Sing with more power, expression and ease.
Feel relaxed when singing and finally reach those high notes confidently.
Have fun and enjoy the experience of making music together.

I have been working as a singing teacher since 2011 and I'd love to pass on my knowledge and experience as a performer and songwriter to you. In addition to my Bachelor and Master degrees in Jazz/Pop Voice Performance and Vocal Education (cities of study: Berlin, Mainz, Stuttgart, Lisbon) I regularly attend courses of the newest programs and voice research to constantly enrich your lesson with findings from modern vocal pedagogy.

Over the last 11 years my numerous students taught me that there is no universal recipe for vocal improvement, but there are indeed a lot of methods that can get you where you want. When planning your lesson I always take into account your personal strengths to help you find the best way to healthy, effortlessly and joyful singing.

About Me

Hi :)

I sing jazz and pop music with German, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese lyrics.

I play the piano, accompany myself with various percussion instruments and do sometimes also take up the ukulele.

I compose my own songs, and help others to write their own music and lyrics.

I do teach singing and (almost) everything related to it.

I am grateful to be able to pass on her experiences and even more grateful to learn something new from you every lesson.

I like to work artistically, scientifically, spontaneously, organized, loudly and quietly.
But above all, I love working with different people and offer 100% enthusiasm to every project, every song and every student.

From 8 to 80, everyone can learn to play the piano. Teaching with pop music and all kinds of styles between jazz and classical music. Individual lessons of an hour or half an hour. The intention is that a pupil also learns to study and gain insight into the musical structures (simple).

Drum and percussion classes with different methodologies depending on the student's objectives. From classes for those who start in the world of the drums to special classes of reinforcement for students who study music to a medium degree.

I offer classes at home where I will prepare the student to overcome his challenges and help him to achieve his dream of being a great musician. The students who decide to start playing will teach them from the most elementary (basic technique, musical reading, theory) to more advanced material such as musicality, learning different styles (jazz, rock, Samba, Funk, etc), improvisation, and much more.

Looking for guitar lessons? You've come to the right place!

Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced player looking to take your skills to the next level, I've got you covered. My teaching approach is all about tailoring the lessons to your needs and interests, so you can learn at your own pace and enjoy the process.

In our lessons, we'll dive into the practical side of playing, covering techniques, chord progressions, rhythm patterns, and melodic improvisation. You'll get to jam along to awesome songs and exercises that will help you develop a solid foundation in jazz, rock, funk, and blues.

For the ones interested, we'll also explore the theoretical side of music. I'll guide you through scales, modes, harmony and improvisation. This knowledge will not only improve your playing but also give you the freedom to create your own music and express yourself on the guitar.

Whether you dream is performing on stage, jamming with friends or simply strumming your favorite tunes in your bedroom, I'll help you reach your goals and become the guitarist you want to be.

Private lessons from a very experienced bassist with over 10 years of experience performing internationally and more than 5 years as a teacher. The lessons are for all levels, it is not necessary to have previous experience. In the lessons, we'll learn the instrument and musical theory but the main focus is to play and have fun doing so. In my experience, that's the key to success.

I'm mainly focused on Jazz music but I've performed several different styles of music and the lessons can be tailored to your musical interests. I've learned to play this instrument with the best teachers in Europe but I also studied in NYC with Jazz legends such as Buster Williams, Reggie Workman and David Wong.

Music is one of the art forms closest to speaking and communicating. For me singing is my greatest passion and a way to express myself like I could never with words. I want to share this passion with the world, guide you through the journey of discovering the endless possibilities of your voice and help you achieve your goals.

We will learn both the technical and emotional sides of singing, discover vocal techniques, body awareness and learn from other legendary singers. Any genre and wishes are welcome! I myself specialise in jazz, indie and pop singing, songwriting and music theory and am studying at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

Hello, my name is Marlou. I was nine years old when I first held a guitar. It was love at first sight. I always have my guitar with me. I've been teaching for ten years, and after a year of lessons, one of my students uttered the unforgettable line: "My guitar is my soulmate." With a guitar, you have a friend for life. I want everyone to experience that.
Everyone learns differently. Some people want to learn notes and visualize sheet music, while others play by ear. Some want to hear a song first and sing it without a guitar, while others want to play along right away. It's all possible. In your first lesson, you can tell me what you want to learn, and I tailor my lessons accordingly.
After each lesson, I'll give you exercises to practice at home. The more you practice at home, the faster we'll progress. If you'd like, you can record the lesson so you can listen to it again at home and practice along with it.
I'll teach you all the basic chords. I'll pay close attention to your guitar posture and the way you place your hands and fingers on the guitar. The better you master the basic chords, the easier it will be to learn new and more complex things later. I can also teach you how to strum the guitar. And if you're interested, I can teach you how to read music.

If you'd like to learn to sing while you perform, I can teach you simple tricks to make singing easier. I'm not a singing teacher, but thanks to my initial training in speech therapy, CVT (Complete Vocal Training) singing lessons, and my stage experience as a singer, I have extensive knowledge of learning proper breathing and training your breath support. I can also teach you how to overcome your shyness, if that's your problem. Playing and singing at the same time will then become a lot of fun.
