About Me

I started piano lessons at the age of seven, however only when I was a teenager I started learning music that I really loved and my interest in piano skyrocketed. That is why I believe piano lessons should be fun and engaging for students so they want to sit down and practice what they love. To help achieve this I include educational games in lessons with kids to reinforce concepts in a fun and memorable way.

Personally, I learned piano in a traditional classical way, I sat my grade 8 and senior cert exams in 2015/16 and I offer optional grade exams like these to my students, either with the Royal Irish Academy of Music or the Associated Board of the royal school of music but they are not compulsory. I completed my bachelor's degree in Music from TU Dublin Conservatoire in 2020 majoring in Piano Performance. My sights are now on getting my fellowship-level diploma.

I use a wide variety of method books with students in my studio. Sometimes it takes a few weeks to find the perfect book for each student's unique learning style. Some of my favourites include piano adventures, Get Set Piano, piano safari, and Poco Piano. I expect all students I work with to practice regularly (at least 6 days a week). Being consistent is key to success in playing piano. Music is a language and if you don't use it, you lose it! My current clientele makes up is 52% of adults. The current age range is 5 to 76. I recommend 30-minute lessons for all ages however if a student is either learning advanced repertoire or working on grade 6+ a longer lesson of 45 minutes or one hour may be necessary.

Education

Completed RIAM grades 1 to 8. RIAM senior cert, Bachelor of Music (Hons) specializing in Performance completed in 2020. I'm currently preparing for my FTCL exam.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over 7 years of teaching and performance experience. I have worked at many music schools in Europe and the US. Recently I joined the CBOI to play a sold-out concert tour in Ireland which ended with a sold-out show in Carnegie Hall in March. I'm an avid accompanist and accompany 50+ Instrumentalists for exams every year.

I am a student studying classical viola in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
I like to teach and share my passion of music amongst others. I can teach classical, pop and jazz music-whatever you find most suitable. For me the most important, is for you to come out of the lessons feeling inspired and enriched by music. If you are an absolute beginner, do not worry, we can find the best starting point for you.

In the Singelkerk in Amsterdam I teach on the beautiful church organ and on the beautiful Bösendorfer grand piano. Everyone (young and old, every level) is welcome! Enjoying playing the piano or organ is only possible with a good basic technique. I am happy to help you develop your playing.

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.

My teaching method meets the student's needs. Above all, I try to make people keep their passion and taste for music and my main goal is to make music or art a pleasure and not a sacrifice.

I motivate students, showing them the benefits of exploring their unique talents, but also not hiding the need for continuous work and with some obstacles, sometimes difficult, to overcome.

I let the students bring their own musical choices and, over time, I also recommend material that I think may be useful for a faster, simpler, and more efficient evolution.
As I said, I focus on the pleasure of singing but also on the technique that allows us to achieve the best results with less effort.
I hope that my way of teaching will work with you, but we always have to adapt to the needs and personalities of each one.
Come and try it!

I love teaching piano! I want to help a student in his artistic growth and fall more and more in love with music, but also give tips for playing technique. I also offer music theory classes for students who want to learn how to write music, hear music and understand its concepts.

You'll learn how to use the voice in the proper way, starting by your natural speech and developing it to find your own sound. I have experience in both Pop and Jazz styles (a Bachelor in Jazz Singing and a degree in Jazz Composition), so it's possible to study songs from both this repertoires. I also give Music Theory Lessons, to make the student develop his/her own style and musical sensibility and, in the case of Jazz, to know how to improvise on different chord changes and jazz styles.

Hi I'm Daniel, an enthusiastic and dedicated guitar teacher who loves meeting his students' own goals. By combining my 6 years of experience in teaching guitar with my students' own interests, I help my students make progress in the most engaging way possible.

I provide my students with a grounding in the basics of technique and theory to make sure they develop good habits, enabling them to make use of the near-infinite resources online when they want to play and learn more in their free time and later in life. I believe a good teacher is one who makes their students able to go on independently and with joy and passion for their instrument.

Learn your favourite songs, demystify music theory, learn how songs are written (and get help writing your own), learn to play songs by ear, explore a range of genres... I look forward to helping you with your own musical journey!

Hi, I'm Aliaksandra! I'm originally from Belarus and recently completed my Master's degree in classical cello and piano. I'm 25 years old, living in Amsterdam, and have been playing both cello and piano since I was 8.
After more than 15 years of studying and performing music, I've come to realize how much I enjoy sharing my passion and knowledge with others.I currently teach at Leerorkest Music School in Amsterdam and also offer private lessons.
I teach both piano and cello to students of all ages and levels—whether you're a complete beginner or more advanced. Lessons can take place at my home (in the centre of Amsterdam) or yours. I'm open to all musical styles and always aim to tailor my teaching to each individual student—because everyone learns differently, and everyone is unique. With the right approach, I truly believe that anyone can fall in love with music.
Feel free to reach out—I'd love to hear from you !
Cheers,
Aliaksandra

I’m a professional guitarist, composer, and producer with over 30 years of experience in recording, performing, and restoring vintage instruments. My lessons are built around real-world playing — not endless scales, but practical music that builds confidence, creativity, and great tone.

Whether you’re a beginner just picking up the guitar or an experienced player looking to refine your sound, I’ll help you understand not only what to play but why it sounds good.

We’ll cover:

Building solid rhythm and expressive phrasing

Understanding tone, pedals, and gear setup

Classic rock, blues, and modern techniques

Playing with feel and intention

Optional lessons on recording and home setup

Lessons are relaxed, friendly, and tailored to your pace. I teach both in person (Amsterdam) and online, and every student gets a personalized plan that fits their goals — whether that’s playing your favorite songs, improving tone, or developing your own sound.

If you’ve ever wanted lessons from someone who’s been there, both on stage and in the studio, this is for you.

Hello! I’m Leticia, a professional soprano from Cuba, now living in Amsterdam. I’ve spent years teaching at the National Conservatory of Music in Cuba, performing as a soloist, with choirs, and in ensembles of various formats, sharing stages nationally and internationally. My experience spans classical, jazz, salsa, and traditional Cuban music

I’ve just arrived in Amsterdam and I’ve recently started learning Dutch and I am getting more confident in English. Even though I’m working on many personal goals, what truly drives me is the desire to work especially in the field I love and have dedicated so many years of my life to, helping students of all ages discover their musical voice, whether it’s singing, playing piano, or understanding music theory.

I strive to make every lesson fun, pleasant and most importantly comfortable for each student’s pace and process. Every class becomes a shared journey of learning and exploration, where enjoyment and inspiration come first. My goal is to help you grow with confidence and discover the full potential of your musical voice.

I offer in-person lessons here in Amsterdam for all ages.

Let’s start your musical journey today and bring the musician in you to life!

As a music teacher my ultimate goal is to inspire students to express themselves through music. In my class you will learn how to express yourself through the guitar (or bass), learn your favorite songs and be comfortable improvising and creating music!
