Harpsichord lesson, basso continuo lessons. Composition and music theory
course price icon
Van 52 € /h
arrow icon
During my lessons I would like to transmit to the student the necessary knowledge, passion, and dedication that music requires. During the harpsichord lessons I will introduce or deepen the skills of the pupils by teaching them the main playing techniques, the history of instrument, the beautiful and large repertoire that can be played on the instrument, and especially a structured and fun method which goal is to let the student become more and more independent. During my Theory/composition lessons I will focus on techniques, genres through a method that looks at historical sources. In my lessons I like to create a relaxed, serious, and productive environment that allows the student to focus, learn, and to reach their goals.

Bass guitar lessons with a holistic, "all-round" character.

We will practice the lessons together and we will use your best songs for this. I believe that if you have deep emotional contact with a piece of music, the learning process will also become faster, cozier and smoother!

Our main themes:

- technique and overview of the bass (where?)
- general music theory, ear training (why?)
- creative improvisation and composition (what?)
- rhythm, tempo, phrasing and feeling (how?)

For adults and teenagers, lessons last 1 hour. For all levels from absolute beginner to conservatory level.

I help beginning, intermediate and advanced songwriters establish and/or refine their songwriting routine.
Using my own book on the subject (no extra charge) and a variety of interesting assignments, I work with you to make you the best songwriter you can be!
Some basic music theory and instrumental skills are needed, but I can also help you get this under your belt.

Would you like to have a better understanding of the music you listen to or study? Do you want to know more about the artistic background of a certain composer? Or would you just like to know more about Music History? Understanding the historical context behind the musical creation gives a broader knowledge of the repertoire.
I offer online and offline Music History lessons to everyone:
Conservatory students (support for exams, essays and lessons), musicians (classical and non classical) and any music lovers.
I adapt my teaching method to each student's needs.

I have been a Piano teacher for many years, both to kids and adults. This is something I am very passionate about and truly enjoy.
My goal is to combine the students' interests with a program that I as a teacher find necessary to improve and develop technique and skills. I have also taught Piano to my kids, so I understand how important it is that Piano lessons are interesting and exciting.
I studied at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and give the lessons at my studio at grand piano in Amsterdam Zuid.

Hi,

My name is Benjamin and I am 16 years old. I give guitar lessons and I really enjoy teaching people to play the guitar. I give you as a student the opportunity to choose songs yourself, but of course I also like to inspire my students. I enjoy learning everything from fingerstyle to hard rock. I myself am very much in the rock scene and love artists like The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. I would like it if you indicate where you want to grow yourself on the guitar. I teach acoustic and electric guitar, so fortunately you have complete freedom as a student. I teach my lessons physically and online (depends on what works better for you). If you want it at home, I agree. So have you always wanted to play the guitar, and you really can't pass it up? Let us know and become a real artist!

If you’re interested in learning the flute and/ or gaining a new understanding of music through harmony, this lesson will provide that for you.

If you choose to, we’ll cover technique, improvisation, reading music, tone control and expression. We’ll also go over the fundamentals of harmony to give you the tools that will help with any other instrument. Your listening skills will also be developed. All entirely up to you, of course, we’ll only go as far as you wish.

Hi, my name is Jim. I'm an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the Fontys Academy of Arts (Rockacademie) in Tilburg, Netherlands. Music has always been my way of exploring the world — through raw field recordings, synthesis, and emotional storytelling. Over the past 12 years, I’ve developed a complete, self-sufficient creative process: from concept to composition, sound design to vocal production, mixing, mastering, and live performance. I’m passionate about helping others gain those same end-to-end technical skills — so they can bring their own musical vision fully to life.

As Malvae, I’ve written, sung, recorded, produced, mixed, mastered, and performed all of my work. My music reached #17 in the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA, gathered millions of streams, and featured in international film productions including King of the Streets and Netflix’s Terrace House Japan. One of the most formative moments in my career was my Amazonas album project, where I traveled into the Amazon rainforest to record and manipulate natural sounds. 90% of that album was created entirely from these field recordings, reshaped through granular synthesis and advanced sound design into a cohesive sonic journey. That experience deeply shaped how I approach my music and how I teach sound design and composition.

I’ve headlined shows at iconic venues like Melkweg Amsterdam with immersive, self-built audiovisual live sets using Ableton Live, modular gear, sequencers, and Resolume for live integrated visuals. I curated my own events and performed at venues like A’dam Tower, OT301. I also teach at studios such as Wisseloord in Hilversum, guiding students through the technical and creative intersections of sound and performance.

Selected Works & Collaborations:

My EP Like Bees to a Hive began as a soundscape for fashion brand Lobomar’s collection Final Orders, Please, presented at the Amsterdam World Museum. I collaborated with South African poet Julia-Beth Harris, integrating her spoken word into a seamless, atmospheric release. From sequential Prophet 6 textures to ADX1 drum machine layers and detailed field recordings, I handled every layer, from concept through multitrack production to the final live performance in London.

My Chrysalis EP, released as a limited-edition heavyweight red vinyl, pushed that even further, combining ethereal vocals, analog grit, and unique textures to craft an emotionally rich release. I personally led every part of the project’s technical and creative execution, from arrangement and vocal production to final mixing, mastering and vinyl press preparation.

In addition to my own projects, I’ve worked as a vocal producer and mixing engineer, including on Esther Veen’s EP Before I Go, where I handled recording, complex vocal layering, creative processing, production, multivocal arrangement and final mixing to deliver a polished, high-impact sound.

About the lessons:

My sessions are fully customised to your experience level, goals and grounded in real-world music production. Whether you’re just getting started or want to deepen your technical ability, you’ll learn how to develop professional workflows and the creative independence to finish what you start.

We can explore:

- Building advanced music production workflows and creative strategies
- Recording, Composition, arrangement, and storytelling through sound
- Full-stack mixing and mastering — from bedroom setups to pro-level delivery
- Synthesis and sampling — from sound shaping basics to high-level manipulation
- Multi vocal production, vocal recording, editing, layering, FX, and creative processing techniques
- Translating your music into a compelling live set with Ableton Live
- Applying music theory practically in electronic, cinematic, and contemporary music

Lessons are available online or in-person at my studio in Amsterdam. For online students, I use high-quality real-time tools that allow us to collaborate with full-resolution audio directly from your DAW — no screen sharing limitations, just real work in real time.

My own musical path often started by blending the sounds I encountered in the world, whether from distant rainforests or my own voice , into something personal and expressive.
I found my sound that way, and I’d love to help you find yours.

(And don’t worry — we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to do it. I’ll show you how to turn the sounds you already have into something truly your own.)

Whether you're just starting out or ready to go deeper, I look forward to helping you grow through structured, creative, and technically grounded electronic music education.

!!LOOKING FOR NEW GUITAR HEROES!!!
"As one of the most popular and accessible instruments in today's musical landscape, the guitar spans a wide range of genres and its incredible sonic possibilities have made it a key instrument over the past 60 years. ." Eh?! What?!! Let's stop the blabla... Guitar is killing! Everyone loves it (that's probably why you're here) and I'm guessing you're like "How can I learn some of this crazy guitar stuff without selling one of my kidneys to some creepy guy on Youtube".

Well... I'm not offering you the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, sprinkled with angel dust and full of groupies languidly waiting for you backstage, but I can at least offer you an organized guitar lesson based on a comprehensive approach to the instrument, targeted to your musical aspirations... In other words: what YOU like! I sincerely believe that the most effective way to learn music is to delve into what you love and explore it with passion and dedication. We will always start from the songs you like, step by step, following your workflow. My goal is simply to give you the best tips and tricks so that you can enjoy playing the songs you love or, if you wish, organize your guitar practice in the most efficient way.

MOST IMPORTANT: I love to jam so be prepare to play some music :-).

Together we will tackle various topics, we can also focus on:
- Learn a song and be able to do it by yourself later.
- Explore different musical styles: Pop, Rock, Blues, Funk, Jazz...
- Guitar techniques using scales, triads and arpeggios.
- Understand harmony and how to build chords.
- Use your ear as a tool to find new ideas.
- Being able to provide a nice and steady groove by studying rhythmic figures.
- Immerse yourself in the beautiful world of improvisation.
- Develop your intuition and your creativity as an improviser and apply it to the material you already know.

!!!Only for the brave: we could also do a little music theory -> If you want!!!

For more than 10 years now, I have been teaching students of different ages and levels, all very satisfied with the lessons. We could also do it online if that is more convenient for you.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi I'm Daniel, an enthusiastic and dedicated guitar teacher who loves meeting his students' own goals. By combining my 6 years of experience in teaching guitar with my students' own interests, I help my students make progress in the most engaging way possible.

I provide my students with a grounding in the basics of technique and theory to make sure they develop good habits, enabling them to make use of the near-infinite resources online when they want to play and learn more in their free time and later in life. I believe a good teacher is one who makes their students able to go on independently and with joy and passion for their instrument.

Learn your favourite songs, demystify music theory, learn how songs are written (and get help writing your own), learn to play songs by ear, explore a range of genres... I look forward to helping you with your own musical journey!

About the lessons

Have you always dreamed of developing your musical talents? Are you an amateur singer or a beginner who would like to learn a few basics to better understand and control your voice? Then you've come to the right place! :)
As an option, I can also give introductory music theory lessons, to help you get to grips with the difficulties of musical language.
This course is aimed at all those who are just starting out or who want to perfect their singing skills, children or adults of all ages and backgrounds. /!\ Lessons will be given in English or French only, at my home in Amsterdam (Osdorp).

Course content

• Breathing exercises (to learn how to manage your breath and master good vocal support)
• Ear exercises (to develop in pitch accuracy and intonation)
• Vocalizing and voice exercises (adapted to the student's level) to warm up and develop a better voice technique
• Repertoire work on arias, songs or other musical pieces (classical or pop music, depending on the student's wishes) on which the student would like to progress
• (as a bonus, if needed) support or introduction to music theory

The musical goal and target level will be decided (under my guidance) on an individual basis in the beginning of our lessons, according to each student's wishes. The aim of this course is whatever suits you best: to improve your level in order to enter musical establishments, to progress in order to surpass yourself, or for the curiosity of discovering new things, or even just for the pleasure of making music!

I teach violin to children and adults, beginners and advanced.

Every student is unique. Besides developing good technique, I also enjoy meeting each student's musical wishes and dreams. Learning to play the violin is a collaborative process!

From the very first lesson, I pay a lot of attention to playing together, because making music together is the most fun there is!

In addition to individual lessons, I support my students' playing in orchestras, ensembles, and bands. There are also several opportunities to perform with the accompaniment of a professional pianist. Once a year, I organize a video recording day with several students for competitions and contests. My students have won awards, both in the Netherlands and internationally.

In addition to individual lessons, I offer a "MY LITTLE VIOLIN" STROLL COURSE for children aged 3-5. This course consists of 10 lessons for young children, introducing them to music and the violin. I also offer this course to English- and German-speaking children.

I teach violin in four different languages: Dutch, German, English and Italian.

Violin lessons at home are also possible.

About Me:
I'm a violinist with the Dutch National Opera & Ballet in Amsterdam. I've worked with numerous orchestras both in the Netherlands and abroad. I also perform chamber music and Brazilian choro (Duo Chorinho, with Alvaro Rovira Ruiz on guitar). I received international training at the conservatories of Hamburg, Rome, and Amsterdam.

I have been working as a violin teacher for over 30 years, including internationally, including a masterclass for Brazilian violin students at the University of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

I've been playing guitar for 15 years, two of which were at the conservatory. I'm currently studying musicology at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). My primary focus is playing the guitar, but I can also gain knowledge in music theory, music production, and composition. Above all, enjoying making music is my priority.
I also make my own music, so anyone who can already play a bit of guitar and wants to expand their skills to write their own songs is welcome! We can eventually record this on the computer and create our own music.

These music theory lessons are guided by a Chilean jazz composer with extensive experience in jazz and popular music. The focus of the classes is to provide a solid and structured understanding of the fundamental tools needed to read, analyze, and understand music in a clear and practical way.

The lessons cover core areas such as music notation and sight-reading, harmony, rhythmic concepts, formal analysis, and harmonic and melodic analysis applied to jazz and popular music. Through a combination of theoretical explanation and practical examples, students develop the ability to understand how music is constructed and how its elements interact.

The content is adapted to each student's level and background, whether they are beginners building a foundation or more advanced musicians looking to deepen their analytical skills and theoretical knowledge. Emphasis is placed on clarity, consistency, and real musical applications rather than abstract theory alone.

These lessons aim to strengthen musical understanding, improve reading and analytical skills, and provide reliable tools that support performance, composition, and improvisation.

Hello! I'm Noah, and I'm currently pursuing my Masters in double bass at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I'm from the United States, and I'm working towards a professional orchestra career in Europe.

It is my goal to engage with you -- the aspiring double bass player, to inspire you musically, to help you build fundamental techniques, build repertoire, prepare for auditions/competitions/recitals, and to ultimately help you become the best musician you can be.

These music theory lessons are guided by a Chilean jazz composer with extensive experience in jazz and popular music. The focus of the classes is to provide a solid and structured understanding of the fundamental tools needed to read, analyze, and understand music in a clear and practical way.

The lessons cover core areas such as music notation and sight-reading, harmony, rhythmic concepts, formal analysis, and harmonic and melodic analysis applied to jazz and popular music. Through a combination of theoretical explanation and practical examples, students develop the ability to understand how music is constructed and how its elements interact.

The content is adapted to each student's level and background, whether they are beginners building a foundation or more advanced musicians looking to deepen their analytical skills and theoretical knowledge. Emphasis is placed on clarity, consistency, and real musical applications rather than abstract theory alone.

These lessons aim to strengthen musical understanding, improve reading and analytical skills, and provide reliable tools that support performance, composition, and improvisation.
