Preparation for Music School, College & Academy Entrance Exams

Van 46 € /h

Are you preparing for entrance exams and want not just to pass — but to feel confident and fully prepared?

Professional preparation is not mechanical drilling.
It is structured thinking, deep understanding, artistic maturity, and inner confidence.

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 strong artistic identity and independence.

I combine academic precision with a strategic, supportive, and result-oriented approach.

Each student receives an individual preparation plan based on:
- the specific requirements of your chosen institution
- your current level
- your strengths and growth areas
- realistic timelines and goals

Preparation may include:
- Music Theory & Harmony
- Ear Training & Solfeggio
- Polyphony & Musical Analysis
- Composition & Improvisation
- Instrumental repertoire (piano/organ/harpsichord)
- Mock exams and structured feedback

Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and research-based understanding of musical cognition, I help students:
- understand complex material clearly and logically
- structure of written and verbal answers
- strengthen analytical and creative thinking
- build technical security without tension
- develop performance confidence under pressure

Entrance exams are not only about knowledge.
They are about readiness: intellectual, technical, and psychological.

Send me a message, and we will design your strategic path toward successful admission.

Because entering a music academy is not only about passing an exam.
It is about stepping into your professional future with clarity and strength.

Music Theory & Harmony lessons for beginners and advanced students - all age levels

41 € /h

Have you always wanted not just to play notes, but to truly understand how music works?

Music theory is not dry rules or 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 steps in music theory (4–6 years old, playful format)
- support lessons for instrumental students
- harmony and polyphony for composers
- preparation for entrance exams, competitions, or conservatory studies

Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and neuroaesthetics research, I help students:
- understand harmony, form, and musical structure
- think analytically and creatively at the same time
- connect theory with real repertoire
- develop inner hearing and musical memory
- gain confidence in exams and performances

Send me a message — and we will build your personal path into the logic and beauty of music.

Music theory is not only about rules.
It is about discovering the architecture of sound — and discovering yourself through it.

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! ^_^

Since I was 4 years old, piano has taken a big place in my life and heart, because my father has taught me ever since.
I am extremely excited to share my passion with interested people, whatever their age!
I pay a lot of attention to the position at the piano, so that no injuries occur. I also talk a lot about musical lines and how to produce a good sound on the piano. If you have not taken solfège, I am very happy to help with that as well along with the piano study.
Playing the piano is very personal for everyone, both technically and musically. That is why I think it is very important to look for the best solutions and adapt to each individual student, so that he or she can create his or her own bond with music.
I am currently finishing my Masters with Jan Vermeulen at Luca School of Arts, Leuven.

Hi! (English version below)

As a Bachelor's student in Jazz - Piano at the LUCA School Of Arts, Campus Lemmens, I would like to teach you how the fingers navigate on the keys or to propel you forward if you are already an experienced pianist.

In our lessons you have the choice to learn classical music, popular music, jazz, improvisation, solfège and (advanced) music theory. This is based on the level and needs of the students.

Lessons are individually and carefully adapted to the student’s age, level, and desired outcome.
From the youngest students, to whom the music and playing the basics are served playfully based on making the music an important part of their development to advanced students with whom we can refine all the musical details and prepare for professional careers.

Are you a beginner who has started to learn guitar on his own, and can't see the trees for the wood anymore? Or do you already have some experience and want to learn something new? Then you've come to the right place!

About myself:
I have been playing both guitar and bass guitar for 8 years. I also have a solid foundation in music theory. I took lessons with Kristof Neyens (rock school leuven) for several years, and now I would like to share my experience.

Classes:
Depending on your preference, we can draw up a lesson plan together with individual assignments. I also try to work as much as possible with the genres that you like to listen to yourself, this is of course more motivating (after all, you don't want to try to teach Mozart to a Metal fan ;))

My approach is certainly not like that of the 'music theory' at the academy. From your first lesson you will immediately start playing songs. I only use music theory if it is really necessary or if you would like to delve into it.

Practical:
I follow distance education so I can actually go at any time of the week, online lessons are also a possibility.

If you contact me and tell me which times suit you, we can certainly find a fixed time together!

Hey!

Would you like to learn to play that one track (or several tracks) from Coldplay, John Legend, Elton John, .. on the piano, but you don't know where to start?

Or would you like to learn how to produce, mix and master with Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Garageband, Logic Pro X, .. to create your own tracks?

Or would you like to learn how a synthesizer works and how you can make sounds with it?

I can help you! I've been playing piano for about 15 years now after studying Pop & Jazz, and I've performed in a variety of genres. I also have a diploma in Electronic Music Production from Point Blank Music School, and I'm currently working as a keyboardist and producer for the pop group. I primarily play pop music, but we can certainly explore other genres as well.

For piano lessons, I recommend 30 minutes so we can cover new topics each lesson, which you can then practice at home. For producing/mixing, 60 minutes is more suitable if you want to master it faster, but you can certainly learn it in 30 minutes per lesson.

Interested? Feel free to contact me, and we'll schedule a time. I offer lessons both at home in Haacht and on-site in the Leuven area (or online).

I'm a professional pianist playing piano for already 20 years.

I'm the Third prize winner of the European International piano competition in Italy, and
my academic studies include following:

- Master in Piano Performance in Leuven, Belgium
- Master in Piano Performance at the International University of Valencia, Spain
-Bachelor in Piano Performance at the Higher Conservatory in Salamanca, Spain and Musikhochschule Freiburg, Germany

I have studied with some of the leading concert pianists known internationally, including Dmitri Bashkirov, Joop Celis and Eldar Nebolsin.

I have given concerts in several concert halls in Spain, Belgium, Portugal and Germany.

I would be glad to help you improve in your playing! The music styles which I teach are classical music and pop music.

The most important thing for me when I teach, is to make the student feel comfortable and enjoy when playing, while improving musically and technically. I can also show you some specific exercises to improve your technique.

I can teach you in English, Spanish, Dutch or German.

Piano lessons for absolute beginners as well as advanced students. Can be done at home or at the teacher's home.
Together we will look for your goal and current level on the piano. The lessons can be scheduled flexibly per week depending on the availability of the students.

Hey! Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano but aren't sure where to start? Or maybe you just want to take your piano playing to the next level? In either case, you can come to me for piano and theory lessons tailored to your needs! Are you a fan of pop/jazz music rather than classical? We can easily take care of this too! As a young student, I am often closer to the practice of teaching and can sense where the student's goals lie.
Very flexible throughout the week and weekends, either at the student's home, at my grand piano, or possibly online (especially music theory).
