Then learn to improvise intuitively on the piano with me. You can start with this if you have no experience at all, but also if you already have musical experience on the piano or on another instrument.

About Me
My name is Kris. I'm passionate about music and play acoustic folk music in different bands. Music is my life and as a musician I can be creative and share the joy in playing music. I love to play in the balfolk scene in which people dance to live folk music inspired by Western-European folk music traditions. The interaction between me as a musician and the dancers on the dance floor is amazing. Together we can create a social settings in which people can enjoy the music and share happiness.Education
Scandinavian Folk music education - Folkhögskola Sweden. During this study I focused on instrumental techniques, music theory, arranging music and playing together as a group.Experience / Qualifications
- I have played both at national and international venues and festivals (e.g. Belgium, Germany, Sweden)- I have recorded 3 studio albums and 1 EP with two different bands
I have been playing mandolin in various folk bands for many years and am happy to share my joy for this instrument with anyone who wants to learn it. This instrument is easier to understand than a guitar, and smaller to carry. It has a beautiful sound and you can play this instrument in many different styles. From classical to folk, from jazz to bluegrass. So much is possible!
You indicate what music you like and I will help you on your way as a musician. With patience and attention, and passion for the music. If you like, I can help you with music theory and you can learn to read sheet music. I can also give you music lessons entirely by ear, because you can enjoy playing the mandolin even without theory and sheet music.
The mandolin can also be an interesting instrument if you someday want to learn to play the violin. The reason for this is because the tuning of these instruments are the same. The advantage of the mandolin is that you have frets (similar to a guitar), which means you have to put less effort into playing in tune compared to the violin. If you later switch from the mandolin to the violin, you will understand the strings, and therefore where to find notes on your instrument, much better. Once you improve your violin technique, you can easily transfer all the songs you can play on the mandolin to the violin.

INDIAN CLASSICAL or Singing for beginner VOCAL. or ESRAJI have over 20 years of experience in vocal performance and am currently a dedicated learner of Indian classical vocal music and Esraj. I have also had the opportunity to perform in India, gaining valuable experience and deepening my connection to the art. Singing is my passion, and I am committed to supporting those who share the same dedication and love for music.
Born and raised in Japan, I was introduced to music at an early age and have spent years exploring various vocal techniques and musical traditions. While my foundation is in contemporary and traditional styles, my journey led me to Indian classical music, where I continue to refine my skills under esteemed mentors. This pursuit has allowed me to immerse myself in a rich and intricate musical tradition, enhancing both my vocal technique and artistic expression.
Alongside performance, I am passionate about teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. Whether you want to deepen your understanding of vocal music, explore Indian classical techniques, or sing in Japanese, I am here to support your journey. If you have a song you’d like to sing in Japanese, I can help you with pronunciation, phrasing, and emotional expression. We can also work on vocal training together to develop your range, breath control, and confidence.
In addition to teaching, I continue to perform and collaborate with artists across different genres, bridging musical traditions and fostering cross-cultural connections. My goal is to create a space where music becomes a powerful tool for self-expression, creativity, and personal growth. Let’s explore your potential together and bring your musical aspirations to life!

Saxophone lessons for all levels! (Online or at your place)With beginner saxophone students, we will first work on proper instrument holding and posture. Then, before blowing into the saxophone, we will practice long-tone exercises using the mouthpiece. Once comfortable with these fundamentals, we will start producing sound from the instrument and learning the notes. We will focus on long-tone exercises to develop control and consistency.
We gradually start incorporating short exercises or simple melodies as the student progresses. Learning and progressing on an instrument mostly depends on the student's dedication and practice habits.
If you love music and commit time to it, you can reach a good level in a short period!
