Experience / Qualifications

Press cuts:

Mike Thulke, European culture projects "Maria, the angel with the harp. Beautiful and wild, possessing a divine talent. Together with her ensemble, she presents a potpourri of jazz, classic and chansons. Jazzy, poetic songs with Maria's voice that get under your skin. Concert harp, song, saxophone, and percussion combine into a pure sound sensation which simultaneously surprises and fascinates. "

Le Soir, Bruxelles “Maria lets the lyrics resound on the strings of her harp, this sensual and majestic instrument. This gifted harpist strikes up a pure and powerful singing that seems to catch the light like a living crystal.”
Lokua Kanza, Paris " Maria is the only harpist I know with an African feeling.
Pforzheimer Zeitung "Dancing with harp."
Baden-Baden Tagblatt "Whirlwind brushes the instrument of kings the "wrong" way- passionate, sensible, vigorous, she leads a new dimension to the harp. Each moment of her progressive playing is a pleasure for one's ears and, last but not least, for the eyes. "

Reviews (2)

I had my first harp lesson via zoom, Maria is a good teacher when she has to teach her horns remotely. I thought I could have a Life course, but with this difficult coronavirus situation, we accept what is. So. A big thank you to Maria for this wonderful time spent with her.

Laryssa
Vocal technique course / vocal coaching / technical singing
The course is intended for anyone seriously interested in the functioning of the voice and its application in singing (support, power, vocal stability, timbre, etc.). Inspired by the EVT (Estill Voice Training) method, a system that explains how the voice works and uses it to rehabilitate vocal disorders, strengthen public speakers and support high-level performers, my goal is to make the student more aware of their vocal instrument and more comfortable in their sound emission and singing. We will begin by exploring the source of sound: our body. We will cover breathing and warm-up exercises, and focus on various sound emission techniques to improve voice quality and control.

Julie

Flavio
Apprendre et améliorer votre technique de Chant dans le style Pop et Jazz
EN Singer, songwriter, and vocal coach with over 10 years of experience in jazz and contemporary music genres such as pop, soul, RnB, and rock. I graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels under David Linx and the Conservatory S.Cecilia of Rome under Maria Pia de Vito, specializing in jazz singing. Currently, I teach jazz singing at the Watermael-Boitsfort Academy in Brussels, having previously instructed ensemble singing at the academies of Marchienne-au-Pont and Evere. Additionally, I hold a Master's in music pedagogy and certification in Estill Vocal Training, a globally recognized voice method which I regularly incorporate into my teachings. My pedagogical approach emphasizes the development of body awareness and physical memory to nurture each individual's artistic uniqueness. For students aspiring to audition for academies, conservatories, or television shows like The Voice, I offer a tailored program designed to meet these specific goals

Lou
Music theory lessons for all levels and all ages
Help with learning music theory Reading notes in all keys Playing rhythms and polyrhythms singing Strengthening listening skills (knowing how to determine tonality, determining chords when listening, etc.) Tailor-made courses for each student according to their needs.

Prosper
Saxophone, jazz and improvisation lessons, harmony, music theory, solfege
I suggest you improve your saxophone and music practice by focusing on learning melody by ear and developing improvisation. As for instrumental technique, I can teach you how to place your fingers properly to develop your virtuosity, to have a tonic air column and a good embouchure to develop your sound and to work on articulation to improve your phrasing. All this is acquired little by little by playing specific exercises and solos, pieces or saxophone studies. Through learning the instrument I also suggest you develop your musical qualities which are essential to progress and have fun playing. By learning and memorizing melodies or solos by ear, you develop your ear, your sense of rhythm and your memory. Free improvisation allows you to develop your inner singing and your musical personality. Finally, working with a metronome or directly on recordings will help you improve your rhythmic ear. All this is aimed at allowing the greatest possible freedom with one's instrument as well as the development of a personal aesthetic. I started learning the saxophone at the conservatory 7 years ago. I started with jazz then curiosity pushed me to study classical saxophone for 3 years before specializing in tenor and jazz. I had many saxophone teachers (Eric Barret, Pascal Gaubert, Sylvain Rifflet, Sylvain Cathala...) and today I have a bachelor's degree at the Royal Conservatory with Fabrice Alleman and Manu Hermia. I have played the saxophone in many different contexts, often in jazz in small groups or in a Big Band, in classical solo or in a quartet and also with pop groups on stage or in the studio. I have always loved passing on what I have learned, so I have been teaching beginners/amateurs for 4 years, always with the aim of developing the pleasure of playing and regularity of practice.

Jonas
Jazz Saxophone & Applied Chord Theory - Personalized Classes (NL ; ENG)
I focus on giving saxophone lessons to people with a solid or basic foundation who wants to improve or start improvising. This course is especially for those who feel stagnant in improving their music skills. I will actively analyse your areas for improvement and provide personal guidance and methods. I am very aware that each person thinks differently while improvising: personal exercises are given, depending on your needs. Applied music theory lessons are a support of this class. I integrate chord theory into practical saxophone lessons, making a key connection between ear and theory. I started playing classical saxophone, and I am currently a Jazz saxophone student at the conservatory of Brussels. Switching to Jazz made me analyse my own behaviour in improvising, which I find a crucial step in development. Feel free to reach out! I am also happy to give lessons to complete beginners or children as well.

I see music as a way for people to connect with their own creativity and open themselves to their inner voice, their true self and their unique path. I am looking forward to sharing with you the joy of learning and letting your inner artist sing, wherever you might be on your artistic path. If you need advice on contemporary pieces for your final jury, if you are looking for ways to refresh your repertoire or to give a new direction to your practice, I will be happy to help! I love to guide you through the classics of modern repertoire, to teach my tricks to creative interpretation or free improvisation.
