About Me
Jawa (1996) a Syrian oud player. I was born in Aleppo, and I grew up in Damascus, Syria. I started playing music at the age of eleven. I chose the Oud as my instrument because my father used to play it everyday at home when I was young. Gradually, I fell in love with it and now I feel an unlimited feeling of freedom while playing it. When I was six, I started ballet dance lessons.At the age of eleven I had to join music classes in order to reach a higher level of ballet dancing. I studied music at Sulhi Al Wadi music institute In Damascus and after one year of studying music, the Oud became my passion.
I decided to study music and six years later, I graduated at the same music school as where I have started.
In 2012 I went to Egypt with my family, and there I continued my music study at “Beit El Oud” the Arabic Oud House institute under the supervision of the Iraqi Oud player Naseer Shamma.
In 2014 I went to Istanbul to receive private lessons by the Turkish oud player Nacati Celik.
Since June 2015, I have been based in the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, I got to know great Dutch and international musicians whom I had the chance to perform with and who allowed me to learn more and enrich my knowledge about music.

Daan
Piano lessons in Amsterdam at home by an experienced piano teacher - also possible for lessons in music productionHey! My name is Daan and I am a keyboard player, producer and songwriter and I am happy to teach piano at your home in Amsterdam.
I graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam pop department and am also very active in bands (as a keyboardist, singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer) and as a producer/songwriter in various genres.
As a teacher, I am mainly concerned with what the student wants to achieve and what can be gotten out of the student. Do you want to learn that one new song by Billie Eilish, or an advanced piece by Stevie Wonder; I can always help you. The great thing about music is that you can learn and perform it at all kinds of levels. My job is to find the right level for the right student, so that progress can be made at the same time as there is fun during the lessons.
In addition, I find it important that my students not only play the piano, but also understand the music and build up a knowledge of the music theory behind the pieces. This has helped me a lot to quickly make big steps as a musician.
You can also contact me if you write songs yourself and maybe even produce them that you want to take to a higher level. I can give you all kinds of tips to get the best out of your own compositions through my experience as a songwriter/producer.
I hope to see you soon!

Cello, singing and theory lessons from bilingual Welsh and English speakerHi my name is Osian and I’m a cellist from South Wales. I’ve taught children of many ages and standards and I really feel privileged to be a part of someone’s musical and personal development. Music lessons can be a way of reaching the concert platform or it could be a way of expressing yourself and being creative, wether it’s a career path or not.
I grew up playing and singing where my first priority was to fall in love with music and learn to perform it to the best standard that I could do and that’s what I’d like to encourage my students to aim for too.
I’m a BMus Hons Scholar from
The Royal Academy of Music and I’m not studying at a masters lever at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

Teis
Learn guitar: What, how and why - by an experienced teacher and active professional musicianMy name is Teis. I am a Danish guitarist trained in Jazz music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and USC Thornton School of Music (Los Angeles). I have played since age 7, studied since age 13, and played professionally since age 18.
I work professionally as a band leader, composer, and side person.
After around 25 years of experience on the guitar, I can confidently say that I am equipped to share the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years.
In all honesty: I have never found myself to be particularly "talented". But I am a hard worker. I truly believe that talent is not something you are born with, but something you can develop and grow.
Together we will explore secrets and tips for a healthy guitar routine. We will improve your technique and ear training abilities with direct and fun exercises.
Whether you are just a beginner or an intermediate/advanced guitarist, we can explore the instrument and all its possibilities.
Practicing and playing with a teacher in a one-on-one situation is the most effective way to get better faster, and I advise it to all the guitar and music lovers out there.
In my guitar course, we start from where you are at and set a goal fitting to what you want to achieve. For example, our focus could be a.o.:
Fingerpicking
Soloing
Accompanying yourself
Songwriting
Two ways to go about it;
Single lesson: We go from where you are at the moment, and I help you move forward.
5 or 10 lesson bundle: I will make a detailed plan for you and we will conclude the lessons with a performance of some sort. I will help you elevate and broaden your skill set, in your preferred style, but also ear training and theory. We will build a sustainable practice routine together, and you will get access to a library of practice play-alongs and manuals, that you can use to build a solid platform as a musician!
Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Songwriting and Composition!So many great songs in the world... only yours is missing! Songwriting is a beautiful craft, you can create music that is completely unique to you, your stories and imagination. A great quote from Jacob Collier:"when you are writing music, imagine music that you would like to exist, that you would like to listen to."
I will help you to realise and figure out what it is you're hearing in your head, provide you with tools and tricks to use and help you arrive to a mindset which welcomes creative processes and make artistic decisions more easily. Both singer-songwriters and instrumental composers are welcome! I'm a songwriter and composer for a few years now, I've encountered many different phases and struggles and have learned to overcome them with techniques and with intuition.
