I teach piano and music theory lessons in English and in Dutch.

My lessons are tailored to what fascinates you in music. In the first few lessons we will focus on foundations of music theory and technique, so that soon you will be ready to learn songs of your choice and analyse these from a music theory standpoint. You will also learn how to apply music theory concepts creatively in composition and improvisation.

Lessons are open to beginner and intermediate musicians of all ages at €25 per 45 minutes. Lessons at home are possible if you live in Utrecht. I also teach online lessons.
Not sure about committing just yet? No big deal – the first lesson is free, no strings attached!

“Lennard is a very good teacher. I started without any knowledge of piano or music theory, and after just a few lessons I feel more and more comfortable playing. Lennard has clear slides that you can use for reference after class, with good homework exercises to work on in your own time … I was hesitant about learning to play the piano but thanks to these lessons I am very glad to have started. It’s clear that Lennard has a passion for music that he wants to share with everyone.”
