MY MISSION STATEMENT:

“Create meaning through music.”

Music is in my opinion one of the highest art forms that exist. Whether you prefer a pop song or a complicated classical piece, it gives meaning to our lives. But listening to music is something different than playing music yourself.

This takes time, will, and a lot of practice. Some people can get very far by teaching themselves through the internet, and that is great. However, some people want that personal coaching; someone that can get them faster to where they want to go.

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 11 years old and at 23 years old in 2018, I got my bachelor’s degree in music at the Conservatory of Haarlem (the Netherlands). Ever since I was 15 years old I’ve been playing in all kinds of bands, and music has been one of the most important things in my life.

Discovering music is one of the most beautiful and meaningful things in life, and my mission is to pass this on to my students. It doesn’t matter what age you have. It’s never too late to discover the music that’s inside of you!

Like with all art forms: it's usually a very long process with lots of ups and downs.
You; my followers; my audience are also mainly only hearing the end result of this long process most of the time.
And that's how it usually goes with art and that is fine.
However, that can sometimes be a little frustrating for small artists like me, because it can look/feel like there's not much happening in between great releases.

How to tune your ukulele

Buy yourself a tuner, download a tuning app, or sit next to a piano if you want to do it by ear, and start with the G string. If you want to go up in tuning, you need to turn the tuning key away from you and turn it towards you if you want to go down. Do this with all 4 strings and your ukulele will be in tune!
