The teachers

The teachers at DJAM are carefully selected for their expertise, dedication, and passion for teaching. All of them have a strong academic background (typically conservatory-trained) and bring extensive experience as educators.

In addition to teaching, they are active performers in the Dutch and European music scenes. Many have released their own albums and perform regularly, both in the Netherlands and abroad.

At DJAM, teachers work closely together. This strong collaboration ensures that the various subjects within the curriculum are well-aligned and form a cohesive, integrated learning experience.
