Hello! I am an English saxophonist, guitarist, pianist and composer / music theorist, currently based in Maastricht, NL. I've been playing saxophone, guitar and piano for 15 years and after building a life around music and creative expression, it's my passion to share that with anyone eager to learn; at any level. I believe music can bring so much value to our lives, it can excite us and move us, give us a sense of purpose and identity and ultimately enrich us in ways we would never otherwise grow.

Are you a musician already, but you haven’t opened the door to music theory and don’t know where to start? Perhaps you are preparing for upcoming exams, or you simply want to spark your curiosity further with the mechanics of music? At any level, I’m here to teach music theory for jazz and contemporary music.
I want to show my students the connection between music on a theoretical level and their instruments. And how understanding the building blocks of music can lead to new creative avenues through which to express themselves. It can be a struggle to know where to get started both technically and theoretically; understanding your instrument and what you are playing can help to facilitate real musical growth.
As a conservatory student, having followed advanced jazz music theory. I can help at any level to further your knowledge and understanding of music. Theory is such a powerful tool for composition, songwriting and improvisation, let’s learn together in an environment that puts you and your instrument first.
I offer classes from beginner musicians to conservatory / music school entrance exams and everything in between & beyond.
If you are interested, feel free to get in touch!
Looking forward to meeting you!
Francis

Hello! I am an English saxophonist, guitarist, pianist and composer / music theorist, currently based in Maastricht, NL. I've been playing saxophone, guitar and piano for 15 years and after building a life around music and creative expression, it's my passion to share that with anyone eager to learn; at any level.
I spent 2019-2022 touring South East Asia and East Africa playing saxophone in a jazz ensemble, and teaching at schools and privately. Music has been a passport for me to travel the world and connect with such a variety of people and cultures. I believe music can bring so much value to our lives, it can excite us and move us, give us a sense of purpose and identity and ultimately enrich us in ways we would never otherwise grow.
Whether you are just starting out on your journey as a musician and you need help with the very basics of your instrument, or you have existing experience but are looking for help / structure to take you to the next level - I am so looking forward to working with you in an engaging environment to help you turn a hobby into a serious passion. I also teach music theory if you are an existing musician but have not taken the first steps into theory yet, or you are preparing for upcoming exams all the way up to Conservatorium level.
I aim to tailor our teaching environment to fit the individual needs, level and personality of each student. Want to learn how to play saxophone, guitar or piano? Let's meet up! Want to learn new music by ear, develop your technique, or expand your harmonic / rhythmic knowledge? Don't know where to start with composition, or music theory? I'm open to it all!
Look forward to meeting you!!

Certified piano and keyboard teacher gives lessons at your home. For all ages. Both classical and modern, pop, jazz and improvisation. Music choice and level are adapted to the taste and interest of the student.
CHEAPER THAN THE MUSIC SCHOOL.

Work at home with a qualified professional musician and music teacher.
In South Limburg, from Eijsden to Roermond, and the Belgian border region from Tongeren to Maaseik.
The lessons last 30 minutes and are once a week or two weeks. I give bass guitar (pop, rock, funk, jazz) and double bass (classical and jazz). You decide the pace of the lessons yourself and you can always come up with music that you want to learn to play. Every pupil receives customization. I can always adjust the route.
You learn to play notes in a playful way. Later also music theory that is immediately put into practice. You learn to function independently as a bass player in a band, ensemble, combo or orchestra, or just, on your own.

I am a classical guitarist in Aachen and offer guitar lessons for people who would like to learn the guitar as a classical instrument! Asturias by Isaac Albeniz or the Prelude BVW 998 by Bach are good examples if you want to see what it sounds like. I also teach Latin and Spanish guitar music.
I have been teaching regularly since 2015 and I welcome students of all ages! Can also prepare for university entrance exams.

You're in good hands! As a professional cellist for 14 years now, including as a member of major European and Australian opera and philharmonic orchestras, I welcome all students, from those picking up the instrument for the first time to those preparing for professional auditions.

My primary aim in teaching is to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect in which students can draw motivation to set and accomplish their goals, with my full commitment towards helping them achieve those. Getting the foundations of good playing and good musicianship right is of course a very close and no less important second!

During their journey, students can count on my patience, understanding and sympathy to help them through all challenges. I tailor my teaching style to fit all students based on their individual needs and wishes, or those of their parents if they're too young to decide for themselves.

I'm determined to break the stereotype of teachers being failed performers and teach not only by demonstration, but by playing with students as an accompanist or duet partner, even with absolute beginners.

If you're not sure exactly what you want out of lessons, or aren't sure where to begin, let's discuss and determine that together!

Lessons take place at my place in Carré.
