From 48 £ /h

I think it is important to learn a good musical basis adapted to your student's needs and skills. I am a guitar teacher and a school musician so you can learn everything in the music field. Classical guitar, song accompaniment with vocals, singing groups for adults and children etc. Also pupils who need special guidance or a disability are very welcome. Fun and fulfillment in and through music are the most important starting points. Home schooling is also possible.

Extra information

If you want to have guitar lessons you need a basic (spanish) guitar with nylon strings to practice at home.

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.

Learning to play the guitar can be an amazing experience at every stage of the process! My ultimate goal is to help my students to develop their skills and musical understanding by learning and playing music that they like.

Therefore I adapt my teaching methodologies to the tastes and needs of every student. Throughout every lesson, we will work on three main courses of development: technical aspects, theoretical knowledge, and performative practice.

My classes are open for anyone who would like to enjoy exploring the universe of music: beginners and advanced, children and adults, you are all welcome to book the first lesson.

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.

Hello! My name is Aurel and I am a French Amsterdam-based drummer.

Although currently specialized in Jazz music, I have studied various esthetics, and Pop and Rock music, in particular, are part of my background (I played in several pop-rock bands). Therefore I am able to teach a broad panel of music styles. I also have many drum methods and charts at my disposal, and have experience in teaching children from the age of 6, as well as teenagers and adults.

Lessons and teaching method:
I always adapt to the student's tastes and learning profiles. This is why, during the first lesson, and on a regular basis afterwards, I always take time to discuss with my students (or their parents if they are very young) to figure out together the path they want or need to follow. I will use charts and methods for those who need visual support to assimilate the skills or teach by ear and by demonstrating to the ones who feel more comfortable this way. I also play electric guitar and can jam with my students, which is a great tool for developing band playing skills or simply to have a good time.

For those eager to make significant progress, I offer consistent and serious monitoring, with practice recommendations. I can for instance prepare a student for an audition or an entrance exam in a conservatory. If you are willing to improve your understanding of rhythm in general, you can also benefit from my knowledge of Indian Karnatic rhythm concepts, one of the most complete traditional approaches to rhythm.
Students who simply want to learn at their pace, to have fun and unwind, are definitely welcome too!

About me:
In addition to my jazz drums bachelor and master degrees from the conservatory of Amsterdam (CvA), which included a thorough pedagogical training and a specialization in Indian Karnatic techniques, I benefit from 4 years of experience as an employed drum teacher in two French associative music schools (Ecole de musique de Nangis and Conservatoire des Deux Rives, Moret-sur-Loing).

I am also an active musician, both on the Dutch and the French scene. My trio mainly tours in France and has played at venues such as the Sunside (Paris), or participated in competitions like the Keep An Eye International Jazz Award. I am also the co-leader of the sextet Chai Masters, finalist of several European competitions (Leiden Jazz Award, Golden Jazz Trophy in Lille, France, 7 Virtual Jazz Contest). Recently, the band was part of Keep An Eye The Records's finalists (March 2022). Its first album "Magic Realism" received critical acclaim in France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

Looking forward to meeting you and passing on my know-how to you!

Graduate in Performing Arts from TAI University

Graduate in Psychology with a Master’s in Music Therapy from UNED

Specialized jazz studies at Berklee College of Music and Escuela de Música Creativa

Studies in singing styles and vocal physiology at Nina Academia

Vocal recovery training with LaxVox at Aurea Speech Therapy Clinic

I have been studying opera and classical singing since the age of 12, as well as jazz, choral, and musical theater singing. I have been performing in musicals since 2015.
These studies have given me a wealth of tools to adapt to what each student needs and wants, because the most important thing is that we never stop enjoying music.

My classes are based on three core principles. The first is having a clear method, rooted in the real functioning of the voice—its physiology (what science tells us about how we use the body to sing)—and applicable to anyone, step by step, with logic. I always prioritize the student’s vocal health and rely on scientifically proven methods. I use simple language, without unnecessary technicalities, so everything is easy to understand and makes sense.

The second is the emotional and psychological aspect. For me, connecting with the person in front of me is essential—understanding how they think, how they perceive themselves, what blocks them, and what motivates them. This way, I can adapt the classes to their personality and goals. I try to create a relaxed environment based on respect, trust, and a little humor, where everyone feels free and comfortable. We aren’t all born with the voice we wish we had, but we can all develop what we do have—and on that journey, singing becomes a way to know and accept yourself better.

And the third is the dedication and professionalism with which I approach this work, which I am truly passionate about.

All classes are divided into a warm-up and vocalization section, followed by work on a chosen piece suited to the student’s level and preferred style. Regardless of style or level, a foundation in classical singing will always be established.

To learn how to sing, you will need to learn two aspects: the technical aspect related to body awareness and the purely musical aspect of language. My teaching method is based 50% on technique and 50% on practice:
the first part of the lesson will be dedicated to exploring vocal techniques and body awareness
the second half will be spent singing your favourite songs, gradually putting into practice what we have done previously.
Every student is different, and singing is the most subjective instrument there is, as it is composed of flesh and bones, so the lessons will be tailored to your needs.

In my lessons, I teach the basics of music production. Together with the student, I help achieve a result that meets their wishes. This includes music theory, composition, and knowledge of various instruments. It also covers the basics of mixing and mastering your own songs.

For me, lessons are not about rushing through theory or trying to sound “correct” as quickly as possible. They’re about finding what excites you, understanding the music you already love, and building the skills to play, create, and express yourself with confidence.

Lessons can focus on one area or combine things naturally — for example, learning guitar while writing your own songs, or using Ableton to develop an idea into a full arrangement. My goal is to keep music curious, practical, and enjoyable, and to help each student find their own way into it.

I believe music is for everyone and anyone can be a good musician, given enough patience and effort.

I chose guitar because it is simply one of, if not, the most versatile and "alive" instrument out there. Here, my aim is to teach you everything that I know regardless of your experience. From basic chords to learning how to improvise and, why not, write your own songs at some point.

Guitar lessons with Elias (In person, Virtual or Hybrid) are tailored to your goals, experiences and musical interests. Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to the guitar, or are looking to develop your skills further, lessons are designed to be practical, enjoyable, and encouraging.

We can develop your technique, sight reading, chords/harmony, scales, repertoire, improvisation, ear training, music theory and performance skills.

I welcome students who want to develop serious ability and freedom on the instrument as well as students interested primarily in learning their favorite songs. Each lesson is adapted to your level and pace, with clear guidance and achievable goals to help you build confidence and make steady progress. My aim is to help you become a more confident, creative, and independent guitarist while, most importantly, enjoying the process of learning.

Guitar lessons in East Amsterdam. Guitar lessons for children and adults. Guitar lessons for beginners and advanced players.
Discovering Music Together

There is something special about helping someone find their own musical voice, whether you are just starting out or have been playing for years. Music is something personal and deep—it is about expression, connection, and joy.

In our lessons, we focus on what excites you about music. Perhaps you want to learn to improvise more freely, explore harmony in a new way, or simply play your favorite songs with greater ease. Whichever path you choose, I will help you build a solid technical foundation, while prioritizing creativity and the joy of playing.

Classes for Adults & Teenagers

For experienced players, we can delve deep into jazz improvisation, composition, and various playing styles. If you are just starting out, we build a solid foundation step by step, ensuring the music always remains inspiring and accessible. The goal is not just to play the right notes, but to feel truly at home on the guitar and enjoy the process.

Lessons for Children – Learning Through Play

Music is a powerful tool for a child's development. In addition to learning to play an instrument, it strengthens memory, concentration, and problem-solving abilities. Research shows that music also promotes language development, coordination, and emotional intelligence.

I ensure that lessons for children are playful and intuitive—with games, ear training, and creative exercises so that learning feels like discovery. Whether it involves playing simple melodies or experimenting with sounds, children build self-confidence, patience, and a lasting love for music through play.

A Shared Musical Journey

For me, lessons are a shared journey of discovery. It is not about strict methods or quick results, but about a deeper connection with music, in a way that suits you. Does that sound like something for you? Feel free to get in touch—I would love to play music with you!
