SONGS generally consist of chord and text lines. But where does that information come from and how do you make something out of nothing? How do you make that one great hIT or how strongly does your new song affect your love? Well, that's called "inspiration processing" and how does that work? Well, I'll tell you that in my course.
If you already play the guitar or piano, you are one step ahead. Your instrument is like a trampoline that offers you more options to go further and higher.
Most 'songs' are born at the craziest moments. A good songwriter his / her antennas are always open :-) and for some it is a continuous activity.
During my course I teach you through all sorts of tips and tricks (including: Travel Chord Duo Method - One Four Five and minor input - Key Word Designation and Relative Chord Progressions etc.) how you can achieve strong songs.
For me it is a daily activity and I have been writing all my life for others and sometimes for myself. All in all I have sold more than a million copies worldwide as an author / composer / performer. Is that little or is that a lot? I do not know. It doesn't interest me that much anymore.
I want to share my knowledge about how to write a song with motivated people who want to go further than just replaying others' songs. Whether they get stuck somewhere during composing and who are not afraid to seek advice.
Music is a life flirt. There are only two types of music: good and bad ...
Do you have a foundation of chords, do you want to know how to make a good song .....? Just book an hour to get started. That is the scan hour. Are we lying together and is there a click? If you book and I confirm, then you also know who I am and where I hide :-) Not satisfied after the first 'lesson'?
Money Back.

About Me
I am naturally a patient man who takes his time for everyone. My passion was, is and remains music. Apart from that, during my life career I also participated in the commercial world, but music always called me back. My Taylor acoustic guitar is my dearest possession.
Education
I have an A2 / A6 Trade / Language diploma and followed a Private Marketing course afterwards. In terms of music: since childhood education singing by mother (singer) - guitar lessons ever from people who are no longer on this planet. I learned a lot from Marty Townsend (American with a list of achievements to tell you) that I worked with for many years. Fortunately that man is still alive but he is currently back in California. I did a lot of gigs, did a lot of studio work and in the meantime wrote a load of songs. Songwriting comes with the years, there is no real school for it.
Experience / Qualifications
I have been playing guitar for more than 40 years but am still a young foal when I am allowed to make music. My mother was a celebrated singer (years back) and she has been playing music with me since childhood. I have sung with many groups and played guitar and sometimes also successful. Especially during the nineties I wrote songs for several artists and again some songs were successful. I am a partner at Sabam and I know the music scene through and through. May also be interesting for you - as a future 'apprentice'.
Over the years I have also worked as a Sales / Marketing / Publishing Manager and in recent years I have enriched myself with new information about promo and distribution of music.
Since a while I write back for the really big guys and I am hopefully waiting for the productions at the moment.
I have been teaching for about 10 years (a late calling) and so far with great pleasure. I like to meet new people and am socially oriented. Some of my students have already made it into the scene. It does not have to be your ambition to stand in the Sportpaleis. It is important that you get enough information and science during the course and especially that you enjoy it. Music is Fun.

I love students who make time for (their) music. If you are motivated enough, you need to realize that it does not end with 1 hour of learning. You really have to practice further on your own at home. I evaluate every progress and give you the necessary exercises so that you progress quickly. Whether you take things fast or less quickly, that does not matter. That is the advantage of private lessons. I adapt to you ...
If you do not own a guitar yet, I will also help you further, that is included in the service.

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

Are you looking for a passionate singing teacher? Search no further!

With over 15 years of singing experience and a completed bachelor's, master's, and postgraduate degrees in classical singing and opera, I could be your ideal choice! I've already gained experience in professional concerts and opera productions in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands!

In addition to classical music, I am also no stranger to light/pop music, so you can certainly always enjoy that! My lessons are aimed at a positive and supportive learning environment. Together we explore the basic principles and solve challenges in a relaxed and attentive atmosphere.

Whether you are a beginner or want to refine your singing talents, I am happy to help you achieve your vocal goals.

Don't hesitate to contact me! I hope to see you soon!

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :)

For whom?
- Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing.
- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).
- Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge.
- Anyone who is curious about the language behind music.

What can you expect?
- Clear explanation, at your own pace.
- Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano.
- Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart.
- Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...).

About me
I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

Possible topics:
- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form theory and analysis (classical or pop).
- Rhythm, time signatures & tempo.
- Music theory for producers/songwriters.
- Songwriting.
- Preparation for exams or entrance tests.

Practical
- 1-on-1 lessons, online or live (if you don't live too far away).
- I provide materials, or we work with what you need.
- No prior knowledge required. Lessons adapted to your level.

🎶 Feel free to send me a message with your questions or goals. We'll see how I can best help you.

Hello, my name is Alyssa.
I am a professional singer with over 18 years of experience as the lead vocalist of Postmen.

I have performed on many stages and worked in numerous studio sessions, and music has been part of my life from a very young age. I started singing in church and later in a gospel choir, where I developed a strong foundation in feeling, expression and musicality.

For me, singing has always been something natural and that is exactly what I want to help others discover in themselves. I am passionate about guiding people in finding their own voice. Not just technically, but emotionally and creatively. Many people think singing is only about hitting the right notes, but I believe it’s about connection, confidence and allowing yourself to be heard.

My lessons are always tailored to your level, your goals and your personality. Whether you are just starting out or already have experience, I create a safe and supportive space where you can grow.

We will work on:
Vocal technique and breath control
Confidence and letting go while singing
Finding your unique sound and style
Musical interpretation: understanding what a song needs
Ad-libs, dynamics, falsetto and vocal expression
Stage presence and performance mindset
Voice care and healthy singing habits

My lessons are for:
Beginners who want to start singing in a relaxed way
Intermediate singers who want more control and confidence
Advanced singers or artists who want to refine their sound
Anyone who feels there is “more” in their voice but doesn’t know how to reach it

My coaching style is personal, intuitive and encouraging. I don’t believe in forcing a voice into a certain style.
I want to help you discover what is already inside you and bring that out.
I work with both adults and younger students and I adapt my teaching depending on what you need: structure, creativity, technique or confidence.
I'm looking forward to meeting you!

You can bring your own songs or work on suggested material Suitable for different styles (with a focus on soul, pop & expressive singing) Lessons available for hobby singers and more serious artists Available online or in person (if applicable)
