I specalize in composing music for ensembles, soloists, and orchestra - with a Masters of Music Composition from the Koninklijke Conservatorum Antwerpen. My goal is to pass along knowledge and coach young musicians who wish to create their own music, either as a composer, or simply to stimulate their own performance practice.

I have a background of classical, folk, and various popular music styles including heavy metal, rock, pop, etc.

We can work through the development of your works, touching on relevant aspects of music history, and implementing them into your compositional practice.

How do you grow an online income as an artist the fastest way?

Imagine.
Something happens on earth causing you to not being able to play any gigs or shows basically destroying all your income.

Welcome to reality. Since march the world completely changed.
Since then i went to find a way to make things work in this newly created world. Find ways to keep getting my income from music solely via the internet.

How do you build an online income as an artist?
How do you build a loyal online fan base that gives you income without playing gigs, selling merch, without donations?

In this coaching I will be teaching you:

How to effectively reach more than 70 000 up to 150 000 people monthly with your music with a minimal monthly budget.

Finding fans that LOVE your music on auto-pilot. No spamming, barely any active social media presence. Set it & forget it mentality.

How to 10-100x your current listeners AND followers on Spotify in a matter of months.

Secret algorithm tweaks & hacks on how to trigger Spotify’s algorithmic plays like Discover Weekly, Release Radar, Radio & Daily mix consistently every month!

What works and doesn't work in the world of digital music marketing.

Why playlist promotion might hurt your results in the long run.

Most importantly - How to make this all profitable, how to make actual profit on this WITHOUT selling merch/albums/shows,... Of course these things are a nice side effect of good marketing but this is not what my coaching is about.

BONUS 🧨

Once this corona situation ends and there are actual parties again (fingers crossed🤞)... How do you get these newly made fans to come to your party/performance?

The benefit of this style of marketing is that EVERYONE gets tracked and i will show you very easy methods to actually engage your active listeners to attend your event. No matter if that's an actual physical party or a livestream. This course will show you how to effectively communicate with all those fans you’ve made over the last months and get them to attend your shows!

I have a list of artists that I coached outside of Apprentus available, with proof of results and testimonials if wanted!

Not entirely sure how much time will be needed to explain everything as this differ per person but i would go for at least 2 hours.

If anything seems vague or unclear please ask away! I just started out coaching this after testing with multiple artists so still working on the coaching part of things :)

Hello! I am a violin and piano student at the arts college in Brussels! I have played the violin all my life and would like to teach. The violin is certainly one of the most difficult instruments, which is why it is important to take private lessons, especially in the first few years. This is how you progress the fastest!

This class is for people who are passionate about the saxophone and are interested in learning how to play it or level up his/her current skills. Also this class will help you with improving your ear and melodical thinking.

If you are a complete beginner and afraid of the fact that it won’t work - no stress, I give you a guarantee that you will play your first song after a 5th lesson!

If you have some experience already and want to take a step further - I’m looking forward to guide you through the whole journey of new musical experiences.

I’m having a personal approach to each of my students, so you can be sure the lessons are not going to be boring! I find it very inspiring when the student hears him/her making a difference every lesson.

My name is Juul, I was born in 2006, and I'd love to teach and share my craft with people my age who want to start drumming! No music theory required; enthusiasm is enough! We'll learn the basics and, later, how to learn to play drums with music. The goal of the lesson is primarily to teach you good, proper technique and, above all, to have you enjoy drumming, just like I do! I'm happy to share my love for drumming!

I will help you become a better producer, but also a better musician. I can take you through some foundational music theory, sound design, help you use any plugin to your advantage.

I can also help you complete your tracks, give some creative ideas and give a different approach to what you do.

I mainly make Drum n Bass, Ambient, a little bit of Dubstep but I am capable of helping you with any genre you like.
