Have you always dreamed of learning to play the piano? Or do you finally want to better understand the theory behind the music you can already play? Young, old, novice or advanced, it doesn't matter, everyone is welcome!

My name is Menno and I was trained as a classical pianist at the Lemmens Institute. Throughout my conservatory years I have become obsessed with all things harmony and music theory. Besides my passion for music, I also have a huge love for teaching. Motivating students and watching them grow gives me enormous satisfaction, regardless of the level they are at!

What you can expect during my lessons:
-Learn to play the piano with or without solfege
- Gaining insights into compositions and harmony
- An individual approach at the level of the student
-Play on beautiful professional grand pianos (Bechstein from 1880 or Kawai from 2016)

Wherever you are currently on your musical path, everyone is welcome!
If you are unsure whether this is something for you or if you have any other questions,
don't hesitate to contact me!

About Me
From an early age my whole world revolves around music. What started with playing AC/DC and Metallica on guitar soon evolved, through bands like Muse, to playing Classical music on piano.

I believe that it is never too early or too late to start music. For me, passing on musical knowledge is one of the most satisfying actions there is. That's why I hope to see you soon in my class!

PIANO

Foundation
First we start with the music theory, melody and chords. These are the essential building blocks for making music.

Style
Next we apply stylistic tools to bring the music to life. This could include jazz chords, blues riffs, walking bass lines, and more.

Skills

We learn the skills (soloing, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, lead sheets, analysis...)


Following this approach, you will finally understand the music that you are playing, and you will be able to apply the techniques to hundreds of other songs.


CVT COACHING

Hi! I am Tine, a singer, voice teacher and vocal coach. I am passionate about helping singers to make the most of their singing practice so they can thrive, grow, and become the powerful performers and communicators the world needs today.

I can help you train your voice and keep it healthy, develop your own unique sound, sing across different styles, manage performance anxiety, be authentic on stage, deliver powerful presentations, make more efficient goals and help you reach them.

It is possible to create all the sounds from all the styles / genres in a healthy way!

CVT METHOD?

Singing is not that difficult and everybody can learn to sing. CVT divideds the singing techniques into four main subjects. By combining elements of these four subjects, you can produce precisely the sounds you want. You will also be able to pinpoint your specific problems and mistakes, and you can focus on which techniques you wish to work on.

The four main subjects are:

The three overall principles – to ensure healthy sound production
The four vocal modes – to choose the ‘gear’ you want to sing in.
Sound colours – to make the sound lighter or darker.
Effects – to achieve specific sound effects.

In the lesson, the focus is on technique, speed, reading skills, coordination, all different styles, and what the student wants to play.
If you are struggling with speed or if you are just starting to play, good technique is very important. Moreover, a badly learned technique is difficult to unlearn later.
I can also help you with the purchase of new equipment.
The lessons take place at the student's home.

Have you always wanted to learn how to play the piano or want to understand more about how music works? Then I invite you to take lessons with me!

Whether you have never touched a piano before or already have some experience, together we will find the perfect teaching method for you. Beginners will start from the basics, while advanced pianists can build on their existing skills. Reading music is certainly not a requirement, but if you can, that is a nice bonus! Together we will determine what you want to learn or play, so that we can work specifically on your musical goals. Everything is possible!

Who am I? My name is Staf, and my passion for piano started in the sixth grade, in 2005. After my studies at PXL Music, I successfully completed my training as a pianist. In addition, I have been teaching music in secondary education for several years. Now I would like to share that experience and knowledge with others. In addition to piano lessons, I also provide support in music production with Logic X, so if you have any questions about producing music, you have come to the right place.

The lessons take place in Malderen, Londerzeel.

For questions or more information, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm looking forward to making music together!

Hey,
My name is Jasper and besides guitar lessons I also give private lessons in solfège!

For me it is important that you can develop your music knowledge in a motivating private lesson where the focus is on your interests.

In these lessons we can go through all the principles of music theory, from learning to read your first notes to chord theory to scales and beyond.
The lessons are for students of all ages and all levels.

I myself studied at the conservatory in Rotterdam and in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 10 years of experience as a private teacher.

Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
We can determine the exact time of the lesson together. All very flexible.

Does this seem like something for you?
Don't hesitate to send me a message.

Hope to see you soon!

Learning how to play the piano is a goal you can reach only by frequent exercising.
Considering the fact that many pupils and grownups don't have much time to practise, my piano lessons are split in learning new information and also practising together.

I can easily teach in the Merchtem and Leuven region.
On my profile you can find more information about myself and how I work in the lessons.

Lessons for all ages. Harp, piano, music theory.

I graduated from the KMC Gent and have a career/experience of more than 40 years.
I also followed yoga, mindfulness and kinesiology courses.
The combination of playing an instrument with mindfulness opens up many possibilities.

During the lessons for harp or piano you learn the necessary technique, and musicality is taken into account.
The better the technical skill, the more fluidly the musicality can unfold.
No previous knowledge of ear training is required for the instrument. Gradually you learn to read the notes.

For those who wish, I give AMV (General Musical Education)
Here you practice extra on reading, rhythm, general & specific hearing exercises, and theoretical knowledge.

Those who are going to higher music studies and experience a gap in music theory can come to me for specific training. I also guide students for solfège who are taking their entrance exam for KMC and also during their student trajectory. Here is more explanation.

The lessons are individual and adapted to each student.

For toddlers aged 4 to 6 who are learning to play the piano, I follow a method based on a musical fairy tale.
It is a method that meets the child's world of experience.
They discover the possibilities of the instrument and the way of writing songs. Step by step they learn to play and sing songs on the piano.

For harp I can advise to start at 6 years. Fingers at 4 years are still too tender to pluck strings. 6 years is a better age to start harp playing. They play on a small instrument that is appropriate for their age.

For children who start from the age of 7, I use a different method book for piano and the child's world of experience is also taken into account.

For children who start playing the harp at that age, the method book is also aimed at the child.

The method books are therefore tailored to the age and capabilities of the child, teenagers and adults.

For students at the college who are going to study music professionally, the subject 'music theory' is included in the curriculum. In case of shortcomings in music theory, the specific needs are updated.
Both theory, lecture in G and F clef, performance of rhythm in all time signatures, rhythm dictation, intonation training, intonation dictation, recognition of intervals melodic and harmonic, rhythmic-melodic dictation can be updated to make up for deficiencies.

I can guide students in music as a hobby, as well as in music professionally.

I am Natalia, a piano musician and music writer.
I compose my own music pieces on the piano, music tracks in different genres including, for example, film scores, pop songs and classical music.

I make and play music for anything that requires music. Movies, TV shows, plays, commercials, songs.

Here you will be informed about the offers for performances and composing and also about the piano lessons...

Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it?
Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you?
Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills?
Do you need reinforcement lessons?
Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory?
Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions?
...
These are the private cello lessons you were looking for!

My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent.
I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher.

Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

You will learn to read guitar tab together with music theory as the mirror method, 'so that you can easily play pop, rock, jazz, or metal songs from tablature notation, or from chord diagrams in a super fun simplified way, everything explained step by step' also the basic music theory that keeps you motivated to play guitar'
verified badge
Whether you are starting to create your own beats or struggling to write a song, I will help you reach the next level you personally need. With a solid base of music education, I can help you express yourself through your music.

I can get very technical if you need to, but I will also help you navigate the creative process and arrive to a place that works for you.

Have you heard about the mother tongue method?
Children learn to speak their language through listening, imitation, and constant, loving encouragement. Why should we do things differently with music?

Together, we'll discover the piano in a natural and playful way. By listening, repeating, and growing step by step, we'll build a strong musical foundation. All of this in a loving environment with plenty of attention to creativity and artistic sensitivity.

As a parent, you actively participate in the lesson. After all, you become your little pianist's coach for the rest of the week!
