choosing what trumpet to buy can be confusing and sometimes stressful! I am happy to give advice and accompany you to a music shop, to ensure the choice you make is right for you.

To Conclude
If any of the above sparks your interest for you or a family member, please do get in touch.

The trombone, trumpet or piano seem hard instruments to learn, but with the right approach it's a fun and enjoyable process filled with small tasks that will make you improve and have fun at the same time.
The same goes with music theory and composition; the classes are structured in a way that you wont feel overwhelmed with too much information because the goals and method will be set based on your level and needs.

All offered classes are available for students of every age and level, the only thing you need is to make the first step by signing in and we will make a plan together after we have met.
