fresh in town, currently pursuing to finish my studies while bringing a rich
background in music and education. With nearly 15 years of experience in
classical harmony, counterpoint, jazz harmony, and performance, I hold a
Bachelor's degree in Jazz Music from the Liszt Ferenc Academy in
Budapest, Hungary.
My primary instrument is the drums, but I am also
proficient in jazz piano, vibraphone, and body percussion

In addition to my musical background, I am experienced in Konnakol, the
classical Indian rhythmic language, which has further deepened my
understanding of rhythm and enhanced my teaching techniques.
Over the years, I’ve developed a strong foundation in teaching, with over 5 years of
experience in rhythm lab education, body percussion, and leading jam and
improvisation workshops for students of all ages. My approach combines
technical skills with creative expression, fostering an open and engaging
learning environment.

I am a positive, calm, open ,focused, and disciplined person who enjoys
engaging with students and clients alike. I speak fluent English, Greek, a
have a good knowledge of Hungarian, and I just started Dutch
lessons to better integrate into the local culture.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my musical expertise and
teaching experience to all of you are interested, I believe my diverse skill set and
passion for music education will allow me to make a meaningful impact with any of you.

Sincerely,
Billy

About Me
Hi!
My name is Billy and I’m a professional musician and music teacher based in Utrecht. I teach drums, piano, handpan and music theory to students of all ages and levels.

My teaching style is supportive, practical and student-centered. I believe learning music should be inspiring and enjoyable, not stressful. Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for exams, or an advanced player wanting to improve technique, groove or musical understanding, I adapt each lesson to your personal goals and learning style.

I like to combine solid technical foundations with creativity, improvisation and real musical application. For me, building confidence and musical expression is just as important as developing skills.

I enjoy working with motivated students who are curious and open to learning, but I also love helping beginners take their very first steps in music. My goal is always to create a relaxed and positive learning environment where students feel comfortable to grow.

The piano classes that I offer are adapted to the level, personality and needs of my students. I can teach a multitude of styles and I have experience in teaching for more than 9 years, working in official music education centers and with completed piano and primary teaching careers. Now I am going to study singing, so I can also give introductory classes in this discipline, as well as musical language, harmony, analysis or listening. Due to the experience I have in teaching suzuki piano and with music and movement, I can start with children from 3-4 years old, I also have experience in these methodologies.

My name is Katerina, and I am a Greek, hardworking, and ambitious young cellist. I live in beautiful Utrecht for the last six years and, even if my Dutch is not perfect, I feel the Netherlands as my second home.
Through my lessons, a pupil will be able to advance their technique, their understanding, and perception of music and their musicality. All these will be achieved through an individual model designed from every pupil based on their abilities, age, the time they want to spend on personal practicing and level. For me, each pupil must be taken care of at their own pace and based on their own needs and abilities, so the lessons will be as efficient and productive but as much enjoyable and fun as possible.

Joseph Moruzzi is a saxophonist originally from the United States and is currently residing in the Netherlands. The main focus of Joseph’s work as a musician is on classical and contemporary repertoire, which includes transcriptions of forgotten works, theatrical music, and new compositions written for the saxophone. Joseph has earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York as well as a Master of Music degree from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

As a teacher, I enjoy going through fundamentals when teaching the saxophone, whether that is technique, posture, or musicality. I make sure students are learning technique while playing pieces that they are interested in themselves, having a balance in the lessons. I also enjoy teaching various etudes or repertoire for the saxophone, giving the student a deeper understanding of the saxophone's history and versatility.

I am open to teaching in-person, but if virtual lessons are more convenient then thats is also possible. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
