Konstantinos Andreou Flute Lessons in Amsterdam

Flute Lessons Amsterdam - All Levels

Hi! My name is Konstantinos Andreou. I am a professional flautist and dedicated flute teacher in Amsterdam. Music plays a leading role in my life and fills my existence with beauty and passion! I'd love to share that with you! I give flute lessons to both beginners as well as advanced.

Classical to Pop Flute Music

Want to play classical flute music, baroque, jazz, popsongs or modern avant garde? Let's get started! I have the background to help guide you through whatever music journey you wish to go on.

Never too old!

The flute is a wonderful instrument to start playing as a child, but it is also a great instrument to learn to play as an adult. And the great thing is that you can continue with it well into old age.

Flute Lessons for Children

Playing a musical instrument builds confidence, makes children smarter and contributes to a better cognitive, emotional and motor development. My flute lessons for kids offer a playful teaching method and fun in music comes first. In a relaxed atmosphere your child learns to read sheet music and we play duets.

Beginners - All Ages

Good posture, breathing technique and a correct embouchure are the first steps to creating a beautiful sound on the flute. Along the way you'll learn to read music and basic music theory. We start each lesson with some warming up exercises before learning new songs. Because this always brings the most satisfaction!

Advanced - What can you expect?

A typical lesson may consist of playing scales, etudes and repertoire. Incorporating the development of embouchure and breathing technique. I have extensive experience as a performing musician and I am happy to help you with solo repertoire in various styles and of course orchestral and chamber music parts.

Flute Duets

During the lessons we will play flute duets in various genres. A perfect way to incorporate and applicate your technical and musical skills, insights in style and historical context. Fun in music is paramount! The coolest thing there is!

Trial Lesson

In the trial lesson we'll chat about your favourite music, the frequency of the lessons and the lesson packs. I'm curious to hear you play and meanwhile you'll get an impression of my teaching style.

Lesson Location

I give the flute lessons at my private flute studio in the center of Amsterdam, right behind the Rijksmuseum, at the metro stop Vijzelgracht. In front of my door. A metro stops there every 5 minutes.

Lessons at Your Home

If preferred I can come to you.  With a Lesson Pack of 5 or 10 flute lessons you'll have maximum flexibility.

Online Flute Classes

I also offer fun, comprehensive and well structured online courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. Book a trial lesson.

I really enjoy learning from Konstantinos

Being a beginning flute student as an adult can be challenging for a number of reasons. From the complexity of finding time to practice to the insecurity that the vulnerable position of a beginner puts you in. But learning from Konstantinos made me overcome all these fears. His positive and encouraging attitude dispelled my fear of making mistakes. Its flexibility allowed me to fit this activity into my routine. And, of course, he has a welcoming and caring attitude and an easy-to-understand methodology. I really enjoy learning from him. -

Corona Proof Fluitlessen!

Na een pauze van 20 jaar wilde ik opnieuw dwarsfluit gaan spelen en dankzij Konstantinos had ik weer snel de smaak te pakken. Niet alleen is hij een fantastische fluitist, hij heeft ook uitstekende didactische vaardigheden. Hij slaagt erin om de juiste balans te vinden tussen het aanmoedigen om een hoger niveau te bereiken en het creeren van een relaxte sfeer waarin het plezier in spelen vooropstaat. Ook is het een geruststelling dat hij zeer zorgvuldig omgaat met de coronarestricties. Tijdens de lockdown hadden we lessen via skype, en hij heeft nu de ruimte waar hij lesgeeft zo aangepast dat we altijd ruim 1,5 meter afstand kunnen houden. Bovendien lucht hij deze kamer voor en na de les. Het voelt heel veilig om daar te spelen.

Top Level Flute Teacher!

It has been slightly more than 1 year since I started studying with Konstantinos and the progress I have made so far is amazing as a person without any significant musical background! His knowledge is inarguably top level, he has the ability to teach you the proper way of playing flute and the best thing is that you can easily see his ambition and excitement during the classes when he teaches (as if he was the one to learn to play beautiful melodies instead of you). The location of his studio is also very convenient so you can easily reach there and go back to your place. Strongly recommended in all aspects!

A joy to play!

After a pause of 20 years, I started playing the flute again. Konstantinos helped me to quickly get back on track. He is not only a wonderful flutist, but also has strong didactical skills. He manages to find the right balance between pushing you to achieve a higher level and creating a relaxed atmosphere in which is a joy to play. It is also reassuring that he is very thoughtful about the corona measures. During the lockdown, we had lessons via skype, and he has now adapted the space where he teaches so that we can largely keep the 1.5m distance at all times. Besides that, he airs this area right before and after the lesson, so it feels really safe to be there.

Konstantinos is an inspiring flute teacher!

I feel so lucky to have Konstantinos as a flute teacher - He is extremely knowledgeable, detailed, inspiring, and fun! My flute playing has improved a lot in a short amount of time while taking lessons with him, which is very satisfying.
