Guitar lessons for Complete Beginners & Intermediate levels
Hi I'm Daniel, an enthusiastic and dedicated guitar teacher who loves meeting his students' own goals. By combining my 6 years of experience in teaching guitar with my students' own interests, I help my students make progress in the most engaging way possible.
I provide my students with a grounding in the basics of technique and theory to make sure they develop good habits, enabling them to make use of the near-infinite resources online when they want to play and learn more in their free time and later in life. I believe a good teacher is one who makes their students able to go on independently and with joy and passion for their instrument.
Learn your favourite songs, demystify music theory, learn how songs are written (and get help writing your own), learn to play songs by ear, explore a range of genres... I look forward to helping you with your own musical journey!

About Me
From London, I started playing guitar age 7. After school I moved to Amsterdam age 18 to study, after which I became a guitar teacher. I've fallen in love with the job and see myself doing it for many, many years to come.After starting with classical guitar as a child I moved to the electric guitar to play more rock and metal as a teenager, and through my 20s I widened my musical interests and abilities with acoustic, pop, blues, folk and jazz.
I speak Dutch to a very good level so I can offer to teach in Dutch. Many parents of my younger students prefer for their child to practise their English with a native speaker during their music lessons.

Electronic Music Production – Ableton Live, Synthesis, Sound Design, Composition, Mixing, Mastering, and Live PerformanceHi, my name is Jim.
I'm an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the Fontys Academy of Arts (Rockacademie) in Tilburg, Netherlands. For me, making music is about building the skills and mindset to bring creative ideas to life and I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
As Malvae, I have written, sung, produced, mixed, and performed my own music, reaching #17 in the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA, gathering millions of streams, and featuring in films like the upcoming documentary King of the Streets and a Netflix series.
One of the highlights of my artistic journey was the Amazonas Project, where I traveled deep into the Amazon rainforest to record and transform natural sounds into a full-length concept album, blending storytelling, sound design, and music into a single experience. I had the honour of headlining my own show at Melkweg Amsterdam, one of the Netherlands' most iconic venues, and curated my own events while performing immersive, self-built live sets with visuals. I’ve also taught technical music skills at professional facilities such as Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum.
Music has taken me to places I never imagined, from the Amazon rainforest to some of the most iconic stages and I'm excited to help you build your own creative path. In my lessons, I offer structured, personalised education in music production, composition, sound design, mixing, mastering, and live performance.
Areas we can explore together include:
- Developing advanced music production workflows and creative problem-solving techniques
- Composition, arrangement, and innovative sound design
- Professional recording techniques, mixing, and mastering fundamentals
- Synthesis and sampling techniques, from basics to complex sound design
- Live performance design using Ableton Live, with optional visual integration via Resolume
- Applying music theory practically within electronic, experimental, and contemporary music contexts
Lessons are tailored to your individual goals and are available both online and in-person at my studio in Amsterdam. For online students, I use specialised tools that allow us to collaborate in real-time with HD audio quality.
My own musical path often started by recording sounds from my travels around the world and blending them with synthesizers and my voice. I found my unique sound this way, and I’m excited to help you find yours.
(And don’t worry, we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to find it. I’ll show you how to transform the sounds you already have into something extraordinary.)
Whether you are just beginning your musical journey or looking to refine and deepen your craft, I look forward to working with you and helping you grow through structured, creative, and personalised electronic music education.

MONTESSORI APPROACH TO TRANSVERSE FLUTE AND MUSIC THEORYWould you like to learn the transverse flute with a new method?
This class is inspired to the Abreu method, the musical version of the Montessori teaching approach.
During the last 2 years, I have applied the Abreu method to countless scholars, with ages ranging from 8 to 70.
Results have been amazing and I really hope you can be the next!
Here's what makes it special:
- A playful approach! While learning the rules and the discipline behind music, we will boost your progress with a lot of fun. Thanks to the Abreu approach, we can master your solfeggio and play classical tracks at the same time.
- Teaching materials suitable for scholars of every level. Through many years of experience, I have collected an extremely wide range of sheets and exercises.
- During the first lesson, we schedule our work in mini-courses. This way you know exactly how much you will pay and in return for what.
- Everyone has potential and I am here to let you express it.

Piano lessons!: classical music, pop, and music theory for all ages and levels!Hi!
My name is Nadav and I am an Israeli pianist and enthusiastic piano teacher.
I give piano lessons with great pleasure and patience. The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels.
For each student I create a lesson plan that is adapted to their needs, level and (most importantly) musical desire.
You can learn both classical and pop music with me.
Lessons can be given in Dutch, English or Hebrew.

Private Drum Lessons - Jazz/Funk/Rock - (Beginner - Advanced)We will talk about your goals and together we will figure out what you exactly need to level up.
I will design a practice schedule for you with suitable exercises that you personally enjoy and find fun, cos. Hey, music is supposed to be a stress buster, but that being said you gotta work to get better at anything.
We will also talk about how it is to be a professional musician in the current music scene, and what skills apart from drumming are needed to be a musician.
I have been teaching privately for the past 3 years, with happy students, and I am so glad that I am being able to help others move further in this journey of drums and life. Let's hang out soon, Cheers!

Drum lessons (individual, ensemble playing, ear training, theory and more!)The drumset is one of the most important and powerful instruments in a music ensemble. It does not only provide the rhythm and groove foundation for all the other instruments - it also defines the sound of the band, the character of the songs, the volume... just like an orchestra conductor.
In these lessons (which are of course personalized and open depending on the interests of the student) we will work beyond the physical/mechanical aspect of the drums (technique, coordination, etc) into the musical aspect, so we will spend some time listening and analyzing music together, working on ear training and music theory from a practical point of view.
Gwendoline
Private lessons flute - music theory - theoryI am 21 years old and I am currently a flute student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I finished my studies in conservatories in France and obtained a license in music and musicology at the Sorbonne (Paris IV).
I offer personalized lessons meeting the desires and ambitions of everyone, from the simple beginner to the confirmed musician.
For the flute lessons, I offer exercises for sound, technique, adapted pieces. During music theory lessons, I can give tips for learning to read keys, rhythms, and offer dictations. Studying the theory allows you to learn to recognize chords, to calculate a score, to analyze the structure of a piece, to recognize the style from musical elements.
It is possible to combine several lessons, for example half an hour of flute then a quarter of an hour of music theory.

Iago
Piano lessons: What about learning how to play the piano?Piano is the instrument used by the romantics to make their most beautiful music, but also by the most experimental and modern composers to create their craziest music wonders. Isn't it a great instrument to play?
With more than 5 years of experience teaching in music schools and 15 years as a private piano teacher, I developed an efficient and "fun-but-efficient" way to teach how to play the instrument. Every student is different, which means the way to play and learn shall be different, making every single lesson special and rewarding.
I also offer the possibility of teaching in groups: if you want to know more about this option.
Hope to see you soon in our class!

Guitar lessons for beginners or intermediates. Pop,rock,blues...Guitar is not a hard instrument to learn, and does not require years of experience. The key is in learning and practicing usefull exercises, and basic body and finder positions. My classes will consist of such basic steps, followed by songs that the student chooses to learn.
Maya
Composition Lesson for children and adults in AmstrdamComposition lessons are for anyone who wishes to compose music, for any instrument, emsemble and/or electronics music.
My teaching method combines various approaches and styles, supporting practice with theoretical knowledge, and most important developing creativity and helping the student in making their imagionary visions come real.
For each student a different palate of tools is offered, according to the student's musical wishes and ambitions.
I teach the basis of western-music composition - theory, harmony, counterpoint, score-reading, solfege, rhythm, analysis and more.
Further I suggest broad overview of world, jazz, pop, new/contemporary music, various styles in electronic music (popular and experimental), improvisatory compositions, graphic notation, text and game pieces, music for theater, film and dance and interdicsiplinary works which combine music with other art fields.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisationHey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
See you soon!
Richard
PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
