Flute for Beginners!

The instrument so often described as bird-like, angelic and pure! And you can do it too! Learn the beautiful wind instrument with me - making a nice sound, discover supported breathing technique, build good finger technique and most importantly - play beautiful music! From scales to etudes to classical pieces, you can learn it all!

I studied classical flute for 13 years, played solo and in flute quartets and competed in contests. I had great teachers who inspired me to play classical music, as well as jazz and improvised music on the flute! Currently playing jazz flute and improvised music!

About Me

Hi! I'm Karlīna, a singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. I'm Latvian but based in Amsterdam.
Music is all my life, I've been singing since I was 2 and playing wind instruments since I'm 9 years old. I started studying jazz music when I was 16 and moved to Amsterdam in 2023 to pursue my education and career in music. Currently running my solo project and multiple bands in the Netherlands.
I want to share everything I've gained with you! I'd love to see everything you can bring to the table and work with your specific needs and wishes! I've always liked theory too so my passion for music is supported by theoretical explanations.

Education

2012-2019 Ventspils Music School, flute (children's music school)
2019-2023 Riga Cathedral Choir School, Jazz musician (Secondary Vocational Education)
2023-present Conservatorium van Amsterdam

Experience / Qualifications

Pop-singing, contests. Classical flute, wind ensembles. Jazz saxophone, big band. Playing in pop, jazz, indie projects (festivals, concerts, recording). Theatre. Choir (gospel, classical, jazz). Leading a jazz, indie band. Composing for voice, jazz ensembles, choir, big band. Masterclasses with great jazz performers.
Music is one of the art forms closest to speaking and communicating. For me singing is my greatest passion and a way to express myself like I could never with words. I want to share this passion with the world, guide you through the journey of discovering the endless possibilities of your voice and help you achieve your goals. We will learn both the technical and emotional sides of singing, discover vocal techniques, body awareness and learn from other legendary singers. Any genre and wishes are welcome! I myself specialise in jazz, indie and pop singing, songwriting and music theory and am studying at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
Music theory can be a very overwhelming thing, when there are so many different ways to explain a concept, a chord, a system, an song... I will help you lay down a steady foundation of music theory and ear-training, explain the complexities with personal approaches and help you navigate and analyse the music you love. I will use a basis of jazz theory which is also most used in pop-music. If you already play an instrument, this class will help you to deeper understand what you are playing and why it works musically. And any suggestions, wishes and dreams are welcome!
So many great songs in the world... only yours is missing! Songwriting is a beautiful craft, you can create music that is completely unique to you, your stories and imagination. A great quote from Jacob Collier:"when you are writing music, imagine music that you would like to exist, that you would like to listen to." I will help you to realise and figure out what it is you're hearing in your head, provide you with tools and tricks to use and help you arrive to a mindset which welcomes creative processes and make artistic decisions more easily. Both singer-songwriters and instrumental composers are welcome! I'm a songwriter and composer for a few years now, I've encountered many different phases and struggles and have learned to overcome them with techniques and with intuition.

Taras
Panflute/panpipes lesson for beginners to advanced players in and around Amsterdam and online
Hello everyone! I’m Taras a professional panflute player. I started playing the panflute when I was 5 years old. Ever since then I spent every day improving my skills and perfecting my craft. Throughout my career I had won numerous prices and was able to perform throughout Europe. I’m currently studying at the Conservatory van Amsterdam. I’m teaching private lessons as well as giving masterclasses at festivals. If you are interested in learning to play the panflute or improve your playing skills, I would love to help you along the way. With my years of experience and my wide ranging love of music from folk music to classical to contemporary I’m willing to broaden your musical horizon and bring you a wide range of technique to help you becoming the musician you want to be! I teach from beginners to advanced players. I will help you better understand the instrument and music in general as well as give you an understanding of music theory. My lessons will be tailored to your needs and aspirations for you to see the results you want.

Flute lessons for beginners to advanced, all ages are welcome!
Private lessons for beginners to advanced level of flute playing. All ages are welcome. I am a professionally trained teacher and flutist for almost two decades. My lessons are given in English, Spanish and (soon) Dutch. My teaching method is variable depending on the students' needs, but the goal is shared: to make a great musician and qualified flutist out of the pupil. I work on both technical and musical aspects from a healthy and enjoyable perspective. Particular emphasis on having fun with the little ones! I pay special attention to creating a personalized education and experience for every one of my students. I also give some additional tools applicable to the flute playing which includes: The Inner Game of Music, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique and Body & Mind. All the basic theory is taught too.

David
Saxophone, flute, clarinet and Alexander technique lessons
I've been teaching saxophone and flute for about 30 years. I studied in Paris and New York with some of the greatest saxophonists, including the great master Barry Harris. Over time, I've developed a pleasant and effective method. I also teach the Alexander Technique, a very effective tool for learning to play with minimal effort. I teach classes for all levels and styles, although I specialize in teaching jazz improvisation.

Daniel
Recorder, flute lessons, from medieval to contemporary music for all ages.
Hello! I am a professional recorder and flute player with a passion for both early and contemporary music, offering lessons on the recorder, flute, piano, and music theory in the Amsterdam area and online. I graduated with a Master's in recording at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam Cum Laude, with a scholarship from The Countess of Munster Musical Trust. Previously, I graduated from the Royal College of Music London with a First-Class Joint Honours Bachelor’s degree in Flute and Recorder. In 2021 I was a finalist for the Moeck/SRP recorder competition as part of the London Early Music Festival. I am an encouraging and dedicated teacher who believes that effective practice, rather than talent, is at the heart of any musical development. I share my expertise in how to practice well, varying your approach to make different connections rather than just repeating things - this also helps to keep practice interesting! I am also keen to help each student find their own voice and expression through music, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and goals. I have specialist knowledge of medieval, renaissance, and baroque music, and can help students to develop skills in historical performance and ornamentation/improvisation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Tatiana
Playing Flute (dwarsfluit) - Any age, any genre, starting now
My name is Tatiana and I am a flute player and an electronic musician. My passion for music first started when I was young and my parents showed me Brazilian folk music and I felt that I wanted to be able to play some of my favourite songs. I ended up in a classic conservatory and throughout my career I developed myself both as a classical and folk musician. I started to teach when I was 18 and for 6 years I taught in a project similar to the one of El Sistema in Venezuela. There I found how music can take such a social action on a community and develop the feeling of responsibility and friendship. In our lessons I would love tho share this feeling with you and enable you to develop the tools to share your passion with the world. This can come from playing a song, learning how to program or just by finding new ways on how to hear and experience music. This class is open to anyone from any age.

REED FLUTE, NEY, NAY LESSONS FOR ALL STUDENTS BY TURKISH TEACHER
Turkish reed flute is an essential instrument of Turkish Classcial Music. It has a deep and dense culture dating from 13. century around. If you want to learn about how to perform it you first need a teacher educated by masters on this field. As of many teachers you can find online but you make sure that not every tutor meets with traditional style. Solfege and method are inseperable parts of the lessons. So for beginners and intermediate students must follow a compotent tutor to learn about the way of classic form.

Laura
Flute and Music Theory tuition for students of all levels
I have played the flute for more than 20 years, and have been teaching since 2011. I offer flute lessons to children aged 8 and up, and adults at all levels from beginners to post Grade 8. I also teach recorder to younger beginners- I find this is a good stepping stone for younger children as it's more comfortable for smaller beginners to hold, and easier to make a sound on. Learn to pass exams or just for fun- many of my students achieve highly in ABRSM and Trinity grades, but some prefer not to take exams and this is fine too. Whatever your level, one to one tuition means that I can tailor my teaching to your needs as a flute player, and my teaching takes into account the reasons you learn an instrument, encompassing a wide variety of repertoire. I also teach music theory- lots of students come to me to help prepare for Grade 5 theory, and I also teach higher theory grades.
