Creative Sound Classes / Listening Sessions / Music Improvisation

Àpd 251.06 CNY /h

Sound is a word with a broad meaning. In these classes we will focus on listening sessions and sound composition/improvisation. At first, we will exercise the art of listening (natural and artificial/man made sounds). Later on we will try to make sound compositions and improvisations manually and on computer programs (optional).

Listening is a powerful tool for daily awareness. Listening to your surrounding, means being aware of other things and entities that exist around you, which adds on to a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s environment.

Through a selection of music, sounds and a series of exercises, I will guide you through a journey of listening to yourself and your surrounding.

Experiencing the joy of music-making can be one of the most rewarding things in life!

If you want to learn to play the piano, or to improve your piano playing, I can help you develop your technique and musicality. I am a piano coach at the conservatoire in Zwolle, and I am able to apply those skills to teaching amateur musicians as well.

After discussing your goals, I'll see what's the best way to guide you there - and then we'll get to work together! My goal is that you're inspired and enjoy exploring the piano.

I offer individual lessons of half an hour or an hour and I can teach at your house or online.

Hey peeps!
I love to give guitar lessons in a relaxed mood that will not put pressure on you, only giving you feedbacks that will improve your practice. The first lessons will generally consist of covering the basics by learning simple songs. Depending on how it goes, we will go straight into learning songs that you want to play, where you will learn even more!
I can teach you how to play across several appointments during the week so you'll learn faster and enjoy playing straight from the beginning :)

Keep growing ♥️

Hey,

I am Josefien, a Belgian harpist living in Amsterdam. As a master student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, I offer private harp lessons for young and old. I have experience in teaching and adapt the lessons as much as possible to the wishes of the student.
When you first get acquainted with the harp, we start with the basic techniques linked to simple melodies. Advanced students are also welcome to expand their knowledge of the instrument and work together on new repertoire.
Would you like to take a trial lesson or do you have further questions? Don't hesitate to contact me!

I hope to see you then!

Hi!

My name is Josefien and I am a Belgian harpist, currently living in Amsterdam. I am completing my master studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and I have experience in teaching. I am offering private harp lessons, for both children and adult students at all levels.
With beginner harpists we will focus on learning the fundamentals of the harp and cover the basic technique. With more advanced students we can work on new and more challenging repertoire together. Of course the lessons can be adapted to the wishes and needs of every student.
Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding a lesson or any further questions!
Looking forward meeting you!

Hello! I'm Nina, a drummer from Amsterdam.
I am currently studying pop/rock drums at the Herman Brood Academy in Utrecht.
I play in 2 bands. I also play in many different session projects (from pop to rock). I work a lot with hybrid drums (triggers and SPD) and also teach them with Ableton.

The studio is located in the Q-Factory in Amsterdam with two professional drum kits and sound system.
In addition, I can occasionally offer a lesson in Utrecht!
If all this is too far or for some other reason not reachable, lessons at home and / or online are also possible!

We can work on, among other things:
- Hand technique (how do I hold my sticks? Or which stick technique do I use for different music styles?)
Creativity (how can I ultimately make cool parts on the drums myself? Or different parts than what you initially came up with?)
- Improvisation (lots of playing and trying!)
- Timing (playing along with songs, with click tracks, how can I become more playful with the click?)
- Relaxed posture
- Drum notation (learning to read drum notes)
- New fills, grooves and beats
- Sound (how do I tune my drums? which drum sound do I want for different types of music?)
- Hybrid drums (working with samples on the SPD and/or triggers) in combination with Ableton

And of course we will play along to your favorite songs a lot!
I especially hope that I can create lessons together with you that match what you like and what you would like to learn. All levels and ages are welcome!

My name is Mathilde, I am a French violinist, pianist, harpsichordist, producer and composer.
I have graduated from the world’s great institutions such as the Royal College of Music London, Manhattan School of Music New-York, Brussels Royal Conservatory, and Paris-Sorbonne University (in musicology).
I have been performing concerts around the world in the most prestigious concert halls including the Châtelet Theatre and Seine Musicale (Paris), the National Opera House (Oman) and La Scala (Milan), as well as many other venues in Europe, US, China, Middle-East. During this period of time, I had been playing in the Orchestra Academy of La Scala in Milan for 2 years, and I am currently playing at the Metropole Orkest in Amsterdam.

With the experiences I gained over the years - including the teaching experience in the Conservatory of Cambrai (France) - I became an expert in teaching violin and keyboards as well as music theory, including writing and reading scores. I have been teaching to the different age groups and different levels of technical backgrounds (beginner or advanced). I can easily adapt myself to the level of each student to create a synchronicity and help them pursue their goals and wishes. I am there to help them as a teacher and a music coach for their musical career. I can combine different practices and teach basic techniques in repertoire that matches the personality of the student (from classical to contemporary, pop, rock and more). Based on the teaching experiences I have, I can consider myself as a teacher with patience, motivating style and an open mind. Happy to provide references from my previous students from Amsterdam / Paris / Milan if requested.

Next to my technical teaching skills, I am also actively involving in various musical projects. I have recently performed for major TV shows in Paris: Le Grand Échiquier (France 2), Variations (France Télévisions, Culturbox), and I am currently making my first classical / electronic album in Amsterdam.

My techniques start by assessing your level and giving specialized lessons for each. This will start by either understanding the foundations of music theory on one selected piece and slowly adding components to complete it such as emotions. My lessons can span any hours you would like, the minimum being 1 hour.

Marine

My name is Marine, I'm 28 years old and I've been playing the piano since I was 12. A graduate of the Chantilly Departmental Conservatory in France (training obtained alongside my baccalaureate), I also studied jazz for two years in a specialized school, then in jazz piano classes at the conservatory. My musical approach is therefore rich, lively and open, far from rigid classical patterns.

⸻

🎯 For whom?
• Children from 5-6 years old, teenagers and adult beginners
• No prior knowledge required
• Ideal for those who want to discover the piano while having fun, without any professional objectives

⸻

🌟 My teaching methods

The idea is not to learn the piano as a constraint, but to experience it as a pleasure, a way of expressing yourself and discovering your own musicality.

✅ Method without traditional music theory: we work by ear, drawing inspiration from videos (such as “synthesia”), well-known songs and film music.
✅ Progressive but natural learning: we start with popular music (cartoons, pop culture, film music – Disney, Harry Potter, etc.)
✅ Objective: to develop listening, musical sensitivity, interpretation, creativity, and the pleasure of playing
✅ Gentle introduction to improvisation and the first elements of jazz, if the student is curious.

⸻

🎶 Why me?

• Experience with children and adolescents (I have already helped several young people learn their favorite music)
• Lessons adapted to each student: I attach great importance to their musical tastes, their desires, their pace
• Caring, encouraging approach focused on the enjoyment of music
• I am French-speaking, but I can also adapt to an international audience if necessary.

⸻

📍 Where?

• At home (Amsterdam, De Pijp)

⸻

✨ If your child dreams of playing Let It Go, Harry Potter or The Lion King on the piano, or if you yourself finally want to dare to put your hands on a keyboard, I would be delighted to accompany you on this musical adventure.
