About Me

What is most rewarding in teaching is to be able to pass on knowledge to someone keen to learn. I’m quite open and my lessons although focused on bagpipes encompass all aspects of musicality - having a Masters in music I am quite versed in this and know how to break down all the little bits in a way that’s digestible for the beginner, or interesting for a more advanced player.

I like a student who is genuinely interested and is willing to put in some time throughout the week, and shows up at the lesson having made some progress. My job is to help you along your journey.

I have taught as a TA at Acadia University in Canada, lecturing in the music composition class and correcting exams/assignments for the theory class. This was extremely rewarding for me. I was confronted by a variety of skill sets and learning approaches, which I had to adapt more or less to each student.

If you want to test the pipes, give me a shout!

Best,

A.

Guitar and Singing Lessons: For beginners and advanced students, young and old. Everyone receives a personal lesson plan and objectives. You don't need to know any theory. The lessons take place in a pleasant demo room.
At your own pace I will teach you the guitar and its possibilities so that you can quickly play your favorite songs.

If you come and sing, I will quickly lift you to unprecedented heights through my knowledge and years of experience.
I like to coach motivated people who can make time to develop themselves musically. I expect commitment and then things can happen quickly. Several of my students are now tasting some success in the music biz (not that this should be everyone's goal). Partly because of their perseverance, but also because of the training they have received.
I am a music coach and guide you in a pleasant, successful way through an educational period.

If you would like more details or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Musical greetings,

Danny

Classical guitar is one of the most beautiful and versatile instruments out there! You can play music from all styles and from all times. But learning to play the guitar is not something you do alone: you need someone who will guide you personally and help you discover what you can get out of your instrument. So do you dream of starting to make music yourself but don't know where to start? Or have you been playing for some time, but are you looking for a more personal approach in your lessons?
Then you've come to the right place!

I'm Warre and I've been playing classical guitar for over 16 years. A few years ago I decided to go for a life as a professional musician and enrolled at a conservatory. This year I completed my Master of Music at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven. I have been teaching guitar for several years now. I look forward to meeting my students every week. Few things are more fun than watching someone discover music and get so much fun out of it!

No prior musical knowledge is required. If you are a total beginner, we will start from scratch. And it's never too late to get started! Of course, more experienced players are also welcome for lessons that are completely tailored to your needs.

Lessons at my home in the center of Antwerp or online. Current availabilities valid until the end of August.

Hello,

My name is Sander. I am a guitarist and singer with Hippotrakor and L'itch, and I really want to coach/inspire people with the aim of igniting their creative fire. Our lessons will start from your vision of music, and we ask ourselves the question 'Why did you start playing? Then we will reconcile your motivation with the learning process of your instrument.

It's a bit of a different approach than with the classical music teacher, but don't let it put you off. I am trained as a remedial educationalist and teacher and also have six years of experience in the social sector. I can feel very well where your strengths lie and I am convinced that we can shape your trajectory together with those strengths.

I have only mentored one student so far, but I can proudly say that since this year he has released his first own CD, started performing, and has become a real ambient connoisseur.

I am Verena and I have a Master's degree In classical double bass (French Bow), as well as a background in studying Electric Bass.
I can teach the basics and the advanced skills of approaching these Instruments. The key for someone to love studying music is, I believe, the approach to playing in the first place. I consider myself a very kind and patient person with a passion for teaching and knowing new people.
I have always combined classical music with my passion for all stringed Instruments. Here is my passion for the guitar specifically for the acoustic guitar using folk/finger-picking techniques.
Due to the difficulty of having access in the first place to instruments like the double bass, I think it is essential to have the opportunity for a first lesson before deciding to invest In an instrument.

As a passionate professional guitarist I am looking forward to passing this passion on to other people. I will guide you in your journey through the classical guitar, and hope to stimulate your curiosity. I will not only guide you technically but I will also bring you the meaning of the music.

The lessons can be for beginners or advanced. I work with scores and not with tablatures. I do this because classical music is easier to understand that way. So I teach you to read scores and to be able to play them on the guitar. For the advanced we will mainly work on refining the repertoire, technical skills and tone projection.
