Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 5. Apr 2018
I was born in Utrecht, Nederland (Netherlands) and both my parents are half-Indonesian. My country is rather small which forces the people to speak other languages like German, French and of course English. Finished high school in a small town when I was 17 and left home to go to college in Amsterdam. I changed my major from fashion to music, my greater passion, with vocals (singing)as my main subject. I started playing in clubs bars and festivals with an international band. Russian, American , German, and Dutch. Later I found out there are less challenging ways of earning a living backstage and as a freelance festival organizer I did many projects.
Ich als Lehrkraft
During my time working as a professional musician, I was a singing teacher / vocal coach as well and helped many of my pupils gain confidence and focusing on joy in addition to technique. I personally think most people can do many things if they put the right mind to it and obtain the right mindset. It takes away barriers which can make learning things seem easy and fun.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
The pupil or student is in my opinion in the center of attention, because he or she is ultimately the 'one who has to do it' Inquiring after their interests meant they could bring their own songs which they knew well but after copying from the artist I invited them to do it their own way and explore inspiration, resulting in even more joy, rendering discipline obsolete.
I really appreciate the time and efforts you did for explaining words and expressions of Dutch, also I want to thank you for sharing some interesting links.
