Music theory + piano lessons for beginners and advanced students - all age levels

A partir de 49.89 $ /h

Have you always wanted not just to play notes, but to truly understand music?
Music is not mechanical training.
It is thinking, feeling, structuring, imagining, and being free at the same time.

I am a musicologist, composer, pianist, organist, and harpsichordist with two academic degrees (Composition & Musicology), more than 10 years of teaching experience, and an active international concert career across Europe. My students study at prestigious music academies, perform on European stages, and develop artistic identity and confidence.
I combine academic precision with creative freedom and a supportive atmosphere.

Each student receives an individual learning plan. I adapt my method depending on age, level, and goals — whether it is:
- first musical steps at 4–6 years old
- hobby lessons for adults
- serious professional preparation
- exam or competition preparation

Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and even neuroaesthetics research, I help students:
- understand how music works
- develop musical thinking
- improve memory and artistic expression
- build a technical foundation without tension
- gain confidence in performance

Send me a message — and we will create your personal musical path.

Music is not only about playing.
It is about discovering yourself through sound.

Professional saxophonist eager to teach and work to bring out the best version of yourself!

The lessons are intended for all levels, children or adults.
We follow a working method where you will continuously and deeply develop your musicality, way of playing, expressiveness and technique.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

Raúl is a Spanish saxophonist who finished his DIDACTIC MASTER in 2018 at the École Supérieure des Arts in Mons. Previously, he also completed a MASTER OF INTERPRETATION at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (2015-2017) in the class of Alain Crepin and Simon Diricq.
He studied at the "Musikene" (Higher Conservatory of Music of the Basque Country) with Eric Devallon, Tomás Jérez, Antonio Felipe Belijar and Miguel Ángel Lorente.

Passionate about multidisciplinary artistic creation, he thinks of the mixing of all the arts in the same show as an aesthetic goal. This type of research could be observed in his project for his final master's recital in Brussels where he created a project based on Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of human needs where he mixed live, recorded music, dance, light shows and effects under the name: “according to Maslow... ”

In terms of his career as a concert artist, he has played in different ensembles (solo performances, duo, trio, quartet, orchestra...) and different countries such as Japan (Artisanal Musical Fair "Suono Italia" 2010), Belgium (Festival Musiq3 2016), Artonov Festival at BOZAR in 2016...), France (Dax chamber music festival 2011) or Spain (Music Festival “Quincena Musical” 2015, Aste Nagusia 2015, Heineken Jazzaldia 2014, Festival Kutxa 2015, Intercentros Melómano 2010).

During my training, I had the opportunity to study with famous teachers with whom I was able to discover different violin techniques and different pedagogical approaches, which allowed me to create my own methodology. If Italy gave me the passion of sharing and communication (a typical Italian characteristic), Belgium taught me to convey a message, an idea in a concrete way. My meeting with Mr Lawson also made me aware of the importance in the life of an artist to share his knowledge, and teaching is for me the best way to put this sharing into practice.

Concernant le contenu du cours je le module en fonction de vos attentes et objectifs.

Je lie systématiquement le travail concret de l'instrument ( Classique, Variété ou Jazz ) avec un apprentissage minimal des éléments de base de la pratique musicale en général : théorie de la musique, formation de l'oreille intérieure, développement de la sensibilité harmonique, mélodique et rythmique, solfège etc... Je peux volontiers aborder tout cela plus profondément à la demande de l'élève, c'est passionnant aussi vous verrez !

La première rencontre sera l'occasion de discuter de tout cela, afin de mettre en place un cadre adopté à votre profil (Jeune enfant débutant, adolescent confirmé, adulte en reprise ou autres...)

Je considère que l'essentiel est de trouver un bon équilibre entre les exigences de rigueur inévitables pour progresser dans l'apprentissage du piano et le plaisir immédiat de jouer de la musique, qu'on est en droit d'attendre d'un si bel instrument !

Un fois trouvé, la joie et la bonne humeur sont garanties !

Graduated in cello in Barcelona, finishing my master in historical cello at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Passionate cellist with a lot of experience in performance and education. I specialize in historically informed music, so I try to understand the context around each music I play, so we enter into a dialogue between current events and the era in which the music was created. In my classes we will learn the basic technique of the cello but also we will look together for what we want to express with the music we make, and techniques more adapted to the era.

I have had extensive experience as a soloist on stages and in concerts, as well as experience as a teacher for children and adults with very good results.
The teaching method involves different learning processes in the student;

- recognition of notes on the keyboard
- correct positioning of hands and fingers
- learning to read sheet music
- learning works and resources to interpret them
- basic musical, melodic and rhythmic theory.

Giovanna raised and formed in Florence, where she began her guitar studies at the age of five at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole. In September, she graduated cum laude and she's currently enrolled in the Master’s program at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, studying with Antigoni Goni.

Winner of many international competitions, she performed plenty of times in Italy and in 2023 she has held a solo concert in Milan for the XXXVIII Società Umanitaria's concerts season. Next to renowned guitarists, such as Luigi Attademo and Giorgio Albiani, she performed the world premiere of Álvaro Company’s Concert Català for ten guitars, in the revision by Vincenzo Saldarelli.

Alongside her performing activity, Giovanna has developed a strong dedication to teaching adults, children, and teenagers. She tailors each learning path to the individual student, carefully balancing personal interests with technical and artistic development, whether for amateur musicians or students preparing for conservatory admission. Her teaching approach places particular emphasis on physical awareness and well-being, guiding students toward healthy and efficient use of the body while playing. Music theory is fully integrated into her lessons and is always connected to practical application on the instrument.

My own quest with the instrument inevitably led me to want to help future musicians enjoy music and, at the same time, to develop myself as a violinist and as a person through teaching.

My method focuses on making the student feel comfortable with the instrument and finding their own way to express themselves through their body!

A violinist since childhood, I long viewed music theory as a constraint before discovering its magic. Today, music theory has become a true passion for me, one that I have enthusiastically shared since I was 16.

My goal? To help students reconnect with music theory so they can fully flourish on their instrument. Whether starting from scratch or needing intensive review before an exam, I adapt my teaching methods to make concepts clear and engaging. Together, we'll transform notes on paper into music!
