Blues Guitar and Blues Piano Lessons Delta Blues, Texas Blues, Piedmont Blues, West Coast Blues, Chicago Blues, Boogie Woogie, Barrelhouse, Jazz Blues If you want to learn to play the blues or expand your knowledge, you've come to the right place. Lessons are taught in a relaxed yet serious setting. I have a greater affinity for traditional blues than blues rock. You don't necessarily need to be able to read music, either for guitar or piano. I can teach you (the basics of) sheet music on the piano and explain the tablature system for guitar. You certainly don't have to follow the music stave religiously; finding the right feel and trying to improvise are more important and central. Recognize and understand the blues patterns: 8 bars, 12 bars, 16 bars, ragtime blues, and all its variations. A suitable schedule is made for each student personally. I'll determine what works best for you as an individual and, in consultation with you, develop a lesson plan based on that. For example, you can choose the songs you want to play and the techniques you'd like to learn/improve. I also know which instructional materials are most suitable for you and can draw from a substantial blues library, available in book, audio, and video formats. Acoustic Guitar Blues Fingerstyle, Travis picking, monotone bass, playing a bass line and melody notes at the same time, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, double stops, heel damping, playing with a thumb pick and capo, mastering the country blues positions (C, D, E, G, A) and possibly alternative tunings (e.g. Vestapol and Drop D). Learn to play in the style of Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Charley Patton, Brownie McGhee, Robert Johnson, Mance Lipscomb, etc. Electric Guitar Blues Pentatonic scales, blues ladders, blues boxes, blues chords/rhythms/licks/trills/riffs/turnarounds, phrasing, call and response, bending, vibrato, timing, dynamics. Learn to play in the style of BB King, Albert King, Freddie King, Otis Rush, T-Bone Walker, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Michael Bloomfield and more. Piano Blues Left hand patterns (eight to the bar, shuffles, walking bass, ascending and descending), tremolos, rolls, grace notes, drone notes, intros and outros, breaks, crossovers, comping, arpeggios, octaves, intervals (thirds and sixths), blues chords (6, 7 and 9) and their inversions. Learn to play in the style of Otis Spann, Memphis Slim, Big Maceo, Champion Jack Dupree, Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, Dr. John, etc. For both beginners and advanced students and all ages. Lessons in Dutch or English are possible. You can choose the lesson duration and frequency yourself. Feel free to send a message for more information and questions.

I give piano lessons at home based on the experience of the student himself. For example: a student has studied a piece of music or a song or invented something himself; on the basis of that piece I can hook up on technique, chords, noting the notes myself, or a piece of theory. Depending on age, knowledge and development, I can add something, or we can watch a tutorial or other examples on YouTube for example. I give piano lessons, but I also think it is important to teach people to make music (together). In the lessons I focus more on light than classical music. It is especially important that the student is committed to having fun. With a musical greeting; Otto

I am a classical pianist who had a professional piano training in the conservatory and have more than 9 years teaching experience. I give lessons in for children(from 7 y-old) and adults, all levels are welcome! My teaching concept is based on "how to play piano with mindfulness": Piano playing for me is a meditation, since years I have experienced my own way of spiritual growing which connect to my piano playing intimately, I feel very much to help people through the music. It is always inspired me to work with students and to see how much they grow in music. In the lesson I focus on classical music but you can also bring your favorite one(any), and you will learn different piano playing skills, music theory, and how to play/practice piano with your consciousness.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

My piano lessons are structured, encouraging, and designed to make learning piano feel both achievable and fun. Students learn the fundamentals they need to become confident musicians, including music reading, proper technique, rhythm, and playing skills, while also getting to learn songs they actually enjoy. I believe that learning music shouldn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating. I break down new concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps and adjust my teaching to each student’s age, experience level, learning style, and goals. Whether you’re completely new to piano or looking to build on skills you already have, we’ll work together to help you make steady progress. No prior experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and a love for music! I’m excited to help you begin (or continue) your musical journey!
