ENGLISH BELOW

Hallo, ik ben Tal uit Zuid-Afrika en ik geef trompetles.

Ik begon met trompet spelen toen ik 14 was. Later studeerde ik muziek aan de universiteit, met jazz als hoofdvak. Daar leerde ik meer over techniek, muziektheorie en improvisatie. Na mijn studie begon ik mijn eigen band en maakte ik eigen muziek.

Ik geef les aan kinderen en volwassenen, van beginners tot meer gevorderde leerlingen. Ik werk ook op een basisschool, dus ik heb veel ervaring met jonge kinderen. Daarnaast geef ik pianoles voor beginners.

De lessen kunnen in het Engels of Nederlands worden gegeven. Mijn Nederlands is ongeveer B1 niveau en ik ben nog aan het leren. Ik probeer de lessen duidelijk, rustig en leuk te maken, op jouw eigen tempo.

Hi, I’m Tal, a trumpet teacher originally from South Africa.

I started playing trumpet at 14, and it quickly became a serious passion. I went on to study music at university, majoring in jazz performance, where I developed skills in technique, music theory, ensemble playing, and improvisation. I chose jazz because it’s creative and helps you really listen, improvise, and find your own sound.

After graduating, I started my own band and released original music. I now teach students of all ages and levels, and I also teach trumpet at a primary school, so I have a lot of experience working with young beginners.

I offer trumpet lessons for both children and adults, whether you’re just starting out or coming back to music. I also teach beginner piano, which is a great way to build a strong foundation and understand how music works.

Lessons can be in English or Dutch (I’m currently at B1 level and improving). I keep lessons relaxed, clear, and adapted to your pace so you can enjoy learning and make steady progress.

Trumpet lessons focused on building solid technique, learning your favorite melodies, and getting into improvisation. We’ll work on the fundamentals like breathing, control, and flexibility, while also making time for music you enjoy. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, lessons are tailored to your level and goals so you can keep improving in a way that feels natural.

I offer beginner piano lessons for anyone who wants a clear and enjoyable start in music. We go step by step—learning to read notes, play simple songs, understand rhythm, and get comfortable using both hands together. I keep things straightforward and relaxed so you can build confidence from the beginning. Lessons are adapted to your pace, whether you’re learning for fun or looking to build a solid foundation.
