Piano Lessons - All Levels - Classical, Pop, Improvisation and Composition

Àpd 52 € /h

Start the new course learning to play piano!

I am a professional classical pianist, accompanist, creator, and composer with a Bachelor's Degree from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and a Master's Degree from the Royal Conservatorium in the Hague. For 7 years now, I have been teaching students of all levels between 5 and 60 years old.

Lessons are based on your level, interests, and goals. Together we can find out if you are keener on classical repertoire, or if you want to play your favorite pop music, some beautiful soundtrack from a movie you like or compose/improvise new pieces. With my experience in teaching diverse genres, I will help you explore the music that you like.

The central pillars I always work with are technique and creativity, which are much more connected than you would expect! While we advance, I also introduce the basics (or more deeply, if you are interested) of music theory to learn to communicate with each other in musical terms (chords, keys, score reading, etc.). And above all, the goal is to enjoy and have fun!

Présentation

Teaching is fundamental to my professional career. I have given piano lessons for 5 years and I see it as the means to bring my experience with music directly to students. Therefore, my main goal as a teacher is to make this experience enjoyable, enriching and challenging.

My experience includes teaching mainly adults and children, but I have also taught teenagers. Due to this, I have confidence in my abilities to teach beginners, amateurs, and students who need support for music school. For children, I strongly believe that parents have to be present in the learning process in order to keep track of what is being worked during lessons. This means that I also inform them regularly about their child’s progress. I am patient and understanding and always want fluid communication between students and me.

I take influence from different methods and books for beginners (Bastien, Faber, Agay, Alfred, and Hal Leonard), and a broad source of repertoire for amateurs, from classical to contemporary or pop music. I also compose small pieces that can help the student to work on some technical or musical aspects. When required, I also take time and initiative outside of lessons to provide students with the support they need to achieve their musical goals. For example, I have made brief tutorial videos for students, which have been very helpful for practicing during the week.

Apart from teaching, I have a strong professional career as a performer. My repertoire consists of solo piano and chamber music, and I am also a capable accompanist, singer, and composer. In addition to that, I am currently exploring interdisciplinary performances. Together with my Quinteto del Diablo, an ensemble featuring Argentinian new-tango music and my own compositions, we have been presenting a collaboration with dancer Rosanna Her Steege in a performance called “The Devil on the Dance Floor”.

As I am a flexible musician, I am a flexible teacher, so do not hesitate to contact me for lessons for you or your child/ren.

I'll help you improve your level with some practical exercices and guide you to master the piano pieces of your choice according to your level. I did 8 years of piano and 6 years of music theory in a french conservatory and I've been playing in my spare time since then. I'm looking forward to share my passion and skills with anyone!

I started playing the piano when I was 8 years old. By that time I already could feel I would become a professional musician and teacher. I got my first bachelor in piano in 2007. When I was 13 years old, I started having harpsichord lessons and expanding my knowledge of classical and early music. In 2012 I got my bachelor degree in harpsichord and in 2014 my master degree at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague. Currently, I’m working with my ensemble, teaching piano and harpsichord, and am now doing my Ph.D. in Performative Arts at Leiden University

I absolutely love to teach and pass my experience as a musician to my students on both instruments. I like to see them improving and have fun while playing.
I work with several ways of teaching, depending on the student level and music background.

Normally I work with piano methods with kids from 9 -12 years old. I can teach music theory if necessary and if it will improve the student’s needs to progress and reach their goals, I do that with pleasure. Harmony and a bit of keyboard improvisation are also very welcome to the class.

My specialty is classical music, more specifically, baroque music, although I have notions of pop, jazz, and improvisation. Because I have sporting and personal training backgrounds, I’m specialized also on correcting postures and eventually avoid or solve pain issues when regarding playing.

Have you always dreamt of recording your own song? Do you want to take your musical ideas to the next level?

Regardless if you've never recorded your own music or if you've already experimented with Digital Audio Workstations (DAW), this course will teach you the basics of music composition and production. We will use both basic music theory and music production tricks to come up with and create your first song(s). From brainstorming song ideas on the piano or guitar, recording vocals and percussion or adding drums in the DAW, you will have complete freedom over your creativity.

Main skills taught: basics of DAWs, recording and mixing instruments and vocals, using and manipulating samples, creating drum beats and chord progressions, music theory, expressing and communicating musical ideas, complementary knowledge about music history.

Let's turn your creative ideas into reality!

Piano is surely amongst the most interesting instrument in the world for a simple reason: compared to the other instruments that are usually limited to one voice, piano uses the ten fingers at the same time, giving hundreds of possibilities of different voicings and harmony.

I am a French student studying in the Hague. My passion has always been piano. I did 9 years in a French music academy where I finished the entire curriculum. I have been teaching piano to 4 students the two last years in London and I am willing to continue transmitting my passion now that I am in the Hague.

I teach piano to people of all age, without omitting to mention a little bit of music theory so that students get a clear understanding of the instrument they are playing. All this in a fun way! For example, understanding and analyzing how modern tubes and hit songs are made is a fun way to learn music without necessarily using a more conventional method. My students can play whatever music they want, from classical pieces, to jazz themes, all the way to modern tic-toc songs, I always let them play what they want. The most important is to enjoy, this is the really key to progress.

Dear reader,

The lesson will be tailored-made depending on your needs and interests. My curiosity and knowledge are versatile and broad. Here is an example of subjects we could touch upon together:
- Experimental music composition with an emphasis on electronic music (fixed media composition, live set, multichannel composition), composition mixing instrumental and electronics, algorithmic music
- Music programming (SuperCollider)
- Experimental music history + specific care of being as inclusive and diverse as possible
- Listening sessions
- Creating bridges between classical and experimental music
- Notation: looking at different scores or ways of writing music than the more traditional ones
- Sound synthesis techniques, spectral analysis of sounds and general understanding of timbre
- Music theory with a specific emphasis on harmony and so-called rational tuning systems
- Basics of recording, mixing, editing, and processing sounds (Live Ableton)
- Music research — for instance, if you have to handle written music assignments or carry on specific music research projects
- Coaching & methodology to enable you to carry your music project from A to Z
- Sharing experiences in the music field and offering guidance and motivational support

I am especially interested in working with female and non-binary students who I believe still need extra support in this field but am generally open to all kinds of people, ages and backgrounds!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Whether you are just putting ideas together for a demo or producing a song from start to finish, Ableton Live is an amazing tool that lets you do more with your ideas. Developing electronic music production skills has become a real advantage for musician in any genre of music.

The lessons can include technical topics - mastering the tools, different approaches to composing and arranging as well as mixing. The lessons are tailor made to fit your level and goals.

Hi! I’m Sara from Italy, and since I was young, music has been a constant companion in my life. I’ve always seen it as a powerful form of self-expression and a way to connect with yourself and others. Throughout my piano and clarinet education, I’ve encountered many inspiring teachers and classmates, as well as some challenging moments. Becoming a teacher reflects my wish to share my passion for these instruments. I love helping people discover the joy of music, and I adapt every lesson to make learning effective, fun, creative, and meaningful.

In my classes, you will find a creative and supportive environment where your individual skills, goals, and musical preferences come first. Taking the time to understand these elements helps me tailor lessons in a creative and effective way, making sure the material and repertoire suit what you enjoy and want to achieve.

I create a positive and encouraging atmosphere where students feel comfortable and motivated to explore music at their own pace. Gentle and clear communication is very important to me, so we stay connected and work together to support progress.

Whether you’re starting out, looking to improve, or aiming for exams, my lessons are designed to be flexible, engaging, and focused on what matters most to you! :)

I specialize in teaching piano and music when I was at conservatory where I studied for over 20 years. With 14 years of experience I found my own methods to make my students learn in a comfortable and creative environment. As a teacher who enjoys learning from student while teaching, I know how important this is to improve when growing up. As soon as my students feel safe and happy I let them putting their own ideas in their development. I have a lot of experience in teaching from a young age (4-5) to grown adults but I am very good with kids and I like working with younger ages a lot!
