Clear, helpful lesson. Ildo was quickly able to respond to my learning goals and come up with exercises and theory to go through.
This was an eye opening session that I have loved. It was the first class with Ildo and I am excited for the many one's to come. Great!

Piano lessons for reading sheet music, learning favorite pieces, improvising and more.
Piano lessons for reading sheet music, learning favorite pieces, improvising and more. In a very calm and friendly environment, the classes are organized and planned according to the students goals/wishes. I can teach you about harmony, how to construct and play melodies and whatever interest in music you might have. While improving the piano technique, I will make sure the student enjoys the lesson and has a sense of improvement every week.

Bass lessons and music theory lessons for beginners and intermediate
I am an italian bass player, I'm 25 years old and actually I am finishing the last year of my bachelor in jazz music at Codarts. If you're a beginner i will teach you the basics of the instrument and the basics of musical theory (wich is essential to be a good bass player). We will also dive into various musical genres, trying to have a complete approach to music as possible. If you already play bass and want to improve your skills or your knowledge of musical theory i will teach you some advanced techniques and focus on advanced harmony and studies for improvisation. We will also work on finding your own voice on the instrument and learning how to create original basslines

Alessio
Double bass, Electric bass, Improvisation, Music, Jazz, Classical, Pop, Rock!
Do you want to play bass? Do you want to learn more about music? Do you have a music group that needs a coach? I can help you with that! My name is Alessio and I am an Italian professional double bass/bass player with degrees in classical and jazz. I've been living in the Netherlands for over 10 years and I have more than 15 years of professional "live music" experience, including teaching children and adults. I have always believed in the power of music to connect with others and forge relationships across linguistic and cultural boundaries. In my opinion, the music discipline is one of the best drivers for a student to learn deeply about themselves. In my lessons, we will make sure to cover many aspects of playing, from the physical approach to the instrument (especially important for double bass players) to the personal musical expression. Depending on your wishes and needs, we can focus on: Genres: jazz, improvisation, classical, pop, rock, metal, funk, blues, etc... Learning deeper: ear training, harmony, theory, music theory Band coaching All levels (beginner, intermediate, conservatory preparation) Online lessons possible and personal lessons possible in Rotterdam and The Hague Languages: I can teach in English, Italian, and Spanish

Apollonia Maria
Beginner to Advanced Lessons for Guitar Players for all ages
After dedicating 14 years to mastering the guitar, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of guitar playing, encompassing both foundational techniques and advanced music theory. In these lessons, I'll be sharing the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated over this extensive period of learning. I will be covering a broad range of guitar techniques, including fingerpicking, strumming techniques, major and minor chords, power chords, barre chords, riffs, scales, finger warm-ups, practising any song of your choice, string bending, pull-offs, hammer-ons, harmonics, strumming patterns, and slides. All are provided with diagrams etc. For music theory, I will begin by covering the fundamentals, including notes, strings, and the musical 12-note chromatic scale alphabet on the guitar. As students progress, we will delve into more advanced topics such as tones, semitones, chord progressions, circle of fifths, scale formulas and chord terminology. Additionally, we will explore concepts like consonance and dissonance and pitch practice to develop relative pitch. (You have to be born with perfect pitch but you can learn relative pitch with practise!) Then advancing to jazz theory, we'll explore; jazz scale formulas, jazz chord progressions, swing techniques, major and minor 7th chords, major and minor 9th chords, dominant, augmented, half-diminished, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. And then jazz scales and the art of re-harmonising a song (changing the chords to jazz chords). All music theory will be intertwined with guitar practice as both can't be done without the other! One observation I've made while learning guitar through lessons is that information is often doled out incrementally, making it feel like a breadcrumb trail. Guitar knowledge and skills seem to be closely guarded and usually gatekept unless actively sought out. I strongly believe that the extensive knowledge I've acquired over 14 years of playing should be fruitfully shared in a more comprehensive and accessible manner, of course while being tailored to the pace of the students. In essence, I'm convinced that the depth of my understanding I've gained could be effectively conveyed and learnt within a two-year timeframe without including the time it takes to master the skill with practice, of course, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn the guitar and the theory behind it. I have also graduated with a distinction for my Music Performance and Production UAL Level 3 Course and have experience teaching guitar in London and Bristol before. The lessons will be taught in English so practising your English with me is also a plus, a foundational knowledge of English is required to take the lessons.
