I teach piano, composition and music theory. I welcome students of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Never feel that it is too late to start learning music, even if you've never learnt it before :) My particular specialism is the classical repertoire, piano technique (scales, arpeggios, technical exercises) and pop songs. I pride myself on my empathetic and patient approach, while encouraging new directions and challenges. I don't teach jazz piano, or children aged 5 or younger. Don't hesitate to get in touch.

I am a well-prepared teacher and someone fun to study with. I have about 8 years of experience teaching all levels. I graduated from the Chicago College of Performing Arts, Roosevelt University and I currently study a master's degree in classical piano at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

I live in Ijburg and I have a wonderful Bösendorfer Grand Piano!

During my lessons, you will learn to perform the music that you dream and aim to achieve.

Whether you want to become a musician or not, my main goal is that you will learn healthy practice habits and foster values such as patience and discipline. These lessons will help you to tap into your mind to unwind from any obstacle; any achievements that you can make during my piano lessons will help you to achieve things in other fields.

Learning to play the guitar can be an amazing experience at every stage of the process! My ultimate goal is to help my students to develop their skills and musical understanding by learning and playing music that they like.

Therefore I adapt my teaching methodologies to the tastes and needs of every student. Throughout every lesson, we will work on three main courses of development: technical aspects, theoretical knowledge, and performative practice.

My classes are open for anyone who would like to enjoy exploring the universe of music: beginners and advanced, children and adults, you are all welcome to book the first lesson.

Hello,

My name is Jaime and I am a Spanish clarinet player, composer, and teacher.
With over years of experience playing the clarinet and having immersed myself in teaching for the last few years,
I am currently completing my professional studies in clarinet and composition at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam
with professors Arno Piters (Royal Concertgebouw Orkest) and Hans Colbert (Residentie Orkest Den Haag).

I see teaching not only as a way to pass on my (still growing) knowledge but also as a way to learn along with my students in a cheerful and inspiring way.
During our classes, we will learn the basics of clarinet playing, as well as how to use these basics to build your own way of playing and learn simple songs, intermediate pieces, or world-class concertos!

If clarinet is not your thing but you want to learn music theory I can also help you with personalized classes to suit your needs.
Maybe you want to learn basic notation reading or solfege, or perhaps you want to audition for a renowned institution as the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
Whatever your need is I will find a way to articulate a plan we can follow so you can achieve success on your musical adventures.

Aside from lessons on the students' place of residence, online lessons via skype or zoom can also be scheduled at a reduced price.

I hope this helps you understand how I work and the way I could help you, but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me!

Kind regards,
Jaime

Clarinet is an amazing and flexible instrument with a lot of music styles you can learn. I will help you to find your own way to develop your musicality.

The drumset is one of the most important and powerful instruments in a music ensemble. It does not only provide the rhythm and groove foundation for all the other instruments - it also defines the sound of the band, the character of the songs, the volume... just like an orchestra conductor.

In these lessons (which are of course personalized and open depending on the interests of the student) we will work beyond the physical/mechanical aspect of the drums (technique, coordination, etc) into the musical aspect, so we will spend some time listening and analyzing music together, working on ear training and music theory from a practical point of view.

Dynamic and entretaining lessons based on methodology and pedagogy techniques acquired in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Beginners, amateurs and professional players are more than welcome!

On my lessons you will find a safe space to learn the basis of the technique of the instrument as well as how to enjoy to play the oboe! Reed workshops, playing solo pieces as well as duos with oboe and piano accompaniment.

My aim is to work on little stages on each lesson, focused on improving different aspects of your playing. From technical exercises to even your own compositions! The ideal lessons to develop your imagination and creativity as well as making easier to play this complex but amazing instrument!

Hello! I’m Leticia, a professional soprano from Cuba, now living in Amsterdam. I’ve spent years teaching at the National Conservatory of Music in Cuba, performing as a soloist, with choirs, and in ensembles of various formats, sharing stages nationally and internationally. My experience spans classical, jazz, salsa, and traditional Cuban music

I’ve just arrived in Amsterdam and I’ve recently started learning Dutch and I am getting more confident in English. Even though I’m working on many personal goals, what truly drives me is the desire to work especially in the field I love and have dedicated so many years of my life to, helping students of all ages discover their musical voice, whether it’s singing, playing piano, or understanding music theory.

I strive to make every lesson fun, pleasant and most importantly comfortable for each student’s pace and process. Every class becomes a shared journey of learning and exploration, where enjoyment and inspiration come first. My goal is to help you grow with confidence and discover the full potential of your musical voice.

I offer in-person lessons here in Amsterdam for all ages.

Let’s start your musical journey today and bring the musician in you to life!
