About Me

Yusuf, usually called Nanta, started as a violin teacher in 2015. He started his teaching journey from his former music school, where he first learned the violin. He teaches various students from different backgrounds and nationalities, such as Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, and Dutch. He gives lessons for all ages and levels. He also volunteered as a music teacher in Sanggar Anak Akar's theater project, a Foundation that provides education to street children through music and theater.

Nanta's musical journey started in 2003 in a small music school, Serenade Music Course, in his hometown, Depok City. Since then, he began to broaden his musical life through private lessons, master classes, orchestras, summer courses, and violin teaching. He participated in Chloé Trevor Music Academy in Texas, USA, where he had lessons with Rachel Kitagawa Shapiro. He also participated in masterclasses by Jun Hong Loh, Kim Chee-Yun, Gia Jashvili, Aeolus Quartet, and Paula Pérez Romero. He is a Master of Music Education graduate from Koninklijk Conservatorium (Royal Conservatoire) The Hague, where he studied violin with Ilona Sie Dhian Ho.

Nanta joined orchestras, such as Concordia Community Orchestra and Jakarta Conservatory Chamber Orchestra. He was a guest member of Orquesta de Cámara de Siero (OCAS) for Vínculos Indonesia 2017 and Ricciotti Ensemble's Futuratour, advocating social and cultural integrations through music and inclusion. He was a guest member of the Gunma Junior Orchestra for the Japan Junior Orchestra Festival 2015.

Nanta's bachelor's degree in psychology also supports his teaching, especially when encountering students' learning difficulties and supporting their learning processes, which he believes in more than the goals. Through teaching experiences, he found that focusing on the process and reflecting on and evaluating the lessons are crucial. An objective is to guide teachers and students to perceive where they are heading.

Furthermore, mutual belief is vital between the student, teacher, and parents in a student's learning process. A healthy relationship and open communication between these parties are crucial to understanding their violin lesson expectations. It is essential, especially for students, to not feel forced to achieve something they do not want to. It is also part of a learning process to commit to their own goals and enjoy the process. As a teacher, Nanta also believes that students must understand the essence of their practice, know what they have to achieve, be self-reflective, and evaluate their techniques and musicianship. It is fundamental for students to be aware of their progress and develop their self-esteem.

As a musician my primary focus is jazz music but I also often play other styles like soul, Rnb and more. So far in my teaching career I have had experience with many different ages, from 7 to 40 years old and I think I have managed to pass on to them some of my passion for music.

Happy to teach any level and any style from rock to jazz and electric or acoustic guitar.

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.

Where you can use this knowledge and apply it to your ear and vocal training, and on your instrument to become better at improvising, harmonising, arranging and composing your own music. Looking forward to seeing you!!

Guitar Lessons from complete beginner to experienced in the comfort of your own home !
With over 30 years as a professional musician and 25 as a teacher, I am able to tailor my lessons to my students' needs. I do not follow a strict path, each student has different wishes and needs so it's my job to interpret them accordingly. I travel to my students in Amsterdam, this is proven to make people more relaxed and better able to focus on the lessons. I have a long and varied history as a musician and composer, from playing sold-out concert halls to composing music for films and television. From complete beginners to more advanced players I will get you either started or help you advance your playing and musicality to the next level. Lessons in both Dutch and English ( I am English ).
