Classes are in either of the categories.
I am a qualified and music teacher with added experience with workshops, presenting events and working with companies, groups and organisations. My teaching age-range spans 3 - 86.

Currently launching a worldwide project online for Djembe Lovers.
Have been a piano player and teacher for quite a while and been involved in the area of personal growth and development for decades.

In the words of one student:
“I had the pleasure of learning piano with Norman. He is a great teacher, very experienced and passionate about teaching and music. Lessons are very creative and oriented for individual needs. Besides being a great teacher, he is a great human being, filled with empathy, understanding, and kindness.”

Extra information

Depending on the subject requested and the location of the lessons.
Pianists need a piano for practice. If taking lessons physically in person, I have a piano; if online they will require their own.
Djembe students need to have something on which to practice (even if a bucket to start with!) ;-)
Self-Improvement is a more open situation requiring journals / writing tools and large amounts of openness to improve.
I check-marked all durations since I can do any length as requested / required.

I offer private piano lessons to students of different ages and levels. Depending on the student's final goal we adjust the repertoire and skills that are needed for obtaining the goal.

My goal as a teacher is to keep and increase the students' love for music as well as to offer necessary and appropriate knowledge/skills to keep the student challenged.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream.

Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be.

Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship.

By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy).

Among the possible accompaniments, some examples:
- The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life
- How to resolve disagreements
- The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education
- Learn to express emotions
- Manage families and in-laws
- How to take your place within the couple
- Define the respective roles of each

Among the techniques used:
- Non-violent communication tools

- The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.
The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear.
The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social.
Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity.

- Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships.

- Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity.
It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life.
Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life.

- Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational.

- Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself.

At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson.

In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician.

Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

I provide fun and personalized piano lessons, by adapting lessons based on your proficiency(beginner, intermediate or advanced), age group, and goals (hobby and leisure, grade exams). For beginners, I start with the basics of the piano and begin with teaching Tutor books. Not only will you be playing songs and pieces in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note-reading, music theory,sight-reading, technique, and more!
My approach is to teach very thorough foundations so that my students are well prepared for exams and performances such as Trinity, ABRSM, School/ church performances

Get in touch to start your lessons! ( Please note: There may be a waiting list)

Have you ever wanted to learn to play the piano/keyboard but don't know where to start? Are you regretting giving up learning the piano/keyboard when you were younger? Do you feel that your current progress in playing the piano/keyboard is being held back?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes then please contact me. I always try to ensure that each individual student's interests are catered for. If you want to play for pleasure then I will encourage you to learn pieces that you like. Alternatively, if you are more interested in achievement, in terms of taking graded exams, then this is the pathway that we will take.
Enjoyment is the key to success as it leads to a desire to practise. So tayloring the class to your needs is absolutely essential and I am very keen to work with you to achieve this goal.

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

If you’ve ever wondered why your cat acts a certain way, or how to help them feel happier, safer, and more balanced at home, this class is for you. I focus on practical, compassionate guidance tailored to your cat’s unique personality and needs. During our session, you’ll learn interesting things about feline behavior (based on your goals): how to improve daily care, understand feline body language, prevent or reduce unwanted behaviors, and create a more peaceful environment for both you and your cat. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or simply want to deepen your bond, I’ll help you see your feline friend in a whole new light.

Although this class is listed under “pet trainer,” my approach is a little different. I don’t train cats in the traditional sense, I help YOU understand THEM. Think of me as a feline behavior translator: someone who explains your cat’s body language, emotional needs, and home environment so you can take better care of them and prevent common behavior issues.

I also combine this with gentle life-coaching principles for the owner. When you’re busy, stressed, or unsure how to handle your cat’s needs, it affects both of you. My goal is to support you and your cat together. Helping you create a calmer, more organized routine while improving your cat’s comfort, confidence, and happiness at home. Whether you want behavior insight, better daily care practices, or guidance to feel more grounded as a cat guardian, I’m here to help both sides of the relationship thrive.
