Classical guitar lessons for beginner, intermediate, or advanced players

I am passionate about teaching guitar! Over the last 10 years I have been teaching students from ages 7-70 from complete beginners to advanced players with one thing in common - their wish to play guitar more comfortably and have fun while doing it!

I am a classical guitarist with a background in pedagogy, psychology and physiotherapy, my approach - methodical.
While working on the things you want to improve and learn I will also help you develop a deep understanding of the theory and principles that music is built upon. Our lessons will be exploratory and imaginative whilst also underpinned by technical knowledge so that you can enjoy playing comfortably and without pain.

My aim is to get you to where you want to be playing guitar, whether that be for friends at New Year or on the stage at Carnegie Hall!

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching for 10 years now and have had the pleasure of working with over 100 students aged 6 to 96! After completing my performance degree I have taken two pedagogical diplomas which have really helped me to create my own didactic methods, from beginner guitarist through to professional performer looking to drill their technique or explore different working and musical methods.

good teacher
Rosie was very kind and patience,, I really learned from her
Started guitar lessons today. Started quietly with the basics: what do I do with my hands/fingers so that they don't get tangled. Clearly and clearly explained with the necessary explanation (why this way, why this way). Rosie explains everything quickly and clearly in English. We agreed that way because I can speak English well and it goes more smoothly for her than Dutch.
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
The lessons with Rosie are very effective and productive. She quickly spotted the issues that needed to be worked on and suggested how to improve. Highly recommended!
Rosie is a good teacher, and organises topics well. During the lesson I did not feel difficult to improvise, neither in her conversation nor mine.

Giuseppe
Piano, solfege, composition in Brussels and Leuven.
I give piano and music theory/ music writing (composition) classes in regions Brussels and Leuven. I have studied in Italy (piano) and at Brussels Conservatoire (music writing). I like sharing my artistic knowledge and experience with motivated students of all ages and varied backgrounds. In my teaching method I try to focus on the strong points and qualities of the student in order to build up technical skills which will help the student to overcome difficulties in a simple and natural way. It is crucial for me to make the student able to express their personality in an autonomous and creative way.

Yaiza
Guitar Lessons. All levels. Classes available in Spanish and English.
Hello! My name is Yaiza and I am a guitar teacher and student of LUCA (School of arts) in Leuven. I am here to help you to learn how to play the guitar. It doesn't matter what is your level, if you are a beginner or if you have been playing for a while. We will work together with tablature and pentagrams, as you prefer! We will use your favourite songs, fun exercises, listen to music, and other methods to enjoy learning. I really love to teach and every person has something special to show through music. So I'll be happy to accompany you on this road! Feel free to contact me if you have any question!

Luís

With a focus on beginners and intermediate levels, I'm dedicated to help students from all ages discover the passion for music through the violin and viola. Each lesson I offer is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of every student. Whether you're looking to improve your technical skills, refine your posture, overcome specific challenges, or just learn a small piece, I'm here to guide you on your musical journey. I understand that every student has their own pace and learning style, and I'm committed to create a supportive, calm and fun environment that encourages growth. Feel free to contact me if you have any question. Let’s share our passion for music! :D

Catarina
Piano and Music Theory lessons for students of all levels and ages
Graduated in Music - Having studied piano (classical) at the University of Évora (Portugal), Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (Germany) and at the Aquiles Delle Vigne International Music Academy. She is currently studying a Masters in Performance at LUCA School of Arts, Leuven, Belgium. I have a lot of experience in teaching piano and music theory in different musical styles and theoretical/musical training from children to adults, in official conservatories, music schools and private lessons, In my classes I try to share my musical knowledge, both practically and theoretically. The courses are aimed at those who want to have more direct contact with music, whether for the first time or not. I take great pleasure in teaching and I give great importance to each student. I like to choose repertoire that matches both student's musical tastes and technical work in need. I always try to encourage students and provide quality teaching. In musical training courses, I help students at conservatories/academies and teach classes to students without any theoretical basis. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Customized piano lessons: physically or online. [Children, teens and adults]
Piano lessons adapted to your taste and level. You tell us what you expect from the lessons so that I can give you optimal piano lessons. For example: you want to learn to read and play piano pieces. I must also give you the relevant theory. It is your choice to study additional theory, but it is not necessary. My lessons are therefore efficiently oriented. As a student, you can ultimately choose which piano pieces we work on (it must first be approved by me), so that playing the piano remains fun and educational. I cover classical music, pop music, video games, movies, anime music, etc... so many genres! Another example: you want to make a piano cover of an existing piece (e.g. pop music or movie music). I will give you the theory of chords and reading staves. This way you can get started quickly. Together we will practice enough so that you understand everything well! We can also improvise together on your piano. Feel free to message us if you have any questions :) I have already given private lessons to adults, teenagers and children both online and in person. Both options work great! We do this online via Skype or another app if desired. Physically we do it in Leuven city centre, where there is a handy large indoor bicycle shed. Ideally I teach once a week, you then continue practicing on your piano at home towards the next lesson the following week. If you would like lessons every other week or lessons twice a week, that is also possible for me. Why choose to learn to play the piano? It has been scientifically proven that playing an instrument makes someone smarter (good brain training). You can show your piano skills to others, but you can also make yourself happy and reward through your piano. I've heard from my friends that they regret not learning to play an instrument, hopefully you won't be like them... You only Live one time! What are you waiting for? I hope to see you then! ^_^

Guitar lessons, self-paced (with music theory and basic singing if required)
Have you always wanted to play guitar or had the musical curiosity to develop your skills on a 6-string? Or maybe you’d like your children to learn an instrument? Learning guitar is a great way to further explore your own capabilities and to develop a deeper enjoyment and understanding of music. Music is, also, a very powerful tool for emotional self-regulation. I have years of experience performing for live audiences with local bands in different countries (Mexico, USA, Germany, Belgium), from rock, metal, blues, indie, pop, and even folk. I always adapt my lessons to the student’s intuition and to what the student wants to achieve (from learning their favorite songs to particular techniques). To enjoy and have fun playing is always very central to my lessons. You can also add basic music theory, and some singing techniques to broaden your musical experience (only the basic singing lessons would represent an extra cost). Let’s awaken the dormant artist in you!

Diamond
Singing Classes in English for all ages and genres
Voice Lessons will focus on five major areas of study: register balance, breathing, range building, body posture, and repertoire. During your lessons you will learn exercises designed to balance the registers of chest, middle and head voice. These exercises and the knowledge of music theory will help you accomplish any music goal you set for yourself.

Margo
