Guitar lessons in East Amsterdam. Guitar lessons for children and adults. Guitar lessons for beginners and advanced players. Discovering Music Together There is something special about helping someone find their own musical voice, whether you are just starting out or have been playing for years. Music is something personal and deep—it is about expression, connection, and joy. In our lessons, we focus on what excites you about music. Perhaps you want to learn to improvise more freely, explore harmony in a new way, or simply play your favorite songs with greater ease. Whichever path you choose, I will help you build a solid technical foundation, while prioritizing creativity and the joy of playing. Classes for Adults & Teenagers For experienced players, we can delve deep into jazz improvisation, composition, and various playing styles. If you are just starting out, we build a solid foundation step by step, ensuring the music always remains inspiring and accessible. The goal is not just to play the right notes, but to feel truly at home on the guitar and enjoy the process. Lessons for Children – Learning Through Play Music is a powerful tool for a child's development. In addition to learning to play an instrument, it strengthens memory, concentration, and problem-solving abilities. Research shows that music also promotes language development, coordination, and emotional intelligence. I ensure that lessons for children are playful and intuitive—with games, ear training, and creative exercises so that learning feels like discovery. Whether it involves playing simple melodies or experimenting with sounds, children build self-confidence, patience, and a lasting love for music through play. A Shared Musical Journey For me, lessons are a shared journey of discovery. It is not about strict methods or quick results, but about a deeper connection with music, in a way that suits you. Does that sound like something for you? Feel free to get in touch—I would love to play music with you! Classes available in Amsterdam East

Blues Guitar and Blues Piano Lessons Delta Blues, Texas Blues, Piedmont Blues, West Coast Blues, Chicago Blues, Boogie Woogie, Barrelhouse, Jazz Blues If you want to learn to play the blues or expand your knowledge, you've come to the right place. Lessons are taught in a relaxed yet serious setting. I have a greater affinity for traditional blues than blues rock. You don't necessarily need to be able to read music, either for guitar or piano. I can teach you (the basics of) sheet music on the piano and explain the tablature system for guitar. You certainly don't have to follow the music stave religiously; finding the right feel and trying to improvise are more important and central. Recognize and understand the blues patterns: 8 bars, 12 bars, 16 bars, ragtime blues, and all its variations. A suitable schedule is made for each student personally. I'll determine what works best for you as an individual and, in consultation with you, develop a lesson plan based on that. For example, you can choose the songs you want to play and the techniques you'd like to learn/improve. I also know which instructional materials are most suitable for you and can draw from a substantial blues library, available in book, audio, and video formats. Acoustic Guitar Blues Fingerstyle, Travis picking, monotone bass, playing a bass line and melody notes at the same time, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, double stops, heel damping, playing with a thumb pick and capo, mastering the country blues positions (C, D, E, G, A) and possibly alternative tunings (e.g. Vestapol and Drop D). Learn to play in the style of Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Charley Patton, Brownie McGhee, Robert Johnson, Mance Lipscomb, etc. Electric Guitar Blues Pentatonic scales, blues ladders, blues boxes, blues chords/rhythms/licks/trills/riffs/turnarounds, phrasing, call and response, bending, vibrato, timing, dynamics. Learn to play in the style of BB King, Albert King, Freddie King, Otis Rush, T-Bone Walker, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Michael Bloomfield and more. Piano Blues Left hand patterns (eight to the bar, shuffles, walking bass, ascending and descending), tremolos, rolls, grace notes, drone notes, intros and outros, breaks, crossovers, comping, arpeggios, octaves, intervals (thirds and sixths), blues chords (6, 7 and 9) and their inversions. Learn to play in the style of Otis Spann, Memphis Slim, Big Maceo, Champion Jack Dupree, Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, Dr. John, etc. For both beginners and advanced students and all ages. Lessons in Dutch or English are possible. You can choose the lesson duration and frequency yourself. Feel free to send a message for more information and questions.

With more than 15 years teaching privately and in different institutions and countries, my aim as your teacher is that you as a student achieve whichever are your goals, be it playing in a professional band, or compose popular music in a jazz, blues or any other type of band. Besides, you can use the lessons to become a professional/semiprofessional producer composing music for movies, videogames or any type of band form, such as symphonic or philharmonic orchestra. The other use of these lessons is also achieving academic results; for instance, preparing you to enter the University or to finish your music studies.

The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS. Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress. Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward. The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you. We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire! (For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...) If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class. In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero. The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty. I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... . There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly. You can find here an indicative list of objectives that I propose in my theoretical program, which can of course adapt to your request. The general theoretical objectives of the course: --- Tuning / tuning and knowing his guitar: * Standard Tuning * Drop Tuning * Open Tuning * Adjust the optimal tension of the strings * Adjust the shaft axis * Adjust the action of the strings * Choose the strings adapted to the style of play / tuning * Change his strings -Know his chords: * Triads: Fundamental State & Inversions * Tetrads: Fundamental State & Inversions * The chord progressions of the Range * Arpeggio techniques (tapping, sweep, 1/2/4 fing.shape, etc ...) --- Know his scales and his modes * The Mode of the Major scale * 3 Modes of the Minor scale: Natural / Melodic / Harmonic * Modes of the Pentatonic range: 5 positions * Modes of the Blues range: 5 positions Etc ... --- Technique to the Pick / Plectrum / Tab / Pick (Electric Guitar): * Alternate Picking * Fast Picking / Tremolo Picking * Hybrid Picking * Palm Mute * Natural Harmonics * Pinch Harmonics * Artificial Harmonics * Shredding * Tapping * Sweep Picking * Legato Picking --- Strumming / Hand Picking (Acoustic Guitar) * "SnareDrum" percussion on the guitar * Arpeggios pinched with 4 fingers + thumb * Rasgueado (Flamenco Technique) * Generic Strumming * Fingerstyle Picking * Two-finger picking + Legato for fast melodies (eg a solo) -Play the metronome * exercises on click * practice on song riffs -Learn his favorite songs * without thinking about the difficulty, nothing is impossible with the right methodology -Improvise * choose ranges and positions * to place oneself rhythmically, to finish on the judicious notes -Theory of Harmony * Understand harmonization and its practice -Theory on the Melody -Theory of Rhythm
