    FLUTE/SAXOPHONE. Jazz/technique/improvisation lessons.

    This class includes absolutely everything what the student is interested in terms of jazz and improvised music since the openness of Markus and thanks to the previous experience from CVA in terms of teaching and playing jazz in the Amsterdam Scene.

    Markus follows a more open-environment learning atmosphere whilst keeping the traditional teaching methods in mind. Technique exercises and information about the improvised music are the 2 pillars of the lesson. Also, its good to mention that the lessons are not what you'd expect from a traditional lesson. We rarely use paper in the lesson and the most important aspect is not the eyes but the ears. Since improvisation doesn't use paper, why would we use it in the lesson?

    Extra information

    Lap-top, Phone, Personal Flute(organizable from the teacher). Also the times of the lessons are very flexible but fixed lessons are also welcome.

    About Me

    Teaching is such an important aspect in the world and since the beginning of time, Music has been the most important collective activity since the beginning of time. And in that Spirit, I try to continue the lineage of the collective improvisation in my music.
    Thus, I have developed a different teaching method, the one where I use paper as little as possible and develop ear-training to the maximum. Personally, I have recieved so much good feedback and positive energy for myself that this job is what I really adore.

    Education

    Markus started playing flute when he was 7. Seeing the potential, when Markus finished music school at the age of 12.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

    Flute and Music Theory tuition for students of all levels
    I have played the flute for more than 20 years, and have been teaching since 2011. I offer flute lessons to children aged 8 and up, and adults at all levels from beginners to post Grade 8. I also teach recorder to younger beginners- I find this is a good stepping stone for younger children as it's more comfortable for smaller beginners to hold, and easier to make a sound on. Learn to pass exams or just for fun- many of my students achieve highly in ABRSM and Trinity grades, but some prefer not to take exams and this is fine too. Whatever your level, one to one tuition means that I can tailor my teaching to your needs as a flute player, and my teaching takes into account the reasons you learn an instrument, encompassing a wide variety of repertoire. I also teach music theory- lots of students come to me to help prepare for Grade 5 theory, and I also teach higher theory grades.
