Hi,

I'm Martine. As a child I really enjoyed solfège - as the only one in the class, I think :) -. Later, harmony aroused my interest. Some people think it is a necessary evil, it makes me warm, and especially then: talk about it. Music is first and foremost a feeling, but a basic knowledge of music theory can help you so much!
--->

- 🎹 Do you have trouble reading sheet music?
- Do you often get stuck while practicing because you don't know your notes and rhythms enough?
- Is that knowledge of music theory really far away?
- Don't have time for weekly solfège lessons at the music academy?
- Need a little help deciphering a score?
- Or do you want to prepare for the new school year?

- Do you want to learn chords?
- Train your hearing?
- Accompany yourself on piano while you sing like crazy?
- Would you like to write your own music, but don't know where to start?
- Or do you want to learn to improvise but have no knowledge of harmony?

- Are you unsure about playing together?
- Do you lack self-confidence and freedom as a self-taught or starting musician?
- Do you feel limited in your creativity because you lack a theoretical basis?

I am happy to help you with:

- ✅ Practical note recognition exercises: Short, effective sessions that improve your reading skills.
- ✅ Basic understanding of chords: Understand how chords work and how to use them in improvisation.
- ✅ Clear explanation of basic harmony: Understand the structure of music and learn to create your own compositions with confidence.
- ✅ Techniques for improvisation: Develop methods to spontaneously create melodies and solos.
- ✅ Personal guidance, and useful tips for rapid progress: Customized lessons that match your pace and learning style.

Experience:
I graduated from Studio Herman Teirlinck (Master Kleinkunst), and then studied piano at the Antwerp Jazz Studio. I also attended workshops with Jef Neve, Kenny Werner, Bram Vermeulen, Amina Figarova, among others... In addition to fifteen years of private piano lessons (children & adults), I supervise songwriting workshops for adults & young people (Summer Academy, Zennetour finalists...) and gave I have been teaching piano for many years at the youth music school of the Halewijnstichting (Berchem).
My friends think I'm a creative jack-of-all-trades. I like to do many things: making music, writing songs, making theater, composing music & soundscapes for theater, playing piano in different bands, writing, drawing, illustrating, singing... Many styles also appeal to me in the field of music: Classical, jazz, chansons, pop, ...

🎼 Ready to improve your skills?
Stop putting your artistic talent second and come to me for personal guidance!

For whom?
All ages from 6 years, beginners & intermediate level.
(Solfège knowledge is allowed, but certainly not necessary.)
We use the piano as a basic instrument. A keyboard at home is useful, but not a must.

When?
By appointment according to availability.
You can choose one lesson, a few lessons, or a short intensive course.

Where?
In Antwerp (Kiel), near the Singel, Tentoonstellingswijk...

Send me a message if you need any more information!
I look forward to welcoming you here.

musical regards,
Martine

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

How do I learn to play the piano as quickly as possible?
A question that I am asked every day. The answer is simple:

- Find a fantastic piano mentor
- Practice regularly - not for long, but efficiently
- Playing the piano is auditory, but also visual
- Note learning lessons are unnecessary in this digital age - use the right apps

My piano lesson focuses on:

- Finger Flexibility / Keyboard Insight / Understanding Harmony
- 50% technique - 50% fun (although technique practice can also be fun!)

Pianistic greetings!

I have taught piano for 4 years and I see it as the means to bring my experience with music directly to students. Therefore, my primary goal as a teacher is to make this experience enjoyable, enriching, and challenging.

My lessons are organized depending on the level, needs, and objectives of the student. We can work on classic repertoire, pop, and movie soundtracks, or improvise. I love to share my passion for music with my students.

In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard.
Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano.

At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable?
We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now.

During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

If you are interested in learning how to play piano, you’re in the right place! I would love to work with you and help you get to know the piano and music generally. I love passing on my knowledge and taking my time with students.
The piano lessons would always include a little bit of theory that comes with the piano pieces we would do in the lessons. I can also give an extra theory lesson if needed.
Looking forward to working with you!

The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student.
It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect.

Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation.
Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best.

As a teacher I am familiar with different styles, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music.
There is also the option to work from improvisations.

The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

Nice to meet you :D

My name is Melvin, and I'm a pianist/composer and music theorist who loves to guide people with a passion for music! In my lessons, I teach three different subjects in which I specialize and perhaps can help you improve your skills as a musician.

If you want to play the piano intuitively, without thinking about it, or interpret scores, then Piano + Improvisation is the course for you! Together, we'll break through the boundaries of traditional sheet music and teach you to unleash your inner musicality. Whether you're a beginning pianist longing to improvise simple melodies or an experienced player looking to explore new expressive paths, I'll inspire and encourage you to broaden your musical horizons.

Have you always wanted to write your own music, but don't know how to get started? Then together we'll push your creative boundaries and help you develop your own musical masterpieces. Whether you're a budding composer taking your first steps or an experienced musician looking for new inspiration, I'm here to guide and inspire you on your unique composition journey.

Need some theory because you don't understand certain elements of music? No worries! Step by step, we'll explore the fundamentals of music theory together, delving into notes, chords, rhythm, and structure. You'll discover how all these elements work together to create masterpieces, or to better understand scores as a musician.


I'm looking forward to meeting you :D

I offer personalized lessons in piano, percussion, and music theory for students of all ages and levels. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of rhythm, melody, and notation, while more advanced students can focus on technique, performance, and interpretation. I emphasize both technical precision and musical expression, helping students become confident performers and thoughtful musicians. For percussion, I cover rhythm training, ensemble playing, and instrument technique; for piano, we explore scales, chords, and repertoire; for theory, I provide a strong foundation in harmony, reading, and analysis.

Whether you are preparing for an exam, learning for fun, or aiming for professional development, I will help you grow as a musician step by step.

Have you heard about the mother tongue method?
Children learn to speak their language through listening, imitation, and constant, loving encouragement. Why should we do things differently with music?

Together, we'll discover the piano in a natural and playful way. By listening, repeating, and growing step by step, we'll build a strong musical foundation. All of this in a loving environment with plenty of attention to creativity and artistic sensitivity.

As a parent, you actively participate in the lesson. After all, you become your little pianist's coach for the rest of the week!
