Michiel (1993) comes from Leersum, where he started as a trombonist with the band Eendracht Maakt Macht Leersum. He graduated from the Rotterdam Conservatory, where he studied with Ilja Reijngoud, Bert Boeren, Bart van Lier, Andy Hunter and classical lessons with Alexander Verbeek.Michiel played with various orchestras, including the National Youth Fanfare Orchestra with Danny Oosterman, Dutch Student Jazz Orchestra, Dutch Symphonic Wind Orchestra, Gallowstreet, Valvetronic Brassband, Jong Metropole, Zomerorkest Nederland (as guest soloist) and National Youth Jazz Orchestra.
He currently plays with the Hillsback Brass Band (co-founder) from Utrecht and the Utrecht Student Big Band. He also teaches at harmony De Vriendschap in Woerden, music school Kunstenhuis Idea De Bilt, De Biltse Harmonie, the Nijkerks Stedelijk Fanfare Corps, fanfare Erica Austerlitz, harmony Aurora Driebergen and fanfare Excelsior Cothen and Harmonie Manderen in Maarn in the instruments trumpet, flugelhorn, cornet, (bass) trombone, horn, euphonium and bass tuba.
Brass blowing music lessons with Michiel
During the first music lesson you are introduced to the musical instrument: How do you hold it? How do you make sound? How do you move the slider and press the valves? Once this foundation has been laid, we will work on the basics of brass blowing in a lesson book: Embouchure training, playing natural tones and playing the first songs.
The basics of brass blowing: What is embouchure?
The same principle applies to all brass instruments: You blow air, you purse your lips, causing them to vibrate and therefore create the so-called "buzz". Buzzing is the sound you make when your lips vibrate. You then do this buzzing on your mouthpiece and before you know it you can already buzz melodies, for example "Jingle Bells". Then you place the mouthpiece on your instrument and the buzz is amplified by the brass instrument. Training the lips and developing a nice buzz is also called training your embouchure.
Natural tones on a brass instrument
After a lot of practice you will get a nice sound and you can produce different tones with the valves or the slide. You can also produce higher and lower tones without moving the slide or valves. These tones are called natural tones: tones that you blow through the instrument in a fixed order as you go up and down. Practicing blowing these natural notes is called blowing lip bonds.
Playing the first songs and improvisation
When teaching beginning students, I often start by learning songs by ear. In the future I will work on developing a musical ear and rhythm, learning to read notes, learning to play together, technique and learning to improvise.
"The most important thing is that the student enjoys brass blowing. The focus of the lessons will therefore be on learning to master the instrument and learning to play together with other students."

The trumpet, learn to play it by making music from the first class.The trumpet: its correct technical execution and the interpretation of popular and academic universal repertoires, is available to everyone regardless of their age. We will build a logical sequence of studies that will help develop the technical aspects. And we will address repertoires according to the age and taste of the student. we will draw a path with short, medium and long term goals. we will build a technical routine and healthy habits to progress correctly. In addition, we will select musical pieces by mutual agreement to mature the technical development hand in hand with musical growth.
I am a professional trumpeter, I have participated in symphony orchestras, wind bands, big band, and small chamber and jazz ensembles. I have extensive experience teaching children, youth and adults.
For me it is very important to make music from the first lesson, because there must be a balance between technical practice and its application in small melodies or musical pieces. No matter the musical genre, we will always find a repertoire according to the level and interest of each student.
If you already know how to play and you need to perfect a piece or prepare a recital or audition, you can count on my experience and accompaniment as well.

How to be enduring on the trumpet and get tired as little as possible.

Teacher for Brass instruments and the Recorder (Trumpet, Bariton, Euphonium, Recorder)I offer professional Brass instruments (Bariton, Tenorhorn, Euphonium, Trombone, Trumpet, Tuba) lessons for children from the age of four, for teenagers and adults. Whether beginner or advanced, that doesn't matter to me. Every motivated student of trumpets is welcome with me. I see it as my job to promote the particular character of each student. Playing the trumpet is an art that is difficult to explain. To become a good Brass player, you need more than “just” to master your instrument. Practice is a basic requirement. Young Brass students, children in particular need the support and support of their parents in the learning process, but the joy in the practice lessons should not be left behind. The focus of my lessons is on conveying musical understanding, sound technology and music literature from classical to klezmer to jazz. Elements such as transpose, orchestral replacement and sight reading are also taken into account in the lessons. I accompany the students as they prepare for competitions and auditions. I am happy to support you in improving your stage presence. I offer one-on-one and two-on-one classes. I teach the pocket trumpet for children. Furthermore, cornet, B and C trumpet (American and German) as well the Bariton, Tenorhorn, Euphonium, Tuba and Trombone.

Armando
Trombone and Brass, Guitar, Piano, Theory, Improvising, Music LessonThis class is for beginner-intermediate-advanced musicians who aim to explore more about music and get better at their playing on their instrument.
This doesn't refer only to professional but includes amateur and passionated students interested about how to gain more music knowledge.
Music is one. there's no differences between its styles.
Learning it means learning about yourself, your strengths and weaknesses and the class will be self designed for the student starting from his/her desires.
moreover music will be researched eventually from its main topic such as improvisation, time feel, resonance and intonation for brass , harmonic knowledge and music theory.

Having finished the conservatory in music theory I can also give lessons in this subject.
