A professional musician who studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory and the prestigious Manhattan School of Music in New York, I have been a guitar teacher in particular for many years. I teach students of all ages, from beginners to professionals, with a very clear objective or a specific theme they wish to explore in depth. I specialize in the musical styles of jazz, rock, blues, bossa nova, and classical guitar. The student decides what they want to learn according to their interests: learning songs with chords, riffs, certain specific techniques, transcribing solos, music theory, rhythmic solfège, improvisation, velocity, etc. For those who wish to understand the fundamental mechanisms of musical works, I also teach music theory; together we can analyze the pieces learned and apply the theoretical rules to the students' own compositions.
