Hello, I'm Johanna. I'm a classical saxophonist from Belgium.
I studied saxophone in Belgium and have now continued my saxophone and pedagogy studies at the Cologne University of Music and Dance.
Whether you are new to the saxophone, returning to the saxophone or already have some experience, all levels are welcome.

Hello!
If you or any of your children would like to enjoy learning music and playing the clarinet easily, let me know!
My name is Claudia, I'm 25 years old, and I'm a Spanish clarinetist. In March 2019, I completed my Master's in Clarinet Performance at the Sibelius Academy (Helsinki) and since September, I've been working with the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra (Finland) as co-principal clarinet. I currently perform with chamber music groups and various orchestras throughout Europe. I will be living in Cologne from January 2020.
I have experience with both children and adults.
I also really enjoy teaching my native language, Spanish, at beginner and intermediate levels, or conversation classes.
If you are interested, I would be very happy to meet you!

If you would like to learn drums or are looking for ways to take your existing skills to a higher level, then I can help you.

I began my studies at the Maastricht Conservatory in 2017 with Arnoud Gerritse and Ron van Stratum and successfully completed them in 2021. In addition to various band projects in the areas of rock, jazz, hip hop and other related music genres, I have also been giving lessons for about 5 years and since I have now moved to Cologne after completing my bachelor's degree, I would like to offer them here too.
The lessons are aimed at both beginners and advanced students and can also be used as preparation for the entrance exam.

Hello! I am a Spanish trumpet player residing in Cologne. I started playing the French horn when I was 6 years old and I studied my bachelor's degree in Madrid and my master's degree in Amsterdam. I offer lessons on modern and historical horn (baroque horn or natural horn).

No matter what your level, age or expectations, I am a flexible teacher with experience teaching people of all ages, levels, musical preferences and backgrounds. Lessons will be adapted to the student's progress, circumstances and requirements.

I balance musicality and fun by ensuring that each lesson challenges you with a new technical or theoretical concept, but always ends with something fun, like your favorite sheet music or song.

Hello dear flute fans, modern and historical :-)
For me, music is not just sound, but also expression, connection, and a lifelong learning process. Teaching is fulfilling because I get to witness how music opens doors, builds self-confidence, and unleashes creativity. Every student has their own story, their own pace, and individual goals – this makes the lessons lively and unique. I give my best, am patient, curious, and always open to my students. It is simply a gift to be part of this journey and to discover the language of music together with my students. I teach modern flute, transverse flute, and recorder.

I’m a professional pianist and teacher. I love helping students of all ages enjoy music and find their own voice. My lessons are tailored to each student, and it’s amazing to watch them grow from playing notes to telling their own musical story.
