I like to have a structured approach to my lessons, while also adapting them to each student’s level and interests. Some of the subjects we can cover include: • Building a repertoire: Blues, Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, R&B & Soul • Guitar technique • Music theory: Chords & Scales • Rhythm and rhythmic studies • Guitar accompaniment and comping techniques • Improvisation and guitar solos • Sight reading • Ear training • Songwriting and composition • Guitar recording and basic home recording techniques For beginners, we can start with the basics and gradually build a strong foundation\. If you already play guitar, we can focus on developing your technique, expanding your repertoire, or working on specific areas you’d like to improve. The lessons are practical and focused on actually making music, so we can always use songs and music that you enjoy as part of the process.

Ableton is an diverse, creativity-fueled music production software that allows you to create, compose and experiment with sound. It is a powerful tool for both music production and for live performances.

My classes are suitable for complete beginners, as well students at an intermediate levels. Together we will dive into the software on both a practical and creative level, all while keeping your creative goals in mind.

Learning to play the piano is challenging - but also a lot of fun! I make sure that my students learn quickly, in order to achieve their goals and play their favorite pieces. In my bachelor and master studies, I specialized in Jazz and improvised music but I also have experience with teaching and playing classical repertoire and all in between. Depending on your goals and your favorite musical genres, I will make a personalized teaching plan that focuses on the music you actually want to play and the exercises that you need to get there.

Rather than a fixed curriculum, I build a custom syllabus for each student based on their needs, goals, and current level. In designing lessons, I draw on my own experience both as a self-taught musician and as an academically trained one — combining structured, conservatory-level methods with the flexibility that comes from having found my own way into this field first. Lessons are shaped in pace and format to what actually works for the student in front of me — whether that means working note-by-note through an audition piece, or building broader theoretical fluency over a longer stretch of time.

I teach piano to kids and adults. My goal is to teach you how to connect with the instrument, learn the notes and create your own style of playing. I teach the classical way but that does not limit our repertoire; we will focus on whatever songs/pieces you prefer and want to learn. Music is one of the most important arts and it is my goal to make you love it even more!

Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to the guitar, or are looking to develop your skills further, lessons are designed to be practical, enjoyable, and encouraging. We can develop your technique, sight reading, chords/harmony, scales, repertoire, improvisation, ear training, music theory and performance skills. I welcome students who want to develop serious ability and freedom on the instrument as well as students interested primarily in learning their favorite songs. Each lesson is adapted to your level and pace, with clear guidance and achievable goals to help you build confidence and make steady progress. My aim is to help you become a more confident, creative, and independent guitarist while, most importantly, enjoying the process of learning.

I believe music is for everyone and anyone can be a good musician, given enough patience and effort. I chose guitar because it is simply one of, if not, the most versatile and "alive" instrument out there. Here, my aim is to teach you everything that I know regardless of your experience. From basic chords to learning how to improvise and, why not, write your own songs at some point.

If you are interested in composition, music production, songwriting and performance but feel like you need some technical or creative motivation, this is the lesson for you. If you feel discouraged or overwhelmed by the technical aspects of a creative process, this is the lesson for you. In these lessons, we will work on making the most of what we have through creative-problem solving and inspiration-hunting. You bring your ideas and we develop them together, have challenging conversations and explore alternative approaches to composition, production and songwriting to get you closer to your vision. We will also explore the many possibilities of working with a live band, ensemble or orchestra and how to encourage a healthy but focused work process. Some more things covered in the process: - Logic Pro X (mixing, producing, sampling, midi, audio recording) - Composition (score writing / editing, notation software, orchestration / arrangement, music theory, composing for film / video) - Songwriting (arranging, alternative score-writing, band communication, demo-making) - Experimental production (eg. no-input mixing, prepared instruments, effect-pedals) _________________________________________________________________ Do not let your ambition be hindered by limitations, but allow it to be inspired by them!

For me, lessons are not about rushing through theory or trying to sound “correct” as quickly as possible. They’re about finding what excites you, understanding the music you already love, and building the skills to play, create, and express yourself with confidence. Lessons can focus on one area or combine things naturally — for example, learning guitar while writing your own songs, or using Ableton to develop an idea into a full arrangement. My goal is to keep music curious, practical, and enjoyable, and to help each student find their own way into it.

Hello! My name is Jade. I’m an undergraduate student and have been playing the piano for 15 years; I graduated from the Geneva Conservatory. In my lessons, I focus on practice and improving technique. Although I have prepared lessons and pieces, I give my students a great deal of freedom in choosing their sheet music, the intensity of their lessons, and the type of instruction they need. I see the piano as a passion and, above all, an art form which, as such, shouldn’t become a source of stress or frustration. We’ll make progress through small successes and can explore a variety of genres, from classical music to songs, pop, and even film scores. My priorities are for students to learn the notes and develop the ability to read sheet music easily, as well as rhythm and interpretation. We can complement this approach with training in musical ear and singing, as well as the basics of music analysis. I’d be happy to welcome you to my studio in De Pijp or can come to your home. I look forward to meeting you!
