Trumpet Lessons and Music Coaching (all ages and levels)

Van 113.7 $ /h

Welcome! My name is Caleb and I look forward to working together in lessons online or at your home around The Hague!

My teaching is customized to support each student's musical goals. Prior to moving to The Hague, I spent five years teaching group and private lessons for a variety of arts education organizations in Philadelphia (USA). In each space, I create safe and fun learning environments for students by maintaining a consistently supportive demeanor and by using positive reinforcement to encourage student behavior and growth. I’m patient, and empathetic, and maintain a firm belief in all students’ capacity for improvement and success.

In the lessons, we will focus on creating a beautiful, efficient, and flexible sound through various exercises and musical pieces. I will facilitate exploration that leads students to learn about effective learning habits and to be able to self-identify what they can do to improve. This helps students become their own teachers – an essential skill for improving in music, and also relevant in many other areas in life.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you!

Caleb

A bit about me:
Originally from Indiana (USA), I have performed professionally with the International Chamber Orchestra of Puerto Rico, with organist Clara Gerdes at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, and with members of the American Brass Quintet at the Aspen Music Festival. As a baroque trumpeter, I have performed with The Sebastians, the Philadelphia Bach Collegium, with members of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, and with the Jeune Orchestre de l’Abbaye and Philippe Herreweghe at the Festival de Saintes. While attending Curtis Institute of Music, my colleagues and I won first prize at the National Trumpet Competition (USA) in the trumpet ensemble division.

As a passionate advocate for music education and arts access, I served as an ArtistYear fellow, teaching sixty-five recorder students at Powel Elementary School in Philadelphia during the 2016-17 school year. I have also served as a teaching artist for Jazz Aspen Snowmass and Philadelphia’s Play on Philly.

As a founding member of The Brass Project from 2016-2018, I premiered over thirty new works written for the ensemble. During this time The Brass Project was featured by Santa Fe Pro Musica, at National Sawdust, and at Music from Angel Fire. Our debut album, “Cityscaping,” was released in December 2018.

I recently graduated with a master’s degree in baroque trumpet at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. I earned an Artist Diploma at the Curtis Institute of Music, and a bachelor’s degree at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music.

Ben je geïnteresseerd in de trompet en op zoek naar lessen? Dan kun je hiervoor bij mij terecht in Den Haag of aan huis. De privélessen duren 45 minuten en worden één keer per week of om de week gegeven.

Als je nog nooit trompet hebt gespeeld neem ik alle tijd voor jou om je op de juiste manier trompet te laten spelen. Ik zal in het begin vooral veel aandacht besteden aan het volgende:

Ademhalingstechniek
Het op de juiste manier vasthouden van een trompet
Het nemen van de juiste houding
Het plaatsen van je lippen op het mondstuk op de juiste wijze
Het spelen van je eerste noot
Het lezen van muzieknoten
Dit alles gaat allemaal stapsgewijs. Ik geef les uit het boek Horen, Lezen, Spelen van de Haske. Dit boek bevat een CD zodat je de oefeningen thuis mee kunt spelen. Als je al trompet speelt ga ik ook letten op ademhalingstechniek, houding en aanzet, maar de oefeningen zullen lastiger worden. Ik zal ook met jou doornemen waar je problemen liggen op het gebied van trompet spelen. Aandachtspunten:

Techniek
Samenspel
Uithoudingsvermogen
Het vormen van een mooie klank

Lessen en lesgeld:

Het is aan te raden om wekelijks les te nemen om voldoende vordering te maken. Minimaal één les in de twee weken is nodig voor een zekere regelmaat. Een les duurt standaard 45 minuten maar alles is aan te passen aan persoonlijke wensen

Voorwaarden algemeen:
Voor lessen bij de leerling thuis worden reiskosten doorberekend.
Een les die niet 24 uur van te voren telefonisch is afgezegd wordt wel in rekening gebracht.
Op lessen voor 5 (of meer) leden van één vereniging, geven wij 10% korting als de betaling via de vereniging loopt.

I specialize in teaching about Music and how to play the Guitar.
In class, I always make an effort to understand what are the goals and interests of all students, as well as their skills. This way we can address the issues at hand more effectively and make sure the student never loses his/her interest and focus in music and his/her instrument. I believe that an honest and friendly relationship between teacher and student is essential for this exchange of ideas to happen more clearly and fluently, so I do my best to make everyone feel comfortable enough to share their thoughts freely.
I offer good and personalized classes. This means that there will be special care with your interest in music and guitar, all basic skills will be worked upon and strengthened, all specific requests and ideas will be addressed, both improvisation and interpretation can be developed, and exploring potential, achieving goals and having fun are main priorities.
Come and enjoy learning more about Music and Guitar!

There are two grand pianos at the location in Den Haag.

For children, it is important to develop basic musical skills through Singing, Rythmique, and Ear training besides piano playing. I use one technical exercise book, the main textbook, and a theory book. Through these 3 books, students learn different aspects of music and they naturally get ready for exams and grades.

After acquiring basic skills, students study Harmony and Chord exercises too. These are useful for playing pops and jazz, and they obtain a deeper understanding of classical pieces too.

Private Piano lesson, from age 4 and above. Children can start the lesson after being able to read the numbers from 1 to 5 and the alphabet from A to G.

Advanced students who want to prepare for competitions, auditions, ABRSM, GCSE, IB exams, or the entrance exam of the conservatory.

The concert is held annually together with students of flute, violin, and composition teachers.

For the ages 1-7 years, I have group Rhythmique lessons.

Hello! I am a classically trained pianist with a Master's Degree from the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
I have 9 years of teaching experience, with students from all ages and levels. My teaching methodology is focused on adapting to the student's needs and motivations while passing on my knowledge to help the student develop musical independence and create a personal connection with music.

I organize 2 class concerts per year in a beautiful venue, so that the pupils perform their favourite pieces and showcase their progress to family, friends, and classmates.

During the lessons, there are several aspects of piano playing that I can help with, according to the student's aims and musical level:
- learning how to read scores
- basics of music theory
- develop technical capabilities
- learning how to play by heart
- finding your musical taste
- preparing for piano exams (ABRSM)

And the most important aspect is to have fun and enjoy the journey!

[ENGLISH BELOW] I am a Czech violinist, based in The Hague. I obtained a Master of Music degree in classical and modern violin at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with a grade of 10/10. Since then I have been working as a concert violinist, chamber musician (playing in small groups and ensembles) and as a freelancer in orchestras throughout the Netherlands. I am captain of the Doelen Ensemble in Rotterdam and a much sought-after collaboration partner for recording studios, dancers, composers of new and film music and theater makers. As a teacher I have experience in private education, special conservatory preparation and competition training, as well as as a guest teacher at the Brno Conservatory (Czech Republic). I play both classical acoustic violin and electric violin.

In my classes I offer both traditional classical music training (technique and classical music pieces) based on my 20 years of work and study with leading teachers and violin virtuosos (the best of the Czech, American and Russian schools of technique), as well as lessons for those who only have enough want to learn to play and improvise with their favorite songs by their favorite singer. We will use the violin in all musical genres and base our curricula on your wishes, dreams and ambitions, always designing your tailor-made learning path together and adapting if necessary. I like to work with all ages, learning difficulties or various physical abilities; music is open to everyone and above all should be a fun way to connect with others and the world.

We will use the violin in all genres of music and base our learning plans on your wishes, dreams and ambitions, always custom-designing your learning trajectory together and adjusting as needed along the way. I am happy to work with any ages, learning differences or diverse physical abilities, music is open to all, and most of all, should be a fun way to connect with others and the world.

(For English scroll down)

You can choose one or both of the following subjects: Harmony (chords/scales, tonalities/progressions, modulations, etc.) and/or Solfeggio (rhythm/auditory skills, pitch/sight-reading).

The method I use also has an online audio (play along), so you can also play/sing the pieces at home with the accompaniment - online audio: Classical and/or pop/jazz, etc.

There's also the opportunity to learn about Harmony and Keyboard Voicings (chords/harmony and chord melody). These methods can be put into practice with Harmony Progressions (including with your own compositions/songs, etc.) to see how Harmony works with the concept of Functional Harmony and beyond.

We discuss where your musical preference lies and which way we are going. In any case, fun is paramount!

Classes are for all levels and ages. Online classes are also available via WhatsApp, etc.

Hi all! My name is Anna Jane, and I am a violinist and teacher based in The Hague. My own musical journey began at age four in Florida with Suzuki training, progressed through classical studies and fiddle jams in Nashville, and culminated in baroque-specific training at The Juilliard School and the Royal Conservatory in The Hague.

-Leading Kindermusik classes at Gracemusic The Hague
-Serving as adjunct faculty at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music

No matter where you are in your own musical path, I would love to work together! At every level, we will incorporate practice skills, technical ease and comfort, and creative expression and collaboration. I am happy to work from method books or to work from your own repertoire goals.
