Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Do you have the words but the notes are a bit harder to find? Do you think writing music can be something for you? Then my lessons are definitely for you!I am a composer and musician with experience in different genres, and also in teaching people with different backgrounds and musical interests. During our lessons we analyze the music that you find interesting and inspiring, and then we use this material to work on your own songs. I try to keep the lessons as practical as possible, so we're also going to sing a lot and play together, but we're also going to learn theory and a little music history.
If you really have no experience but you have motivation, I think that's more important. We will then learn everything step by step.
Just contact us and let us discover the colorful world of music together!

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
English belowSoy un compositor especializado en música para cine, teatro y and general todo tipo de formas artísticas que combine elementos visuales con música. Me encanta colaborar con otros artistas, siento que trabajar con distintas disciplinas hace de la creación artística algo comunitario y mucho más grande de lo que cada uno individualmente podría hacer.
And mis clases, busco siempre que mis alumnos se sientan escuchados y que sus voces son válidas. Si bien hay conocimientos básicos de teoría, instrumentación, y más que es necesario aprender, mi enfoque es siempre desde cómo todo esto se puede aplicar al lenguaje que mis alumnos están buscando desarrollar. La creatividad es algo muy personal y delicado. Lo que yo quiero es justamente ayudarte a liberar tu intuición y desarrollar herramientas con las que puedas alimentar las ideas que muchas veces surgen de la nada y, si no se las cultiva, se quedan and nada.

I am a composer specialized in music for cinema, theater and in general all kinds of artistic forms that combine visual elements with music. I love collaborating with other artists, I feel that working with different disciplines makes artistic creation something communal and much bigger than what each one could do individually.
In my classes, I always my students to feel heard and that their voices are valid. While there is basic knowledge of theory, instrumentation, and more that needs to be learned, my focus is always on how all of this can be applied to the language that my students are seeking to develop. Creativity is something very personal and delicate. What I want is precisely to help you free your intuition and develop tools with which you can feed the ideas that often come out of nowhere and, if they are not cultivated, remain nothing.

Experience / Qualifications

Desde el 2014 doy clases de violín y composición a estudiantes de distintas edades y niveles. También tengo experiencia con clases grupales y talleres.Lessen ook beschikbaar in het Nederlands!
In my classes I always seek to maintain a balance between the development of basic knowledge, composition techniques and creativity. These are the three fundamental pillars that any person dedicated to composition needs.
Basic knowledge: Many are afraid of learning "too much" theory, because they believe that it can kill creativity. But what I precisely want to teach in my classes is a practical approach, where theoretical knowledge serves to further develop creativity.
Composition techniques: Each class I give small composition tasks, things that can be developed in the time you have available between classes, where we will explore different composition techniques and how they can be applied within the musical language that you want to develop.
Creativity: We work here in two ways, the first is on a project you are working on, for example a piece for your own instrument, a project for a competition or entrance exam, a song, etc. The second way is through improvisation exercises on your instrument. We will do this together, since I play violin and piano. With this we are seeing how to give space to musical intuition, to be able to capture ideas and then concretize them in a composition.
These three elements are present in each class, which is usually divided into 20-minute sections, so a lesson usually lasts 1 hour.

Samuel
Double bass, electric bass and composition lessonsHello
I'm a professional bass player living in Amsterdam. I have a passion for teaching and passing on some of the knowledge that I have acquired during my studies at several schools and heard from the musicians I look up to. I've done my bachelor degree at The Royal Academy of Music in Denmark, and I finished my Masters at Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2024.
I teach double bass, electric bass and composition.
Musically I try to be as open as I can. For me it doesn't matter if it's free jazz, traditional jazz, pop or metal as long as it feels good.
I'm a leader of my own group where we combine jazz and indie rock. we will release our debut album this fall.
I'm also a sideman in several groups.
As for composition I have experience with composing for regular jazz groups, big band, string quartet and irregular constellations such as my band with three guitars and three horns.
Some thoughts about teaching:
I believe that the most important thing when teaching is having a good relation to one another and generally just having a good time. If we don't enjoy the process we don't learn.
You should feel comfortable saying how you feel and what you want to learn/don't want to learn. With that transparency I will be able to customize the teaching and balance the curriculum so that I meet your needs while pushing you into unknown territory.
If you're reading this I'm happy that you took your time to read through it all, and hopefully we'll get to meet and talk about music!
Sofiia
Composition and Arranging in jazz, classical and contemporary stylesLessons are specifically tailored to the needs of each student, with a focus on their personal requests. I offer various approaches — teaching, coaching, mentoring. My lesson style ranges from diving into music theory and analysing great music works of the past, to developing a musical concept for your compositions and working on your personal style.
I am proficient in jazz arranging and composing, classical orchestration and composition, jazz and classical theory, solfege, rhythmics, as well as working within interdisciplinary fields — combining different art forms with music.
I offer a wide range of possibilities — writing your own compositions/songs; arranging for a big band (or any other ensemble); songwriting; working with strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion.
Your motivation is the limit:)
I am also working with Sibelius as a software, so I can teach you to use it.

Piano lessons in Amsterdam at home by an experienced piano teacher - also possible for lessons in music productionHey! My name is Daan and I am a keyboard player, producer and songwriter and I am happy to teach piano at your home in Amsterdam.
I graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam pop department and am also very active in bands (as a keyboardist, singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer) and as a producer/songwriter in various genres.
As a teacher, I am mainly concerned with what the student wants to achieve and what can be gotten out of the student. Do you want to learn that one new song by Billie Eilish, or an advanced piece by Stevie Wonder; I can always help you. The great thing about music is that you can learn and perform it at all kinds of levels. My job is to find the right level for the right student, so that progress can be made at the same time as there is fun during the lessons.
In addition, I find it important that my students not only play the piano, but also understand the music and build up a knowledge of the music theory behind the pieces. This has helped me a lot to quickly make big steps as a musician.
You can also contact me if you write songs yourself and maybe even produce them that you want to take to a higher level. I can give you all kinds of tips to get the best out of your own compositions through my experience as a songwriter/producer.
I hope to see you soon!

Teis
Learn guitar: What, how and why - by an experienced teacher and active professional musicianMy name is Teis. I am a Danish guitarist trained in Jazz music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and USC Thornton School of Music (Los Angeles). I have played since age 7, studied since age 13, and played professionally since age 18.
I work professionally as a band leader, composer, and side person.
After around 25 years of experience on the guitar, I can confidently say that I am equipped to share the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years.
In all honesty: I have never found myself to be particularly "talented". But I am a hard worker. I truly believe that talent is not something you are born with, but something you can develop and grow.
Together we will explore secrets and tips for a healthy guitar routine. We will improve your technique and ear training abilities with direct and fun exercises.
Whether you are just a beginner or an intermediate/advanced guitarist, we can explore the instrument and all its possibilities.
Practicing and playing with a teacher in a one-on-one situation is the most effective way to get better faster, and I advise it to all the guitar and music lovers out there.
In my guitar course, we start from where you are at and set a goal fitting to what you want to achieve. For example, our focus could be a.o.:
Fingerpicking
Soloing
Accompanying yourself
Songwriting
Two ways to go about it;
Single lesson: We go from where you are at the moment, and I help you move forward.
5 or 10 lesson bundle: I will make a detailed plan for you and we will conclude the lessons with a performance of some sort. I will help you elevate and broaden your skill set, in your preferred style, but also ear training and theory. We will build a sustainable practice routine together, and you will get access to a library of practice play-alongs and manuals, that you can use to build a solid platform as a musician!
Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Bass and Double Bass Lessons! Let's play some music!Does it happen to you too?
You're listening to the music and... You Just Can't Take your Focus Off the lower tones, the foundation of the song, The Bass.
Let me tell you something: if you do that it means that...
You're already Learning!
Whether you're listening to pop, rock, r'n'b, jazz, blues, you name it, the Bass is always there to work as the foundation on which the Band can build on.
I can guide your curiosity through the discovery of the various bass techniques, we can work together using the music of the artists you love to walk our way in the realm of the Low Tones.
Didn't you always want to meet up with those friends of yours and play those songs you all love?
That amazing bass riff from Muse, that lovely song from Coldplay or super cool funky Bruno Mars.
Or maybe you dream of the warm cuddly sound of the double bass, playing with the bow and feel the vibration of the Wood. Playing some Jazz, along with Miles Davis or Wayne Shorter.
With almost 20 years of experience in the low tones world I can guide you in the study of electric bass and double bass.
I'm an active performer and touring musician, as well as a master graduated Bass player. (Conservatorium van Amsterdam)
We will work together to find what best suites you.
Through the music that you love we'll find the right path to discover the world of the Bass.
P.S.: (For fearless only) I will teach also the secret art of: “Riding a bike while carrying your bass without getting killed”.

I tailor the lesson to your goals and give you practical tools that you can apply immediately.
As an active musician (in three bands), producer and graduate of the Conservatory of Amsterdam, I will take you into the world of music practice—from rehearsal space to studio and stage.
