Présentation

People that know me can describe a calm, easy-going and focused person with a lot of patience and kindness!
Teaching music for me isn't about achieving greatness, like in a competition, but really discovering an activity that will keep you interested and entertained for the rest of your life.
Of course, if what you need is to really really become one of the best, I can also guide you through that road, but my philosophy is "becoming better for yourself and not for others".
I use a large variety of techniques in teaching and lots of material that I painstakingly gathered through the years.
And, I always enjoy playing and jamming with my students, there's nothing better than actually sharing and communicating the music we learn through actual music!

Education

I have one bachelor degree and I'm finishing my second one in HKU Utrechts Conservatorium with a major on Jazz guitar.
I attended lessons and workshops/seminars with Jonathan Kreisberg, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Julian Lage, Bill Frisell, Tim Langedijk, Philip Catherine, Panagiotis Andreou(bass), Ben Wendel and Shai Maestro.

Expérience / Qualifications

I've been an active working musician since 2010 and I've been teaching guitar, oud and music technology and production since 2016.

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 ;-)

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.
