Piano and improvisation lessons (also without note knowledge)

From 42 € /h

I've been playing the piano since I was 10. But at the music academy I learned piano in a very scholastic way. We always had to learn scores, which you spend a lot of time on, and once you could do it perfectly, you already had to switch to another piece. I got tired of this and started improvising. I now make my own songs and I prefer to play the piano more than ever before. I would like to share this with other people as well. I do this in combination with solfège, so that everyone has the basics. The lessons consist of 70-80% solfège and piano pieces (I work with piano books) and then we conclude with 20-30% improvisation. Improvisation is experienced by all my students as the most enjoyable part of the lesson.

About Me

I am a 23 year old psychology student. I have been playing the piano since I was ten. I always had to learn songs from music sheets at the music academy, which has reduced my motivation to play the piano. You practice for a long time and once you can play it perfectly, you have to immediately switch to another sheet and repeat the whole process.
That's why I started improvising, and now I play my own songs. I would like to share this knowledge with others. I can give piano lessons to people who already have piano knowledge (but would also like to learn to improvise) and to beginners. If desired, I can also give basic music theory to beginners.

Education

I have studied music and piano at the musicacademy of Geel since I was ten. I learned classical piano pieces and also played together with a partner so that we sat at the piano with 2, and in the last year of my education, there was a new option to choose (it was called 'begeleidingspraktijk', I don't know how to translate that) and I did it for a year and there I learned a lot for my improvisations.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been playing the piano for 11 years, and have also had music theory, so I can also teach music theory too if desired. Of those 11 years, I have been fully concentrated on improvisation for the last 3 years.

Piano Classes and Solfège (no prior knowledge required)

42 € /h

My ultimate goal is to let people enjoy playing the piano. In my classes, the focus is less on the competitive side of piano, but it is rather about the music we can create together. After going to the music academy with a rather strict, school-like approach, I prefer to make my classes instructive, but without comprising the joy of playing piano.

I learned to play the piano with the books of Folk Dean, so I will use them in my classes too. These books are for beginners, people who don't know anything about piano at all. Most of the student I have now are beginners. I will teach amongst other things how you play with the right posture, how to read notes, how to create musicality... I will give you a solid basis for a pianist. I will also teach you the solfège that you need to know. There's no prior knowledge required for this class.

Ever since I was little, I was passionate about music. I have been playing the piano for 10 years and have given several concerts.

Those who want to learn the piano, I adapt my course according to your preferences and tastes. If you don't know how to read the notes or you've never done music theory, that doesn't cause a problem. The most important thing in music is to have fun. I can teach you several genres of music such as classical music, jazz, film music, pop...

Classical piano : with a little knowledge of music theory, I teach you the basics of piano, as well as the more advanced pieces.

Chords: No solfège required. I teach you the basics of chords and so you can play full pop songs after a few lessons.

my academic studies include following:

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

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!

Hey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.

For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)

I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.

The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.

See you soon!
Richard

PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student.
It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect.

Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation.
Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best.

As a teacher I am familiar with different styles, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music.
There is also the option to work from improvisations.

The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

Nice to meet you :D

My name is Melvin, and I'm a pianist/composer and music theorist who loves to guide people with a passion for music! In my lessons, I teach three different subjects in which I specialize and perhaps can help you improve your skills as a musician.

If you want to play the piano intuitively, without thinking about it, or interpret scores, then Piano + Improvisation is the course for you! Together, we'll break through the boundaries of traditional sheet music and teach you to unleash your inner musicality. Whether you're a beginning pianist longing to improvise simple melodies or an experienced player looking to explore new expressive paths, I'll inspire and encourage you to broaden your musical horizons.

Have you always wanted to write your own music, but don't know how to get started? Then together we'll push your creative boundaries and help you develop your own musical masterpieces. Whether you're a budding composer taking your first steps or an experienced musician looking for new inspiration, I'm here to guide and inspire you on your unique composition journey.

Need some theory because you don't understand certain elements of music? No worries! Step by step, we'll explore the fundamentals of music theory together, delving into notes, chords, rhythm, and structure. You'll discover how all these elements work together to create masterpieces, or to better understand scores as a musician.

I'm looking forward to meeting you :D

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.
