Konstantinos Andreou Flute Lessons in Amsterdam

Magic Flute for all!

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!

All Ages - Beginner to Advanced

My flute lessons are for both beginners as well as advanced. 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.

Trial Lesson

The trial lesson is a nice way to gey acquainted, to 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.

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. In a relaxed atmosphere your child learns to read sheet music and we 'll play easy duets from the start.

What can you expect?

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. Many wonderful melodies and songs are waiting to get discovered and played by you!

Advanced

A typical lesson may consist of warming up exercises, 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. The coolest thing there is! A perfect way to incorporate and applicate your technical and musical skills, insights in style and historical context.
