Who are my piano students?
My piano students are busy people in The Hague who enjoy continuing to learn. Most of them started from scratch.
They often work for the government, in tech, or for international companies. Some come from abroad.
After a busy day at work, they want something creative, fun, and exciting, but not too difficult.
With our piano lessons, you can find yourself and see yourself improving, step by step.

You can create your own music at the piano, even if your theory knowledge is limited.

Get instant feedback and creative tools so you see (and hear!) results quickly.
Your piano teacher
My name is Luca Ridolfo, and I am a piano teacher at Studio MusicalMente. During my studies, I took jazz and classical piano lessons with teachers from all over the world. I love to pass on the inspiration I received from them and my passion for music to my students. I used my teaching experience in Italy and Spain to develop a structured method that helps beginners learn to play songs from day one at their own pace and level.

Students about the piano lessons
Friendly and patient approach
I recently began my piano lessons with Luca, and it has been an absolute delight. I play guitar and drums and occasionally piano, I decided to more seriously venture into piano playing, and Luca has been an incredible guide on this musical journey. With a friendly and patient approach, Luca has helped me shed old habits, while making the experience enjoyable. I highly recommend starting lessons with him.
Flexible teaching method
"Thanks Luca. Inspiring lesson that motivates me to want to be a piano player. The flexibility on the teaching method, adapting it to the student’s needs is a big factor for success."
Explanation behind exercises
“It was a nice and informative lesson. I got to know the piano from another side. Luca is a teacher that knows a lot and can explain well why we do certain excercises. He also makes the lessons fun and he has the most creative metaphors I ever heard. Cool lesson!”
Focus on technical proficiency
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying private classes with Luca. He has a strong focus on technical proficiency and a great eye for detail. He teaches with passion, and I’m very happy with his ideas on how one should learn to play the piano step by step, as it helps a complete beginner (such as myself) from feeling overwhelmed. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher!
Frequently Asked Questions
"I'm not creative—can I really learn to improvise/compose?"
Most students walk in saying this. But here’s the secret: creativity isn’t about pulling ideas from thin air—it’s about learning simple patterns and tweaking them. We’ll start with basic building blocks (like how to vary a melody or rearrange chords) so you always have somewhere to begin.
"I don’t know enough music theory—will this be too advanced?"
Zero theory needed. I give you plug-and-play templates—like rolling dice to randomly pick chords, then arranging them into a song structure that always works.
“I had strict classical training—won’t ‘playing freely’ ruin my technique?”
Your classical training is actually your greatest asset—we’ll use that precision as a foundation, then build on it with skills like improvising in ways that enhance your technique, not undo it. One concert-trained student told me this approach ‘finally made music feel alive’ after years of rigidity.
“What are the costs and commitment involved?”
We offer different package options to suit various needs. We'll go over all the details regarding lesson fees, term lengths, and our policies during your free intro call, so you have a clear understanding before making any decisions.
