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.

About Me

Daniel is a recorder and flute player with a passion for both early and contemporary music. “An exciting and versatile young recorder player, committed to pushing the boundaries of his instrument” (Erik Bosgraaf, 2021), Daniel is pursuing his own musical voice in myriad fields from renaissance consort music to contemporary music theatre productions. Daniel has just graduated from his Masters in recorder at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam for which he was awarded a scholarship from The Countess of Munster Musical Trust. Previously, he graduated from the Royal College of Music London with a First-Class Joint Honours Bachelor’s degree in Flute and Recorder.

Since 2019 Daniel has been a member of The Royal Wind Music, performing concerts across Europe and making appearances on Dutch and German TV and Radio. The group is a recorder double quintet and performs exciting new programs of renaissance music, completely from memory. Their latest programme is a celebration of the Dutch composer J. P. Sweelinck and will be premiered in October 2021. As a soloist, Daniel has researched and presented his own unique programs at the Open Recorder Days Amsterdam Fringe and in the Amsterdam concert series Les Goûts Réunis. He has also been selected as a finalist for the Moeck/SRP Recorder Competition, which will take place in November 2021.

In February 2020 together with Emily Bannister, Anastasia Terranova and Verena Barie, Daniel won Amsterdam’s Grachten Festival prize in the cross-over category for their music theatre performance that fused renaissance and electronic music, The Eternal Feminine. The performances are taking place in the fall of 2021 and are funded by the Amsterdam Fonds voor de Kunst. Daniel’s playing is also featured in the recently released blockbuster film, The Green Knight, by director David Lowery. With his recorder quintet Five Spice, Daniel has performed in the Utrecht Early Music Fringe, Leipzig International Chamber Music Academy and the Uitmarkt Festival in Amsterdam as well as a tour in Denmark and Austria. Daniel has participated in recorder masterclasses with Pierre Hamon, Maurice Steger, Michael Form, Dorothee Oberlinger, Walter van Hauwe, and Paul Leenhouts.

Flute lessons for all ages & levels!
Hi there! Have you always wanted to learn the flute or do you feel like picking up this beautiful instrument again after a break? As a teacher with more than 6 years of experience, I offer private lessons for all ages and all levels. I learned my teaching skills from famous flute teachers of our time. I have experience teaching both children and adults and I think it is essential that we both have fun while learning something as wonderful as playing music! Lessons are adapted to your needs and we will develop your musicality and technical skills together. In addition to Classical music, we can also work on other music styles if necessary. For example, I am familiar with Brazilian folk music, Baroque music, Modern Music and Jazz. It is also possible to request academic support with the instrument, music theory or history. Lessons can be given in English and Dutch. If you don't have an instrument of your own yet, I can give some suggestions on where and how to find/rent one - don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested. I hope to hear from you soon! Iara

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.

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!

Flute lessons (transverse flute, transverse flute, recorder) for all levels from a university graduate and internationally active artist.
Hello dear flute fans, modern and historical :-) For me, music is not just sound, but also expression, connection, and a lifelong learning process. Teaching is fulfilling because I get to witness how music opens doors, builds self-confidence, and unleashes creativity. Every student has their own story, their own pace, and individual goals – this makes the lessons lively and unique. I give my best, am patient, curious, and always open to my students. It is simply a gift to be part of this journey and to discover the language of music together with my students. I teach modern flute, transverse flute, and recorder.

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.
