Creative Academy
Piano lessons for children and adults, from the very first note to conservatory level. Our teachers trained at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and still perform. No pressure, real progress — and a teacher who fits you.
For whom
From about six. Playing comes first, but the foundations are serious: posture, sound, listening. Parents read what happened after every lesson.
Exams, auditions, or simply your own music. We build technique without taking the fun out of it.
Beginner, or starting again after years. Evening lessons, at your own pace, with music you actually want to play.
How it works
You tell us who you are, we suggest a teacher, and then you have a fixed moment in the week. That is it.
How it works
Two minutes, a few questions. For yourself or for your child.
You'll hear from us within two working days, with a teacher who fits and a proposal for a trial lesson.
A fixed moment in the week. What's on the music stand, you decide together with your teacher.
What you get
Your teacher belongs to themselves: their own students, their own price. The house charges a fixed room fee, not a cut of your lesson.
Lessons in our rooms, on a grand or a good upright. Instruments you actually want to sit down at.
Theory, harmony, ear training and sight-reading come along in the lesson — without it turning into school.
What we did, which piece, what the homework is: two minutes, straight into your timeline. Parents read along; the teacher picks up exactly where you left off.
Living-room concerts and open practice hours. Small, warm, no stage fright.
Every teacher sets their own price. You hear it before the trial lesson. Lessons for under-21s are VAT-free.
The teachers
We start small, with teachers we know inside out. You will meet the rest of the community once you are in.
