Hello! I'm Davide, from Caserta (near Naples), and I've been studying music since I was 5. I obtained two jazz saxophone diplomas from the conservatories of Bologna and Salerno, with an Erasmus experience at CODARTS in Rotterdam.

About Me

Hallo! Ik ben Davide, afkomstig uit Caserta (in de buurt van Napels), en ik studeer al muziek sinds mijn 5e. Ik heb twee jazzsaxofoondiploma's behaald aan de conservatoria van Bologna en Salerno, met een Erasmus-ervaring aan CODARTS in Rotterdam.

Ik ben een concertartiest en heb een grote passie voor lesgeven. Met deze lessen zal ik je laten zien hoe je een instrument als de piano kunt benaderen, zo'n prachtig en veelzijdig instrument. Ik zal je de techniek van het geluid, toonladders, akkoorden en hun onderlinge relaties leren.

Ben je een zanger of instrumentalist die wil leren zichzelf op de piano te begeleiden? Dan ben je hier aan het juiste adres! Ik kan niet wachten om mijn liefde voor muziek met je te delen! Mijn lessen duren een uur en zijn geschikt voor alle leeftijden.

The saxophone as an extension of your body: express your feelings with its beautiful sound!

70.67 $ /h

Hello! Welcome to my Super Prof profile!

Let me express my passion for teaching my instrument and emphasize the utmost importance of developing a deep understanding of sound and rhythm. We will embark on an extensive journey that includes ear training through singing melodies, exploring scales, diving into harmony using the piano, and even a little music theory if you are interested.

Our focus will be primarily on honing our listening skills, as that is the key element. Note that our approach to learning is not to read music notation or rely on written material. We want to enjoy it, and if we ever choose to transcribe music, we can take the opposite route. We will learn to feel the rhythm and then put it into written form.

subjects

Development of the sound;
Ear training;
Scales (with your instrument and with the voice);
Chords (also played on piano);
Solo Transcriptions;
Rhythm;
History of music;
Music theory
Reading music

Thank you.

Davide

Use your musical power! Or do you want to be able to select the music you like yourself?

Should not be out of your level, we can play from pop to classical music,
every student is different and therefore also my method.

I, Kaori, have been active in the musical sector as a driven entrepreneur since 2016. At the age of three I started playing the piano, when I was 16 I composed my first piano song, and at the age of 18 I started to conduct small ensembles and create my own multidisciplinary to create projects with a mix of music, theater and other arts. By sharing my love for music, I ensure that the message gets across to the musicians, regardless of their level. My main focus is on playing together, being musically active and having fun in the process.

I believe that every person is different and has different needs and abilities, that's why I like to adapt to my students and take care of their interests. In case the student does not have a clear view, I help him/her to find what appeals to him/her.

If the student wishes, I can easily prepare him/her for the entrance exams for the conservatory.

Hallo allemaal!

I have been working for 12 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young, when I was 14 years old, because I always liked teaching): I have experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 2 years and adults of all levels, both teaching individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

I finished my bachelor studies with the highest marks, I have experience as a concert performer and have won prizes in competitions and several scholarships prizes.

I hope to have the pleasure that we both learn by making music together, do not hesitate to contact me!

Music is Play! and everyone is it's own game.
Read, understand and make only the music you like. I think if it isn't fun, it can't be music:)

I studied a classical piano bachelor, and later a jazz master and a live electronics master. In the meantime, I have been teaching music. It's longer than 9 years now!
Most of my students learn piano. With the starter ones, I use my own system to equally help them grow all the needed skills: body consciousness (to avoid lesions or bad habits), music theory (including writing and reading) and improvisation.
Usually most songs are made of melody, chords and rhythm. From there, I can help you understand how a song works, how is it written, how does it translate to the piano... and voilá! You'll know the song by heart, and will be able to play it a bit different every time, because you won't be following a set of pre-imposed instructions. You will understand how a small system (a song) works.
This way of learning can be applied to any song, from any century or style. Understanding is key! Play Chopin, write rock songs, play Monk, Bill Evans, the Beatles, make a lo-fi beat, play Beethoven, play the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars, play video game music, play salsa! bachata and make people dance, laugh or cry.
Music is very powerful!

PD: I have also experience imparting electronic music lessons in Ableton Live and Max MSP, which is now a very important part of my professional practice. In case you are interested, it is also possible to mix the two worlds and create a any kind of path between piano, synths, beats and home studio techniques.
Ask me anything, I'll tell you how I could help!

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Hello everyone!

My musical journey began when I was just four years old, starting with the piano. Later, at the age of seven, I eagerly embraced the violin, adding its enchanting melodies to my repertoire.

I achieved a professional mid-grade in both piano and violin. Fueled by my love for music, I moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands, to pursue a Bachelor's degree at Codarts University of Arts. Under the guidance of teachers like Natasha Morozova and Hed Yaron Meyerson, I refined my skills and nurtured my artistic vision.

After completing my Bachelor's studies, I continued my musical exploration in Codarts' Master's program. Alongside my classical training, I've always been intrigued by the therapeutic potential of music. In 2023, I earned certification in Music Therapy, expanding my horizons and deepening my connection to the healing power of music.

In collaboration with my colleagues, I am member of the Olga Trio. Our mission is to highlight the works of women composers throughout history. Our debut performance at the IV Concurso Nacional de Interpretación de Obras de Mujeres Compositoras was a proud moment, affirming our commitment to amplifying diverse voices in music.

Beyond classical music, I've always been drawn to exploring different genres and styles. As a member of the Jong Metropole Orchestra in 2023, I relished the opportunity to collaborate with musicians from diverse backgrounds, pushing the boundaries of traditional musical conventions.

In every note I play and every project I undertake, my passion for music shines through. It's a journey of exploration, growth, and discovery, and I'm excited to continue sharing my love for music with the world.

I've been teaching during the last 8 years. I am flexible with the students needs and I embrace fun and creativity in my lessons.

Lessons in 6 languages! With more than 200 students through all my life, more than 500 shows (mostly in Spain but also around Europe and a couple of minitours in America), 15 CDs/EP/singles published (as a frontman, sideman and producer), a bachelor in jazz-modern music guitar (Taller de Músics - Barcelona), half bachelor in piano jazz (Conservatori del Liceu - Barcelona) and a long professional music career behind me playing a ton of different styles (pop, rock, funk, metal, jazz, folk, rumba, reggae...), I've come from Barcelona to Rotterdam to continue my musical journey by doing the latin master at Codarts.

I've been working as a music teacher for around 12 years (I'm 29 years old), both doing private lessons and in different music schools, being the most important one the “Escola de Música Creu Alta” in Sabadell (Barcelona), which is one of the biggest music schools in Spain (with more than 900 students), in which I was the Head of the Modern Music Department.

I teach guitar (electric and classical), piano (electric and classical), composition, musical production (with Logic Pro), ensemble and modern music theory AT ALL LEVELS, from 100% beginners to people who want to prepare themselves for the music bachelor. I can adapt totally to what the student wants and is looking for, but also, since I have a lot of experience, I have the lessons well planned, I know which songs and exercises work better depending on the aspect that we want to work (tempo, chords, scales, sound, improvisation...) and when I see someone playing I can see in which aspects is the person strong, and in which aspects has the person more problems, so that way you won't waste your time! Also I'm a fun and very empathetic person so we will have fun, which is the most important thing!!

I speak 6 languages: Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and English, so we can do the classes in one of these languages.

The lessons can take place in my home (Maashaven metro station) where I have a nice setup, online or in your home.

I’m Helene, a vocal coach with over 10 years of experience teaching teens (12+) and adults of all levels. I graduated in Jazz Vocals (with piano as a minor) from the Prince Claus Conservatoire in Groningen 2016.

My lessons focus on healthy vocal technique (based on CVT), self-expression, and building confidence — especially for those who feel blocked or insecure. I know how that feels, and I’m passionate about helping others grow through their voice.

In addition to singing, I guide students in songwriting, music theory, and learning to accompany themselves on piano. We set personal goals and work toward them step by step — with attention, care, and joy.

Melodia School is the ideal way to develop a sensitive inner ear, discover your singing voice, and acquire the musicianship skills necessary to start to read music and learn an instrument. Children increase their self confidence, improve their psychical co-ordination, experience different moods and characters and adults experience the joy of learning an instrument.

Lessons are offered in groups or individually. Piano lesson for all levels and ages starting from 3 years. Hague-Rotterdam- Wassenaar
