Learn how to play or to advance in violin with a professional

Tailoring my teaching approaches to each individual, I am confident in helping each student reach their desired goals with the violin. Whether a student is a complete beginner, or picking up the violin after many years of not playing, or a serious musician, I offer fun, encouraging, and enlightening lessons.

I also teach all styles of music genres - from Baroque/Classical/Romantic, to Folk, to Jazz, to Contemporary, and very happy to teach a broad spectrum of styles, or to focus on just one. I also have a specialism in teaching adults.

Must have their own violin, and be prepared to buy suggested sheet music prior to lessons

Gabriele
Violin and chamber music classes for beginner/intermediate
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.

Violin lessons for children and adults. Fun classes for the little ones.
Hello, I am a violin teacher and violinist. Having taught the violin for 20 years and knowing in depth different instrumental techniques and different teaching methods, I can adapt my teaching to the needs, age and character of each student. In addition, my educational background combined with the unique experience and knowledge given to me by my relatively recent motherhood and my love for children and other human beings, has led me to pursue positive teaching with empathy towards the student who aims to make him happy, to love music and to acquire a solid basis for his overall development! I am also able to teach with the Suzuki method. I teach children from the age of 3 and even adults. I organize concerts for my students at least twice a year. Classes are in French, English and Greek. For more information do not hesitate to write me. Thank you.

Arthur
Learn clarinet and / or music theory at home
Graduated with a Master's degree in clarinet from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, a Didactic Master's degree in clarinet and a didactic master's degree in musical training at the Royal Conservatory of Mons, I propose to give you lessons for all levels of clarinet and/or of musical training. I am available every day and move to your home at your convenience. Depending on the level and age of the students, the duration of my classes vary between 30 minutes, 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes.

Carlos
Clarinet and bass clarinet lessons in Brussels for everyone.
I am a professional clarinetist graduated with distinction at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussels (Master Degree in Clarinet) and holding a Bachelor Diploma from the Music Conservatory of Valencia (Spain). Currently I am studying for a Master's Degree in Bass Clarinet, so we can combine both instruments in my lessons. I teach students of all ages and levels. In my lessons I help the students to find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body use, enabling them to connect with their musical imagination. The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes. On top of playing, I can also offer lessons on harmony, form analysis and counterpoint that focus on understanding the structure of music. My lessons will already include many different aspects of the music being taught but there is the option of focusing the theoretical or the practical. i am looking forward to teaching you music!

Mélina
Private lessons of Violin and Musical Formation.
Violinist from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and the IMEP of Namur, I give violin lessons at all levels, all ages, from 5 years old for children. With several years of experience in teaching the violin, my lessons are for everyone, whatever your desires. I adapt my method according to the wish as well as the age of the student, and starting an instrument as an adult should not be a brake. Graduated in Musicology from La Sorbonne as well as from the ULB, I also offer support courses in Musical Training, History of Music and Analysis. An instrument lesson usually lasts one hour. If necessary, I can cut the time between Violin and Musical Training / History. My rates are 29/hour at my home (Schaerbeek), 35 if I travel.

Esther
Adapted tuition for violin and solfege // Private violin lessons
Violinist graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, I have several years of educational experiences. I propose adapted courses for all levels. I taught at the conservatory, and in music school. The courses are divided into several parts. The first is learning the basics (for beginners), the technique of the violin, then the consolidation of the notions of music theory and finally the discovery of pieces. I work in a fun, but demanding way while listening to students. My methods vary according to the needs of the students. I have been teaching for 10 years. I started many students who are now able to have fun playing all types of repertoire. I also accompany the more advanced levels in their artistic work. My teaching allows students to gain autonomy, while developing their musicality. I am a graduate violinist from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with several years of teaching experience. I offer violin lessons for all levels of learning. Lessons contain several elements. The first one will focus on the basics (for beginners) of violin technic (skills, bowing exercises, tuning ...), some point on notation and musical culture . I want to work in a relaxed way, always attentive to the student's needs. I adapt my methods to each and every person.

Emidio
Saxophone lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians
After having studied in two different conservatories, the Conservatorio G. B. Martini of Bologna and the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, I developed a personal teaching method, in which traditional studies are stirred with more innovative acquisitions.

Sylvain
Cours de flutes, classical, improvisation, world music ...
Graduated in France for a classical training, I offer courses of flutes (from piccolo to octobasse via bass and viola!). The content of the courses will be adapted to the needs of each one. I practice improvisation for quite a few years, the Brazilian music (choro) is one of my specialties. I also play in the French Flutes Orchestra, and I share with pleasure my practices and sound research such as multiphonic, flute and voice, circular breathing, whistle tones and other flatterzung! Music theory will be taught naturally if necessary. I can give classes in French, Portuguese (Brazil), English, Dutch.

Leila
Music theory lessons, musical awakening for young children
Hello ! I offer lessons for young people wishing to discover music. These are musical awareness courses which combine the discovery of music, piano and music theory. In the musical awareness course, we work on the rhythm and notes of the staff.

Chiara
Violon, musique - French, English, Italian, Spanish
In my classes I aim to transmit first of all my passion and love for music. I like to prepare a personalized programme adapted to the level and exigencies of each pupil. I also aim to include some violin duos, to be played with me during the lessons, as I believe playing with other musicians is one of the best ways to enjoy music and learn useful musical and technical skills at the same time. Another essential factor in my classes is correct and natural posture while playing, to let music heal our souls instead of hurting our bodies! ;) I have been practicing Yoga for a few years, and have experienced the importance of good posture and targeted light stretching, especially for younger players in a phase of growth and change. I like to help pupils to develop good technical skills in a fun way, always applying technique to targeted repertoire and keeping in mind that technique is nothing but a means of expressing ourselves through music. I give lessons in English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Alycia
Violin lessons adapted to your desires in Brussels!

Matteo
Offering Music Theory Lessons, alongside Drums class!
My course is based first on you. I like developing with you a program adapted to your facilities, your difficulties as well as your goal. It is aimed at everyone, children and adults, complete beginners and more experienced musicians looking for advice, a method or outside advice. Autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening are the main 4 words for me! I can teach you drums in many styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, linear, world music, songs on demand) and in its many forms AND of course music theory, which can be integrated into the course if necessary, but also be the subject of a private lesson for students who wish support for their courses in an academy or at the Conservatory. This will help you for sure to reading scores, as well as sight reading.
