Experienced singing teacher and professional singer with international training. Extensive experience teaching individual and group lessons.

From 60 € /h

My name is Arthur Akaev. I'm a professional singer and music teacher with extensive international training and active stage experience. I graduated as a music teacher (primary and secondary education) from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and also studied voice at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in St. Petersburg.
I teach singing to children, teenagers, and adults, both individually and in groups. In my lessons, I combine sound vocal technique with musicality, expression, and confidence. I believe it's important that students feel free in their voices and learn to sing with joy, in a way that suits their personal abilities and goals.
Besides my teaching, I'm also active as a performing artist. I give concerts and have participated in various television programs and music competitions. In 2025, I was a finalist on Holland's Got Talent and in 2024, a contestant on the TV program ARIA. I consciously incorporate this stage experience into my lessons, for example, when preparing for performances and dealing with stage fright.
My lessons are suitable for both beginners and advanced students and can focus on technique, interpretation, performance, or audition preparation. Together, we'll work on a strong, free, and authentic voice.

Hi, I'm Federica, I am Italian, and I am a Jazz piano player and singer. I studied at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague and I just completed a master in Vocals and Piano at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I give Jazz/Pop/Classical Piano lessons but my main goal is to try to give the student a general understanding of the music to approach every style and to have fun with music! I love to work with children, I like to teach them good values like patience, self-confidence, trust, communication, and collaboration, all through music. That's what I learn every day by studying music and that's what I would like to transfer to my students. I've been told that If you have music in your life, you can't be a bad person. I believe in it.

I offer live and online lessons:
Piano
Singing
Ear Training
Technique
Improvisation
Repertoire
Music Theory

My teaching method meets the student's needs. Above all, I try to make people keep their passion and taste for music and my main goal is to make music or art a pleasure and not a sacrifice.

I motivate students, showing them the benefits of exploring their unique talents, but also not hiding the need for continuous work and with some obstacles, sometimes difficult, to overcome.

I let the students bring their own musical choices and, over time, I also recommend material that I think may be useful for a faster, simpler, and more efficient evolution.
As I said, I focus on the pleasure of singing but also on the technique that allows us to achieve the best results with less effort.
I hope that my way of teaching will work with you, but we always have to adapt to the needs and personalities of each one.
Come and try it!

You'll learn how to use the voice in the proper way, starting by your natural speech and developing it to find your own sound. I have experience in both Pop and Jazz styles (a Bachelor in Jazz Singing and a degree in Jazz Composition), so it's possible to study songs from both this repertoires. I also give Music Theory Lessons, to make the student develop his/her own style and musical sensibility and, in the case of Jazz, to know how to improvise on different chord changes and jazz styles.

Graduate in Performing Arts from TAI University

Graduate in Psychology with a Master’s in Music Therapy from UNED

Specialized jazz studies at Berklee College of Music and Escuela de Música Creativa

Studies in singing styles and vocal physiology at Nina Academia

Vocal recovery training with LaxVox at Aurea Speech Therapy Clinic

I have been studying opera and classical singing since the age of 12, as well as jazz, choral, and musical theater singing. I have been performing in musicals since 2015.
These studies have given me a wealth of tools to adapt to what each student needs and wants, because the most important thing is that we never stop enjoying music.

My classes are based on three core principles. The first is having a clear method, rooted in the real functioning of the voice—its physiology (what science tells us about how we use the body to sing)—and applicable to anyone, step by step, with logic. I always prioritize the student’s vocal health and rely on scientifically proven methods. I use simple language, without unnecessary technicalities, so everything is easy to understand and makes sense.

The second is the emotional and psychological aspect. For me, connecting with the person in front of me is essential—understanding how they think, how they perceive themselves, what blocks them, and what motivates them. This way, I can adapt the classes to their personality and goals. I try to create a relaxed environment based on respect, trust, and a little humor, where everyone feels free and comfortable. We aren’t all born with the voice we wish we had, but we can all develop what we do have—and on that journey, singing becomes a way to know and accept yourself better.

And the third is the dedication and professionalism with which I approach this work, which I am truly passionate about.

All classes are divided into a warm-up and vocalization section, followed by work on a chosen piece suited to the student’s level and preferred style. Regardless of style or level, a foundation in classical singing will always be established.

Together, we will dive into the secrets of operatic technique, which is considered the most healthy for our voice. We will explore the classical repertoire in a fun way with movement and breathing exercises, tailor-made for you. I am a vocal coach and classical singer, an alumnus of the Conservatory of Amsterdam.

I say that I am just passionate about the musical voice that each one of us holds inside. Specializing in vocal education, I love teaching both beginners and advanced, and sharing the joy of singing, because I believe that everybody can—and should—sing!

Hello, my name is Marlou. I was nine years old when I first held a guitar. It was love at first sight. I always have my guitar with me. I've been teaching for ten years, and after a year of lessons, one of my students uttered the unforgettable line: "My guitar is my soulmate." With a guitar, you have a friend for life. I want everyone to experience that.
Everyone learns differently. Some people want to learn notes and visualize sheet music, while others play by ear. Some want to hear a song first and sing it without a guitar, while others want to play along right away. It's all possible. In your first lesson, you can tell me what you want to learn, and I tailor my lessons accordingly.
After each lesson, I'll give you exercises to practice at home. The more you practice at home, the faster we'll progress. If you'd like, you can record the lesson so you can listen to it again at home and practice along with it.
I'll teach you all the basic chords. I'll pay close attention to your guitar posture and the way you place your hands and fingers on the guitar. The better you master the basic chords, the easier it will be to learn new and more complex things later. I can also teach you how to strum the guitar. And if you're interested, I can teach you how to read music.

If you'd like to learn to sing while you perform, I can teach you simple tricks to make singing easier. I'm not a singing teacher, but thanks to my initial training in speech therapy, CVT (Complete Vocal Training) singing lessons, and my stage experience as a singer, I have extensive knowledge of learning proper breathing and training your breath support. I can also teach you how to overcome your shyness, if that's your problem. Playing and singing at the same time will then become a lot of fun.
