Have you always wanted to make music without struggling with notes and sheet music? Are you looking for creativity and do you want to dream away on the music you play yourself? Then learn to improvise intuitively on the piano with me. You can start with this if you have no experience at all, but also if you already have musical experience on the piano or on another instrument. During these lessons you will learn step by step how to play improvisations with two hands and from there you can further develop your musical story.

I have been playing mandolin in various folk bands for many years and am happy to share my joy for this instrument with anyone who wants to learn it. This instrument is easier to understand than a guitar, and smaller to carry. It has a beautiful sound and you can play this instrument in many different styles. From classical to folk, from jazz to bluegrass. So much is possible! You indicate what music you like and I will help you on your way as a musician. With patience and attention, and passion for the music. If you like, I can help you with music theory and you can learn to read sheet music. I can also give you music lessons entirely by ear, because you can enjoy playing the mandolin even without theory and sheet music. The mandolin can also be an interesting instrument if you someday want to learn to play the violin. The reason for this is because the tuning of these instruments are the same. The advantage of the mandolin is that you have frets (similar to a guitar), which means you have to put less effort into playing in tune compared to the violin. If you later switch from the mandolin to the violin, you will understand the strings, and therefore where to find notes on your instrument, much better. Once you improve your violin technique, you can easily transfer all the songs you can play on the mandolin to the violin.
