I am Dimitrios, I am a greek professional guitarist. I graduated with a masters degree in Jazz guitar from Conservatorium van Amsterdam and also studied in the conservatory of Leeds, UK.
As a musician my primary focus is jazz music but I also often play other styles like soul, Rnb and more.
So far in my teaching career I have had experience with many different ages, from 7 to 40 years old and I think I have managed to pass on to them some of my passion for music.

Building a repertoire: Blues, Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, Rnb & soul
Guitar Techniques

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.

I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

Hi! My name is Eduardo, a professional musician and long-time music teacher. I am offering physical and online lessons in Music Theory, Improvisation and Instrument.
#Harmony #Composition #Solfège #Saxophone #Clarinet #Piano

Lessons are addressed to every student profile, regardless of age, level of expectations (no matter if it is seen as a hobby or rather if the individual is getting prepared for official Conservatory auditions, etc.).

We will play and/or focus on what the student is willing to deepen into (whatever music style they are interested in, more theoretical aspects or rather practical ones), trying to get the maximum profit of the employed time, and prioritising the actual learning of the person as the main factor for their motivation.

I obtained my Jazz Music Master's program at the Prince Claus Conservatoire of Groningen in June 2022.
Previously, in 2018, I graduated from my music Bachelor's at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona (Spain).

Eyal

Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz, classical music, electronic music, and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach which can be adjusted to every student separately.

Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing at a party or jumping on stages, reading notes, or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is to help you find that out, and guide you through your process.

Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

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.

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.

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.

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!
