Mandolin lessons in Nijmegen. Do you already play an instrument and would you like to try something new? New musicians are also welcome!

I have been playing mandolin in various folk bands for many years and am happy to share my joy for this instrument with anyone who wants to learn it. This instrument is easier to understand than a guitar, and smaller to carry. It has a beautiful sound and you can play this instrument in many different styles. From classical to folk, from jazz to bluegrass. So much is possible!

You indicate what music you like and I will help you on your way as a musician. With patience and attention, and passion for the music. If you like, I can help you with music theory and you can learn to read sheet music. I can also give you music lessons entirely by ear, because you can enjoy playing the mandolin even without theory and sheet music.

The mandolin can also be an interesting instrument if you someday want to learn to play the violin. The reason for this is because the tuning of these instruments are the same. The advantage of the mandolin is that you have frets (similar to a guitar), which means you have to put less effort into playing in tune compared to the violin. If you later switch from the mandolin to the violin, you will understand the strings, and therefore where to find notes on your instrument, much better. Once you improve your violin technique, you can easily transfer all the songs you can play on the mandolin to the violin.

Extra information

You need a mandolin. I can help you with buying an instrument. I may also have a instrument available that you can use temporarily.

About Me

My name is Kris. I'm passionate about music and play acoustic folk music in different bands. Music is my life and as a musician I can be creative and share the joy in playing music. I love to play in the balfolk scene in which people dance to live folk music inspired by Western-European folk music traditions. The interaction between me as a musician and the dancers on the dance floor is amazing. Together we can create a social settings in which people can enjoy the music and share happiness.

Education

Scandinavian Folk music education - Folkhögskola Sweden. During this study I focused on instrumental techniques, music theory, arranging music and playing together as a group.

Experience / Qualifications

- I have played both at national and international venues and festivals (e.g. Belgium, Germany, Sweden)
- I have recorded 3 studio albums and 1 EP with two different bands
Have you always wanted to make music without struggling with notes and sheet music? Are you looking for creativity and do you want to dream away on the music you play yourself? Then learn to improvise intuitively on the piano with me. You can start with this if you have no experience at all, but also if you already have musical experience on the piano or on another instrument. During these lessons you will learn step by step how to play improvisations with two hands and from there you can further develop your musical story.
Get to know the piano as a versatile instrument where you can play chords as well as melodies. If you want you can learn sheet music and music theory with me, but it is also very possible to learn piano without sheet music. Music is ultimately about sound so you can learn a lot by playing and replaying. The most important thing when learning music is to enjoy playing at the level you are at that moment. The word 'playing' is important. Playing indicates that you enjoy the music. My style as a teacher is therefore to always motivate, no matter what level you are at that moment. That way, making music remains fun and you can continue to enjoy the music you make. The art of learning an instrument is mainly in persevering with playing and choosing a next goal that is both challenging and achievable in the short term.
