Guitar lessons for beginners to advanced students of all ages

Àpd 485.38 CNY /h

I love teaching guitar, and I am good at it. Learning music is similar to learning a language. We learn by imitating the sounds that we hear. During this stage, I also incorporate proper technique; how the instrument should be held and how the strings should be strummed or plucked. Once the sound is adequately imitated, we look at influences and start developing vocabulary. Finally, I want to ensure the student can replicate these precise sounds. I do this by teaching the theory and reasoning behind the vocabulary.

Music and guitar is my passion. I love to share my passion with anyone wanting to learn. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.

Présentation

I am a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Before moving to the Netherlands in 2022, I taught 50 different students a week on a variety of instruments; guitar, piano, drums, ukulele, bass, and voice. In 2017, I received my bachelors in music from a conservatory called Webster University in the United States. During my studies I focused on jazz guitar and songwriting/composition. Before pursuing my bachelors, I studied vocal performance in Los Angeles at Musicians Institute. I started playing guitar 20 years ago and did not have any lessons until college in 2015. The method that I use to teach is the method that I intuitively used to teach myself throughout the years. Listening and imitating is SO important when learning an instrument. This is how I taught myself, and it is how I will teach you. Music is my north star. It's occupy so much of my being and has for the majority of my life. I love sharing my knowledge with students that are truly interested in music and guitar. I hope my enthusiasm is contagious and inspires you. The journey with the instrument is a lifelong endeavor. One that I am happy to accompany you along the way.

Cheers :)

Dear music and piano lover, welcome to my profile page!

My name is Waldemar and I am a classical piano teacher.
I teach young (from 8 years old) and old, individually or in groups.

I received my training from Fania Chapiro in Hilversum and later at the Amsterdam Conservatory with Danielle Dechenne.

Depending on your level, we will in principle cover all aspects of technique and interpretation. You can always make special requests known to me.
In addition, I think it is important to structure the lessons and focus on themes so that you really learn something.

In addition to being a piano teacher, I am also available as a composition, music theory or solfege teacher.

Would you like to take lessons with an experienced pianist? Contact me.

musical regards,
Waldemar

PS And my favorite composer? That's currently Franz Schubert ;-)

I am Alain, married and have two daughters and have lived in the Netherlands since 2017. Before this I lived in China for 15 years where I worked as a professional musician. I am originally from Mauritius where I also worked as a musician. I have years of experience teaching acoustic guitar and bass guitar to both children and adults.
Are you already advanced and do you want to improve yourself or have you never played and are you looking for someone who will teach you the basics first and then help you get better? Then you've come to the right place.
I can read music but prefer to play without sheet music to really feel the music and to express my own creativity in the music.

Music theory doesn’t have to feel dry or overwhelming, in fact, it can be one of the most exciting parts of learning music when it’s taught in a way that makes sense to you! My theory lessons are flexible, down-to-earth, and designed to support your unique musical journey, no matter your level.

Whether you’re just starting out and want to learn the basics, or you’ve been studying music for years and want to dive into more advanced topics, I’ll tailor each lesson to your goals and interests. We can cover anything from reading music and understanding keys and chords, to harmony, form, analysis, and even how theory connects to the music you’re playing, writing, or listening to.

My goal is to make theory feel useful, musical, and even fun, because it really is when approached in the right way.
These lessons are great for all ages and backgrounds, whether you're preparing for exams, supporting your instrument studies, writing your own music, or just curious to learn more about how music works.
