About Me

Hi!
Composer, music theorist, and educator.
I did studies in Music Theory and Composition, I hold 2 Masters in Composition and in Media, Art, Design, and Technology.
I also studied Music Pedagogy, where I developed the course I'm offering: Piano lessons for those who want to play for joy. That means a dynamic class in which you will learn the basics fast enough to be playing some songs in just a few lessons. The final goal of this program is for you to be able to read and play chords and sheet music, such as jazz standards, songbooks, and musical theater scores.

I also teach music theory, from solfeggio and harmony to orchestration and composition.
This lessons are specially made for each student, so we can talk about your needs and I'll try my best to help you.
I can help you take the ABRSM theory examinations (grades 1-8), associate and licentiate diplomas.

Piano lessons for beginners and for those who would like to play as a hobby.
I created a special program for students who want to play any kind of music (popular, jazz, classical), but can't spend a lot of time studying.
You will learn how to read and play sheet music and chords. We cover the basics very fast so you will start playing your favorite songs right away.

I also cover some music theory that will help you get a better understanding of what you are playing. In this way the skills you get can then be used for playing other instruments, composing and songwriting.

Hello fellow musician!
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a saxophone player?
Wheter you are trying to become a jazz improviser, or you have just started familiarizing with the instrument, I can teach you how to:

- be able to produce a beutiful sound;
- use music theory as a practical way to play correctly over changes;
- maximize the outcome of your practice-time;
- master the technique on your horn.

As a student, I often found myself struggling with resolving a particular set of problems. I was constantly confronted with higher-levelled players, wondering whether I would ever become able to express myself as they did through their music. Having been studying jazz for many years, I experimented with a lot of different learning methods, only to find out that music improvisation is something that is mainly acquired in very personal, differentiated ways. One of the most interesting things I experienced as an educator, when encountering students who shared my own past insecurities, doubts, questions, and struggles, was getting to understand a part of the person in front of me; and to find new ways to help grasp and internalize a theoretical or technical concept that could then enable them to formulate a more coherent musical idea. Even if every student is a unique individual, thus responding to different educational methods, I think that, over time, I was able to identify a red line around which I could create a method that can be beneficial to the majority of aspirational players.

For the past few years, I have been giving private instrument lessons to jazz players with varied backgrounds and experience.
My educative career consists of a traditional classical, MA in classical saxophone (Conservatorio G. B. Martini, Bologna), a BA in jazz saxophone (ibid.), and a BA in jazz saxophone called New York Jazz Bachelor at the Prins Claus Conservatorium in Groningen, where I am now attending a Jazz Master program.

Always wanted to learn how to make music in FL Studio? Then this lesson is for you! I have been producing music with FL Studio for years and love to share my knowledge with people who want to learn this too. Whether you are a beginner and would like to learn how to make a song from scratch or if you are already more experienced and would like to take your music to a new level, I can help you with that.
I specialize in Electronic Dance Music (EDM), but I also have experience with many other genres.

I am currently taking a Professional Music Production course myself, so I also learn new things every week that I can include in my own lessons.

The love of music will be highlighted above all. A program adapted to each student will be established according to expectations. With the appropriate tools for the good practice of the violin and concrete objectives, we will be able to achieve a fast and satisfactory result.

I have been teaching for many years and I'm currently working as a "violin group leader" in the Noord Nederlands Orkest. My experience has led me around the world in contact with the greatest masters of the violin.

Violin and music have been the most important thing in my life and sharing my passion have always been a treasure to me.

When teaching viola, my main goal is to make sure the student has fun and I try to cater as much as possible to their wants and needs. I incorporate music theory and history into the lessons to create a thorough understanding of the music. I am specified in classical music, but am open to experimenting with the student in other genres.

Hello!
I can teach you guitar at any level and share with you my tricks in composition!
I'm open to teach you anything that you are interested in, I have a lot of knowledge on theory, harmony and solfege and I can teach you when is the right time to break the rules. I can also prepare you to enter any music academy.

I teach my students to be independent and to think as professional musicians. I want them not only to be able to understand, perform and arrange music but I also want them to have the big and realistic picture on how the music industry works. And that is why I include in my teaching how to develop a growing mindset that makes you hungry for learning.
I love leading my students to the process of discovering their musical personality.

I'm originally from Italy but lived in Netherlands the last 7 years and New York. I live in Amsterdam at the moment

This experience shaped me into a truly versatile musician — equally comfortable playing jazz, rock, blues, funk, bossanova, pop.

I've been playing the piano for 14 years. I enjoy sharing classical music with others in a playful way. We start with simple songs and then move on to short pieces by classical composers, also exploring music theory. We can also learn songs of our choice.

Jazz is more than a musical style—it’s a language for expressing who you are. Through singing, improvisation, composition, and listening, students learn how to transform emotions, ideas, and personal experiences into music.

Lessons can include jazz vocals, pop vocals, composition, arranging, ear training, and music theory, depending on each student’s interests and goals. Beyond technique, we will also explore the cultural and historical backgrounds of different musical styles, helping students develop a broader artistic perspective.

Using practical examples from real music, theory becomes something you can hear, feel, and immediately apply. Whether you are taking your first steps in music or looking to deepen your musicianship, lessons are designed to encourage creativity, curiosity, and individual artistic growth.
