Saxophone lessons by HKU senior, with completed internship at DUMS, focus on saxophonists who want to give entrance exam at a conservatory

Hello (future) musician! Do you also have a song in your head that you would like to play? Always wanted to play electric or acoustic guitar or bass guitar? Have you never touched a string, or are you advanced and looking for new challenges? I have been giving guitar lessons since 2007 with great pleasure. In addition to these private lessons, I worked at the Guitar Academy in Amsterdam, at Muziekles Den Bosch and at Art in Music in Utrecht, next to my work as an executive musician. I studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg and Musicology at Utrecht University. Broad interests, reflected in the hoevelheid styles I play and education (from pop and rock to salsa, tango and gypsy to metal and jazz). I also give solfège and music theory. It does not matter how exotic your interest, I can help you get better! In addition, I can choose and arrange songs for you, so that there is no limit to your imagination: learn to play what you want to learn to play. These lessons are not given in a large, impersonal music school: lesson duration and lesson dates are discussed and are flexible. Personal and smooth, easier for everyone. Besides guitar enthusiast teaching is a big passion of mine, and I think that is essential to be able to offer good lessons. Whether I teach you how to play your first songs in a few lessons, or whether we are going to pick up some tough pieces, it is a pleasant and productive learning process. Lessons in Wittevrouwen, Utrecht or at extra cost at home. If you have questions, mail or call!

If you want to prepare for the conservatory or university music study, contact me and I will help you prepare for the entrance exam. Do you want to experience more as a concert goer in music? Knowledge of musical forms and history can add a lot. With a few lessons there is much more to experience! My name is Philip. I work as a musicologist and music teacher. Studies include conservatory (piano and organ) and Music Sciences at Utrecht University and Amsterdam.

This lesson is for people who have little or no experience with playing the piano. My focus is to introduce student to the music by starting with basic classical piano training, and adding ear training and music theory to an intermediate level. I can arrange lessons for entering exams to music schools and conservatories. Classes varies from student's needs. Discovering and enjoying music in your on way is the key in here. I am a conservatory graduated professional classical and contemporary percussionist who works and travels with orchestras and ensembles for the last 13 years around the world, and who also works in different musical areas such as, singing and songwriting, crossover compositions, and music production. In my classes, I like to combine my background with the topic we are working on, and evolve in student's own personal musical experience. We can stay with the classical side, get into some percussion, or in one point we can start composing for your own ideas and work on them on Ableton. My aim is giving the student a wide experience and a chance to discover what they really interest in music.

If you are interested in improving your reeds, welcome to my lesson, where you can know more about the reeds and learn how to adjust and maintain them with some simple steps! I also offer clarinet private lessons, I could help you not only improve the skills but also solve the problems of the instrument itself.

I'm 24 years old and I joined the world of Music when I was 6. I got the degree in Cassical Saxophone 2 years ago in the Conservatory of Music of Mantova (Italy) and now I'm studying Jazz&Pop in the Conservatory of Utrecht (Netherlands). I've played many concert in Italy and Europe with many different formations: classic Orchestra and Ensemble (Ensemble of saxophone of Mantova), quartet of saxophones (Sax Fever), many different bands, Big Band (Dixiebell Orchestra of Garda, Utrecht BigBand)... •THE GOAL of my lessons is make people enjoy this beautiful form of art. Like when you sing playing saxophone required a total connection between our body and our mind with the horn. As our clarinet friends always remind us, Saxophone is not one of the most difficult wind intrument but an improper embrasure or a wrong breathing can create a wall between our musical ideas and the instrument. •In my lessons I want to work as first on the sound. If the sound is good Saxophone has the power to enchant audience with just one note. Playing long note is a good exercise in this sense, and more natural and relaxed is the embrasure and the body, more easily will be making a good sound. •We'll improve the knowledge of Music Armony working directly on the songs that you love. We will start by transcribe them by ear and then we'll go deeper into the armony and chords. The aim is start to improvise on them and create your own repertoire. •On the other side we will work on reading music. This skill has a primary importance if you want to join all kind of band in the city. •If you are a student that want to enter in the conservatory, classic or jazz, I have a lot of experience in these kind of auditions, so we can focus our practise toward this porpuse. •Music make the mind free and EVERYBODY can play, it's just a matter of practise and listening. If you think that Saxophone is your instrument What are you waiting for!?!? Let's play some Music togheter;)

My name is Mar and I am a 23-year-old pianist (with pedagogical training) who is doing her postgraduate studies at the Utrecht Conservatory. I have been working for 9 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young because I always liked teaching): Experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 3 years and adults of all levels, both individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, solfeggio and choir. I finished my bachelor studies with the highest marks, I have experience as a concert performer and have won prizes in competitions. I hope to have the pleasure that we both learn by making music together, do not hesitate to contact me! Flexible timetable and teaching adapted to the student's preferences

Music lessons can be productive and fun if planned and organized according to the needs and desires of every different student. Upon the first meeting with each student it is important to discuss the long term goals in order to have a clear view and plan the following lessons accordingly. Based on the student's background, lessons can be adjusted to different levels, music genres and repertoire. The ideal lesson would always include practical, as well as, theoretical knowledge in order to boost your skills but also be able to express yourself through it.

I am a 25 year old Greek pianist and I have been living in the Netherlands for the last couple of years. I started teaching children and adults individually as well as in groups 8 years ago. According to your preferences we can create a lesson structure which combines technique and theory (chords, scales, harmony) but also repertoire that you enjoy and love. It is really important to be able to maintain your skills but enjoy the music the most as well . I can happily tailor the lessons to suit your skill level and personal taste ! Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions .

I specialize on teaching Saxophone and Improvisation.This class is for people who want to learn more about jazz and improvisation in general. I focus on hearing and play music by imitation.My goal is to make the lesson as organic as possible and fun for the student.Of course in my class we will do also etudes and all the basic knowledge to built technique and develop on the instrument as well as theory, harmony and rhythm.

My goal as a music teacher is to make the students able to experience all types of emotions by playing music, understanding the musical process from its roots with a creative approach. My lessons are designed according to the specific needs of each student and the main objective is to guide them in the optimal direction to achieve their full potential in a fun way. Thereby, the instrument becomes a tool to understand what making music really means and will be a way for the student to express his emotions. My approach to the lessons can provide a lot of creativity, fun and originality. How will my lessons look like From the first lesson, the student will start making music. We will begin learning the basic concepts of music, developing listening and rhythmic skills with fun exercises. Lessons will also be focused on learning the basics of music theory, creating a solid technical base and paying special attention to having a relaxed and healthy body posture. My academic and professional experience has helped me create a teaching method where improvisation is an essential tool for the student. I enjoy working on it from the beginning since it is a perfect way to develop musicality. Playing different music genres together As a musician, another of my sources of inspiration is to get to know and to learn from different styles, playing and experimenting with music from the classical period until the most avant-garde style. During the lessons, we will play pop, jazz, classical and many other styles. I would like to explore the instrument with the student in a fun way, growing, improving, and discovering new ways of making music together. During the lessons the students and I could play together, either playing some duos with the cello or accompanying them with the piano, which is an activity that I really enjoy. Playing together with more people and with a polyphonic instrument from the beginning will give the student clues to learn how to play in ensembles and listen to all the different voices that can be part of any musical composition.

The three goals I have as a teacher is first to have fun with it and have a light pleasant lesson that is something we both look forward to. Second,is to convey in the best way what being a musician amateur or professional and performing music is about and finally to help students with understanding the saxophone, the endless possibilities of the instrument with its different sound colors, dynamics and wide range of techniques but also how simple and enjoyable it can be but demanding when attempting to master every detail. For me, it's the best instrument in the world. The lesson consists of different parts to cover in every lesson a number of different aspects of playing to keep improving every week. See you in class!

I am a 23 years old pianist and I have been teaching for more than five years to kids and adults. All ages and levels are welcome. You choose the music style you want to learn. My schedule is very flexible so I can adjust to your own petition. I will teach you according to your needs and aims in an educational and friendly way. Please contact me for more information.

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject. Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

The lessons are adapted to all the levels, from beginners to professionals, and to all styles considering your interests in the music field. We will treat all the specific aspects regarding the knowledge of the saxophone (technique, breath, articulations...), the music theory ( scales, chords, rhythm exercises, harmony, arranging for other instruments...) and the jazz improvisation ( chords progressions, transcriptions, jazz standards...). However my aim as a teacher is to discover with you the beauty of this art, enjoying, playing and listening to music together. Hope to see you and have fun together! Giovanni
