Hi, I'm Federica, I am Italian, and I am a Jazz piano player and singer. I studied at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague and I just completed a master in Vocals and Piano at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I give Jazz/Pop/Classical Piano lessons but my main goal is to try to give the student a general understanding of the music to approach every style and to have fun with music! I love to work with children, I like to teach them good values like patience, self-confidence, trust, communication, and collaboration, all through music. That's what I learn every day by studying music and that's what I would like to transfer to my students. I've been told that If you have music in your life, you can't be a bad person. I believe in it. I offer live and online lessons: Piano Singing Ear Training Technique Improvisation Repertoire Music Theory

An instrument that combines musicality and strong groove? An instrument that is easy from the first move? Percussion is the spark that makes you behoove! I am Keith, a Hong Kong percussionist based in Amsterdam and currently finishing my master degree in the Conservatory van Amsterdam. I have won several major international competitions and have great experience in performing. I have also taught privately and conducted masterclasses to inspire the next generation of percussionists. The best thing of being a percussionist is that you can play and find music anytime anywhere! Whether if it's a timpani or your comb, you can produce so many different sounds and exciting rhythm. With one technique, you can almost play anything! If you are a total beginner with music, percussion is one of the easiest way into it. Instruments sound nice already when you play them. Lessons start from knowing the pulse and developing your groove, to knowing the notes and establishing basic musicality. Then slowly you will explore the vast sound world of percussion, starting with drums, mallets instrument or any objects that you can think of! If you are looking for more help in excelling in your craft, my professional experience can offer you great guidance and advice, no matter if it's technically or artistically, or even stage presence and healthy mindset. My ultimate goal in teaching is to motivate my students to find joy and confidence through music. I will offer you a clear structure so that you will understand better how to reach your goal, and a supportive learning environment so that you can explore your potential! Here are some Q&A to know more about myself! Q: What other instruments except drumset can I learn from percussion? A: With similar technique, you can play mallets instruments like marimba which has a warm healing sound, or orchestral instruments like triangle or tambourine. And with the rhythmic sense from learning drum set, you can literally play groove in the world, no matter if it is latin or asian or middle east! The sky is the limit! Q: What do you value the most in your lesson? A: Sincerity and curiosity. I hope we can have honest communication and I can offer you new inspiration every lessons. Q: How do you keep your lessons engaging and fun? A: It all starts with your own interest and passion. If you have a specific genre or instrument that you like, we will build your musical sense from there, even if it's death metal or jazz. I will offer you different kinds of exercises and ideas until you own the skill. Q: What inspires you to become a musician? A: I just love to perform!

I believe that anyone can learn to program. And with an average rating of 8.5 for my exam training at, among others, lyceo, I have experienced a lot of others doing the same. Because of the programming minor that I did in addition to my Master's degree in Mathematics, I have seen where the friction is with many students and that often helped them on their way. I can do that because I taught myself to program next to my study Do you need help with a programming assignment, or are you not very good at the theory on your own? Then we start by looking at what you do know or understand, and where things are still unclear. Based on your understanding, we devise a plan of action for your assignment together. We usually only have an hour together and that flies by. That is why I offer for the entire week (7 days) after our tutoring to help you online, via WhatsApp or Messages (iOS) See you soon!

Don't want to just throw away your beloved broken or ill-fitting clothes? But can't figure it out yourself? With a few simple steps, they get a well-deserved second life, and often without a sewing machine! Repairing and altering clothes is wonderfully sustainable, good for your wallet, and also wonderfully zen to do. What are you learning? We will work specifically on the garments that you bring yourself and/or the techniques that you want to learn yourself. Taking into account the time and your own possibilities/sewing level, we will try to make your clothing wearable again. You will receive personal advice and learn specific techniques to tackle the problems with the clothing you brought. You will also learn about materials and tools that you can use to repair and adjust clothing. At the end of the lesson, you will have made one or more garments wearable again and learned a lot of techniques that you can continue to apply at home on broken and ill-fitting garments. If you choose to book a series of multiple lessons, I can offer you a full clothing repair course, covering as many clothing repair techniques as possible. At the end of each lesson you will receive a handout to take home, which explains the techniques again. What are you bringing? Clothing with torn seams or loose hems, stains, holes, tears, broken zippers, missing buttons or hooks. Clothing that is too big or too small in the waist, too long or too short in the hem, etc. If you have some sewing supplies at home, you can bring them along: needles, pins, thread, scissors, tape measure and seam ripper. If you don't have any, don't worry, all the necessary tools are available. And if you want to continue working at home, you can buy a Mending Kit from the teacher on the spot. There are also (vintage) haberdashery and materials for sale.
