Music and guitar lessons:

Music education is for everyone! I teach grownups, youngsters and kids from 6 years on.
I’ve been teaching the guitar for more than 30 years at music schools and privately.

–UPDATE 2025: currently, there is no more space for new private students

Styles

• Jazz and improvisation
• Classical guitar, acoustic and electrical guitars (beginner to conservatory level)
• Classical music
• Pop and Rock music

 

Skills

• Guitar techniques: strumming and picking chords, using tirando and apoyando strokes, and learning how to play legato melodies
• Notes & rhythm: because being able to read music comes in handy
• Improvisation: Improvising over chord progressions is a lot of fun
• Ear training: developing an intuitive understanding of what you hear
• Music theory: harmonics and the art of voice-leading, analyse and arrange scores

 

Language
I teach in Dutch, English or German.
