Singing to me is the best feeling ever. Your entire body is moving and your head is totally empty of worries. You lose who you are and transform into a new person.
One time you are a prince or princess, the other a warrior fighting a duel. Maybe you stare at a beautiful river or fall in love like never before. All of this and even crazier situations are material for songs. Singing is so much more than just notes, it is about using your fantasy and telling a story. I love this feeling so much that I want to share how you can experience all of this while singing.

In general, singing is a combination of technique (pitches and rhythm), posture, and breathing. Next to that, we have diction, acting, body language, expression, and joy! You sing because you like it!

Singing is for all ages, all levels, and I adapt my lessons to your level.

Don't worry if you can't read sheet music, it is a bonus if you can.

If you have any questions feel free to write me a message.

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

Learn to enjoy music together while playing cello with me!

- I help to prepare for music/cello exams towards Music Academies as well as I assist students with practicing.

- I work with beginners, helping them with the basics of cello techinque together with basic music theory

- One of my methods while teaching is to play together with a student as much as possible to teach them the art of chamber music but also good communication skills while practicing together.

- I combine different methods depending on the student's needs (and technical level)

- as a professional cellist with an educational studies background I implement different psychological ideas including observational learning, ideas of Piaget and Vygotsky, and others

- I use the background in Feldenkrais technique lessons in my own teaching

Feel the urge to spread your musical talents outside of the bathroom? Bored with watching Netflix and looking for a new hobby? Or do you want to become a professional, and need help preparing for auditions?

Good news! Coming December I will start giving individual singing lessons!

Who I am?
Hi! My name is Jobbe. Once upon a time, I was an aspiring academic, but longing for a more creative way to share my voice I started singing and quite I recently graduated form the Master of Music program direction Music Theatre. I know how arduous the artistic journey can be yet, we take it none the less, because we are all striving for this little moment of magic that arises when everything falls into place. For me, I saw this happening many times during a performance but also in coaching others and it gives me chills every time. And I would be honoured to help you pass on this little spark of magic to others!

As I am only just starting with these individual lessons for a limited time they are available.

From the technique and theory of singing to performative qualities and coaching, I can help! Together we can work to get your singing to the next level!

So feel free to send me a message and I hope to hear from you soon!

Wil je nu ook wel eens buiten de douche wil zingen? Zoek je een nieuwe hobby in deze tijden.
Wil je verder in het vak? Dat treft want ik heb tijden beschikbaar om zanglessen te geven.

Wie ben ik?
Ik ben Jobbe, aangenaam! Recent afgestudeerd aan het conservatorium in tilburg in een Master of Music richting muziek theater. Mijn eigen focus ligt op musical, klassiek en kleinkunst repertoire, maar ik kan ook op andere genres coachen.

Van techniek en theorie tot performance, alle facetten van het zangvak kan ik je bij helpen.
Samen kunnen we werken om je zangkunsten naar een nieuw niveau te tillen!

Dus schroom niet en stuur me vooral een berichtje! Hopelijk tot snel!

Who are the lessons for?
Our saxophone lessons are for everyone from 8 years and older. The saxophone is ergonomic and easy to produce your first notes, so you will soon enjoy your first lessons.

Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics, an advanced player looking to improve your technique, or someone looking to improvise and make music together, lessons are tailored to meet your needs!

Sax lessons!
Invented by Adolphe Sax, the saxophone is a unique instrument that combines the warm and powerful sounds of brass and woodwinds. Thanks to its versatility, the saxophone feels at home in all kinds of music styles, from blues to classical.

We play the music you like, while also working on important basic skills, good technique and even exploring improvisation. Fun and creativity are key!

In addition, there is the possibility, once you have learned something, to join our saxophone group. Making music together is not only fun, but also inspiring!

Singing lessons for all levels and age. For beginners, together we can discover the range of your voice and build the breathing and singing technique. At the same time we will work on music theory, ear training and how to read a score. For mature singers, we can delve into the singing technique and interpretation and add pieces in your repertoire. The lessons are provided both online and in person and can be held in English or Greek. I also speak some Italian and German.

About me
I have been playing the piano for 15 years. I have studied Classical Singing in the Municipal Conservatory of Kalamata (Greece) and I have followed a two-year Early Music Programme in Athens Conservatoire. At the same time I studied Music Theory (Harmony) at the Greek National Conservatoire from which I gained my Harmony degree.
In addition, I have a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Here in The Netherlands, I finished my masters at the Utrechts Conservatorium and worked as a singer at the NKK NXT 2022-2023.

I have participated in Operas (“Julius Cesar”- 2015 in Athens Concert Hall and “Alcina”-2019 in Odeon of Herodes Atticus) as a member of a vocal ensemble and I have also performed as a soloist in many concerts. Some of the stages I have performed are: Concertgebouw Amsterdam, TivoliVredenburg, Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg, Athens Concert Hall, Greek National Opera and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

As a piano teacher, I'll ensure you have a solid technical foundation, but also that you can enjoy making music from the very beginning. I'd love to hear from you about your preferred direction—classical, pop, or jazz—and then we'll chart a course together.
