Private Piano and Music Theory lessons in Utrecht and surroundings

From 39 $ /h

I'm Paula, 27 years old, from Barcelona and I have been a piano and music theory teacher for 6 years now. I learned in the Municipal Conservatory of Music in Barcelona (CMMB) and my goal is to help students master and enjoy music and piano playing as much as I do, because that's what music is about. Also, I can help the student prepare for specific challenges such as conservatory or any music school examinations.

I've been living in Utrecht for almost 3 years now and I would be pleased to help you, so if you are interested contact me!

Spanish private lessons in Utrecht and surroundings

25.59 $ /h

I am Paula, 27 years old, from Barcelona, and I would be pleased to be your Spanish teacher here in the Netherlands :) I have been living in Utrecht for almost 3 years and I have been teaching here the whole time. I am very flexible with the schedule and the structure of the lessons since I try to adapt to each person's needs. I have a few useful books that I follow for the lessons, normally one that provides the main structure and the others for extra exercises and games.
- If you are a beginner we will use different materials to learn vocabulary, first useful expressions and basic grammar while, every now and then, having fun with some games.

I always give homework and (if adult) I expect the learner to be independent in this sense.

Send me a message if you are interested :)
Hasta pronto!
Paula

My name is Panagiotis and I am a guitar teacher/player. I have two bachelor degrees: Classical Guitar (Philippos Nakas Conservatory), Jazz&Pop Guitar (HKU Utrecht Conservatory). I have been teaching in music schools and giving individual lessons for the last 14 years. In 2017 I moved to Utrecht to continue my studies in jazz guitar at the Utrecht Conservatory and explore the Dutch music scene.I teach electric, acoustic, classical guitar and music theory. Besides the basic technique and theory knowledge, which Ι make sure to provide to each of my students , I individually prepare their study line, according to their taste and abilities. My goal is to help my students to find their own musicality and reveal their inner voice by giving them the most appropriate tools. Besides teaching I have two bands which I give lots of concerts with , at several venues and festivals.

I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

Everyone learns differently, and that’s what makes teaching piano so rewarding for me. I aim to create a space where you can grow at your own pace and truly enjoy the process. My approach to lessons is relaxed, supportive, and always tailored to each student’s needs and goals. Whether you're a complete beginner or have been playing for a while, the lessons are designed to help you build skills confidently, with a focus on keeping things enjoyable and motivating throughout.

Lessons typically include a mix of technical exercises, work on pieces (classical, pop, or anything you're interested in). I may also include elements like sight-reading, rhythm, or ear training, depending on what you need. I like to keep things flexible and adapt to what works best for you.

I work best with beginners and intermediate players of all ages. Whether you're learning for fun, picking it up again after a break, or preparing for early-level exams, we can shape the lessons around your goals!

Playing the trumpet is very exciting!
Are you looking to start learning the trumpet? Perhaps you already play for some years but want to improve your technique, breathing skills, or learn a new genre? I am Alberto, and I will help you achieve your musical goals with a tailor-made program. My approach is to find suitable music for your technical and expressive level and work specifically on the challenges that it represents.

Music is for everyone! Kids and adults
Perhaps you want to surprise your couple playing a bossa-nova. Or maybe you want to become the next solo trumpet at the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Everyone has different goals when playing the trumpet, it is my job to help you achieve them. If you don't have clear objectives yet, I will be guiding you and exploring the possibilities of trumpet playing with you. Also, especially for kids, I can help you find a nice pTrumpet. They are lightweight plastic trumpets made with great quality and available in different colours!

Good technique, and a lot of fun
The most important lesson I have learned in my career is that making good music is only possible when you enjoy the process. Of course, good technical skills are crucial but studying exercises that you find boring is not the best way up to proficiency. Instead, finding your unique best approach to improve your skills will get you to the moon! For improving your tempo awareness, would you practice with a metronome or would you rather use a drumbeat sample?

Your health is important! Body awareness and breathing techniques
Not only wind players benefit from doing sport, acquiring good posture habits, and being aware of their breath. It helps everyone in every single aspect of their lives. A good breathing technique will let you play easily, run for a longer period of time, or sleep better at night. On the other hand, body posture awareness helps with productivity and saves money on the fysio. Life hacks that you cannot miss!

Improvisation and open-mindedness
That very feeling of creating art on the spot. Only a few experiences can relate to it. When we explore and create, our flow state gets triggered. We are fully immersed in the activity and the world surrounding us vanishes. If you like, we will go on a journey discovering new emotions, colours, sounds, harmonies, textures, styles, genres. And improvising on them. Let's get creative!

Technology in music. Recording and producing
Let's face it, we are in the 21st century and the possibilities of technology are endless in the audiovisual field. Recording for auditions, producing and releasing your first single, live looping, use of effects... You can learn all that with me. Are you curious? Book your lesson now!

Ok but, how will my lessons look like?
Breathing practice is one of the best ways to start warming up. It will take the first 5 minutes of your lesson and your body will be prepared to start playing.
Then, we would go into working on your specific goals. Perhaps, we are practicing music that demands improvement on the higher register, maybe we are working out different scales for improvisation, or it might be the case that you want to discover a new genre and go deep into it. Reading music, ear training, phrasing, music theory, buzzing and embouchure position, articulations (legato, staccato, accents), dynamics... These are only an indication of what we might work on.
The final minutes of your lesson will be the moment to relax. We can get creative, play some tunes together, improvise, or even talk about a specific topic like musicality, art, creativity, technique, theory or the music industry for instance.

Group lessons and ensembles
Making music alone is fun, but playing with people brings it to the next level! If you like the idea, I will bring you together with other fellow students for technique workshops, jam sessions, duo with piano, or whatever other activity we might find interesting for you.

When and where
I offer flexibility in my schedule so your trumpet lessons fit into your agenda. I can come to your place, or perhaps you prefer visiting my teaching room in Utrecht. I will have some coffee or tea waiting for you.

Online trumpet classes
Online has become a new trend. I will help you set up your equipment and focus on what is important, music. Book a lesson now!

Alberto, the eclectic brass player based in Utrecht
I am a brass performer and teacher that has performed in classical and modern music ensembles for more than 15 years. During this time, I attended innumerable masterclasses and had great fun in various professional experiences such as performing at Tomorrowland, an avant-garde music festival in Malta, or the great symphonic masterpieces with symphonic orchestras in Spain and the Netherlands.
I hold a bachelor's and a master's degree in music performance and a master's degree in music education during my official studies in Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Nowadays, you can still find me teaching brass in the Utrecht area, composing and producing my own music at home, playing tuba with a symphonic orchestra, trombone in a reggae band, or improvising trumpet over a techno track.

Hallo allemaal!

I have been working for 12 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young, when I was 14 years old, because I always liked teaching): I have experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 2 years and adults of all levels, both teaching individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, 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 and several scholarships prizes.

I hope to have the pleasure that we both learn by making music together, do not hesitate to contact me!

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.

Do you love Baroque music?
There’s no better way to truly experience it than by learning the instrument that defined the era: the harpsichord.

I offer harpsichord lessons for all levels:

🎶 Are you a beginner excited to explore music through this beautiful instrument?
🎹 A pianist curious about the harpsichord’s unique sound, expression, and repertoire?
🎼 Or an experienced player looking to deepen your continuo skills and historical interpretation?

Wherever you are in your journey, you're welcome.

I’m a professional harpsichordist with an active artistic career, performing regularly at festivals and concerts. I also bring over 10 years of experience teaching individual lessons to students of all levels and backgrounds.

The harpsichord repertoire is incredibly rich, with music that’s rewarding and inspiring—even for beginners.

In our lessons, you’ll learn:

Solid technique and articulation

Expressive phrasing

Ornamentation, improvisation, and melodic decoration

The art of basso continuo—realizing harmonies from a bass line, a core skill for any harpsichordist

Baroque music is full of life, spontaneity, and nuance. Let’s explore it together!

Feel free to get in touch with any questions or to book your first lesson. I look forward to making music with you!

Hi, I’m Heewon from South Korea and I currently study music in HKU Conservatory.

For about 14 years I have studied various aspects of music, I’ve studied piano, vocals and composition, and now I am studying piano in the jazz and pop course. Not only have I played lots of jazz and pop, I have played lots of classical, neo-soul and gospel, to me it’s important to be well versed in lots of genre’s. How amazing is it to play the music that lives in your head?
Piano is by no means difficult, it make’s for a great hobby and is a wonderful stress reliever.
My class is open for people of all skill levels and is held in English or Korean.

Essential parts of my lessons are:

-Tailor-made lessons to suit your skill level and needs.
*For beginners we’ll go through basic piano skills, basic music theory and reading sheet music.
*If you're an intermediate, you'll be given a class that suits your level, needs and wishes.
(ex. How to improvise, how to accompaniment, how to arrange, etc.)
-I will provide my own materials and documents.

Hello there! My name is Vasilis and I am a jazz/rock/eastern traditional and classical guitar player, singer and songwriter currently studying as a 3rd year student in the Jazz and Pop guitar department of HKU conservatory. I am coming from Greece where I graduated from my first bachelor on classical guitar and the last three years I live, study, work and play in Utrecht.

My teaching career started very early, 12 years ago when my classical guitar teacher let me teach my first student and since then I have worked in multiple music schools and in private lessons with students of every age. This year I also started giving my first band coaching group lessons.

In my lessons I try to create a learning path that is formed arround the interests and taste of each student. Since I am a singer and songwriter the lessons can also focus on the creating part of music if of course the student is interested in that. I work with empathy and sensitivity arround the needs of each student.

As for my playing career, I play with multiple bands on original songs of mine or covers in different venues and festivals in Europe. The genres differ between pop, jazz, rock, eastern traditional and blues so I can give a big variety of stylistic directions to each student.

Last but not least, I am also a singer and because of my good performance in school, I was awarded from the HKU Conservatory the oportunity to follow the vocal curriculum of the school as well. So I can help you with singing too!

Are you a beginner and would you like to learn to play the piano in a way that is both structured and inspiring? Then my lessons might be exactly what you are looking for. I teach piano the way I have always liked it best: with a clear basis, but especially with room for music that makes you happy.

My lessons are built around the teaching method Alfred's Basic Piano Library - an accessible and logical learning path for beginning pianists. At the same time, you will quickly choose a piece that you like. Something that may be a bit more difficult than your level, but that we will work towards together step by step. That makes practicing not only more fun, but also motivating: you hear something back that you recognize and that you live towards, instead of just theory and technical exercises.

Especially in the beginning, when playing the piano often takes more effort than it sounds good at first, it helps enormously to play music that you really have something with. And that is exactly the balance I seek in my lessons: a good structure with room for personal taste and playing pleasure.

As a piano teacher, I'll ensure you have a solid technical foundation, but also that you can enjoy making music from the very beginning. I'd love to hear from you about your preferred direction—classical, pop, or jazz—and then we'll chart a course together.
