Gitaar? Leuk!
Hi, my name is Adam, and I love the guitar! It is such a cool instrument, and it is something anybody can learn how to play with the right guidance.
A little about me…
I started on the air guitar rocking out in front of the mirror as a kid and never looked back. I received my BA in jazz from Leeds College of Music in 2013 and graduated with an MA in jazz from Codarts, Rotterdam, in 2017. I perform internationally, and I have won several awards as a guitarist, most notably the Eric Kershaw Prize (2013) and the Jimmy Woode Award (2014). As well as performing and composing, I have been teaching for nearly 10 years now.
Ik kan ook lessen in het Nederlands geven, als je mijn Engelse accent niet erg vindt 😉
Inspiration!
There is nothing quite like learning a musical instrument, and I love helping guitar lovers of all ages achieve their goals! Whether you want to accompany yourself singing, play a face-melting solo in a rock band, learn how to play the jazz classics, or just have fun, it is all possible through our lessons. The guitar is such a versatile instrument, and we can explore the magic of it together.
