    Cello, music composition, theory, improvisation, any music question

    Do you want to discover the cello? Improve yourself? Play the songs you like to hear?
    All ages, levels and musical styles are welcome.
    My personalized teaching method is to study the profile and the difficulties of each student, in order to be able to offer him a learning method that corresponds to him.
    I offer individualized classes, with different methods depending on the objective of each student.
    Learning an instrument is not only a skill, but a lifetime enjoyment. The need to express emotions or let loose some inner tension, an instrument is the perfect tool. Music sings the sound of the soul, and the cello is the perfect instrument. Having played the cello for 17 years, i can say that music is a must for a happy life. It is the universal language. Dont be afraid to take that first step.
    I will be very happy if I can help you, and show you how fun and easy can be playing cello!

    I am enthusiastic, creative, open to new challenges. I am versatile - I have performed a
    large repertoire of diverse cello music. I collaborate in chamber ensembles, in
    orchestras, also have been playing in orchestra in Germany, Lithuania, Czech Republic, in
    Malta, In Poland, I have also been playing solo with orchestra. I accepted an invitation to
    become a cello teacher and it was helpful as I became more critical of myself and I was
    looking for new techniques and methods.
    I have been composing since the age of 8, I write compositions in the chamber music genre, including for cello solo, cello and piano, piano and oboe and string quartet. Music is my language and my way to express myself, I feel
    every note deep in my heart and it is reflected in the timbre of the cello.

    About Me

    I am enthusiastic, creative, open to new challenges. I am versatile - I have performed a large repertoire of diverse cello music. For instance, Bach, Beethoven, Boccherini, Breval, Tchaikovsky, Schnittke, Popper, Davidoff, Piatti, Faure, Prokofiev, Milhaud, Saint-Saens, Haydn, Cassado, Hindemith, Schumann, Ravel. I collaborate in chamber ensembles, in orchestras, also have been playing in orchestra in Germany, Lithuania, Czech Republic, in Malta, In Poland, I have also playing solo with orchestra. I accepted an invitation to become a cello teacher and it was helpful as I became more critical of myself and I was looking for new techniques and methods.
    2 years of work experience in official music school and 3 years experience teaching private lessons.
    I have been composing since the age of 8, but I became professional when I met Peteris Vasks. He has been my composition teacher and my great inspiration. I write compositions in the chamber music genre, including for cello solo, cello and piano, piano and oboe, string quartet. Music is my language and my way to express myself, I feel every note deep in my heart and it is reflected in the timbre of the cello.
    The cello is a very versatile instrument and can be used in many different styles. That's why I'm very open in my lessons and I'm happy to help my students learn classical and less classical playing techniques so that they can play the music they want.
    I will introduce You with the magic of music.

    Electronic Music Production – Ableton Live, Synthesis, Sound Design, Composition, Mixing, Mastering, and Live Performance
    Hi, my name is Jim. I'm an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the Fontys Academy of Arts (Rockacademie) in Tilburg, Netherlands. For me, making music is about building the skills and mindset to bring creative ideas to life and I’m passionate about helping others do the same. As Malvae, I have written, sung, produced, mixed, and performed my own music, reaching #17 in the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA, gathering millions of streams, and featuring in films like the upcoming documentary King of the Streets and a Netflix series. One of the highlights of my artistic journey was the Amazonas Project, where I traveled deep into the Amazon rainforest to record and transform natural sounds into a full-length concept album, blending storytelling, sound design, and music into a single experience. I had the honour of headlining my own show at Melkweg Amsterdam, one of the Netherlands' most iconic venues, and curated my own events while performing immersive, self-built live sets with visuals. I’ve also taught technical music skills at professional facilities such as Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum. Music has taken me to places I never imagined, from the Amazon rainforest to some of the most iconic stages and I'm excited to help you build your own creative path. In my lessons, I offer structured, personalised education in music production, composition, sound design, mixing, mastering, and live performance. Areas we can explore together include: - Developing advanced music production workflows and creative problem-solving techniques - Composition, arrangement, and innovative sound design - Professional recording techniques, mixing, and mastering fundamentals - Synthesis and sampling techniques, from basics to complex sound design - Live performance design using Ableton Live, with optional visual integration via Resolume - Applying music theory practically within electronic, experimental, and contemporary music contexts Lessons are tailored to your individual goals and are available both online and in-person at my studio in Amsterdam. For online students, I use specialised tools that allow us to collaborate in real-time with HD audio quality. My own musical path often started by recording sounds from my travels around the world and blending them with synthesizers and my voice. I found my unique sound this way, and I’m excited to help you find yours. (And don’t worry, we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to find it. I’ll show you how to transform the sounds you already have into something extraordinary.) Whether you are just beginning your musical journey or looking to refine and deepen your craft, I look forward to working with you and helping you grow through structured, creative, and personalised electronic music education.

    Jazz, Classical, and Pop Piano, Voice, Composition
    I am a professional jazz pianist, singer, and composer, performing over 200 events per year. I studied in North Carolina, Los Angeles, and the UK. I teach all of the above at any level, and would be happy to discuss scheduling lessons with you. With teens and adults, I take a different approach and try to get the student to be able to play a simple song or piece after the first lesson. I also teach theory with each piece learned so that it is a natural part of the learning process. It’s very important for me that my students enjoy every lesson and have a bit of fun while they learn. If this sounds like a good fit, I look forward to hearing from you! I teach online exclusively, so location is not an issue. Additional information 25 years+ experience teaching piano in private lessons and in professional settings. My music is available on all streaming platforms, as well as on my personal website. I have a bachelors and masters degrees in music composition, and studied voice in piano for many years, as well.

    Let's talk about music! Musical language, harmony, composition, various analyses, music in its sociocultural context or commented readings
    Hello! I've been teaching nonstop for over 10 years, and I'd love to tell you what a class with me offers: 100% personalized approach: The first step is to define your goals. Learning for pleasure? Preparing for entrance exams? Or taking the professional leap? I'll adapt the methodology, curriculum, and even the repertoire to your goals. Dynamic environment (without losing rigor): Relaxed but demanding classes, where practical methods (and my irremediable sense of humor) prevail. Hearing + Musicality + Analysis: We'll work on listening, understanding, and analyzing your musical references. The goal: for you to make artistic decisions with confidence and feel music as your own. No stylistic biases: For me, all music is valid. We'll explore everything from classical to electronic, using each style to work on key aspects: melody, harmony, production... We'll even explore genres you're unfamiliar with together! Important! I balance classes with concerts and projects. Although you're my priority, I appreciate the occasional flexibility to reschedule (only when strictly necessary). If you like this approach, write to me! Learning music is an exciting journey, and I'd love to be your guide.

    Music Lessons / Piano Lessons / Music Theory in Erpe-Mere (Burst)
    I have been giving private music lessons and fortepiano for a long time. In addition to my classical music education in 2000, I obtained my bachelor's degree in psychopedagogy in 2006. This year I am interested in expanding my practice to include more students with special needs. I learned about the different ways music can help students with special needs. It helps them express their emotions and develop their memories and self-regulatory skills. It can show them strengths that they might not otherwise find during their school day. It can also open their eyes to a whole world of expression and beauty, enriching their lives. I find out what works for a particular student, what distracts them, what motivates them, what helps them focus and sometimes just learn how to relate to them. As a music teacher I enjoy working with the special needs students with autism and visual impairment
