Master Ed gives tailor-made individual music lessons in a relaxed atmosphere. This can be done in his workspace in Antwerp or at your home if you live within a radius of 2 km from Antwerp Central Station.

All levels and all ages are welcome, including absolute beginners!

Master Ed is structured, but flexible: he personally guides you in your style (from rock to classical to improvisation) with the approach that suits you best. You don't have to come to class every week, or even on the same day.

Hello!

My name is Beatriz. I am a Spanish cellist and I have just finished my Master's Studies at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Would you like to learn to play the cello? Do you want to improve your technique?
Do you love music and you want to enjoy it as an amateur? It's time to prepare for auditions.
The lessons are adapted depending on your level and your goals. I love teaching and I have 10 years of experience teaching children and adults.

Feel free to ask for more info. Let's do some music together!

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

I can give lessons to players who already have some foundation and would like to improve or learn new techniques. I prefer a relaxed teaching approach tailored to the player's individual interests. I play metal, rock, blues, and some classical and flamenco.

I can help you learn your favorite licks, and solos and explain theory if interested.
We can go over the techniques:

• Alternate picking
• Economy picking
• Legato
• Sweep picking
• tapping
• vibrato & bending

There is no strict structure. Lessons are flexible and can be arranged on an ad-hoc basis.

Hey!

I graduated as a master in music pedagogy at the Lemmens Institute. I have been playing the flute for 18 years and I am still active as a musician. Although I am no longer a teacher, I would like to pass on this passion.

- Would you like to start with the flute?
- Have you played the flute in the past and would you like to play more often?
- Need extra help practicing a piece of music?
- Can you use extra help with reading notes?
- Would you like to refresh your knowledge of music theory (including scales)?
- ...

I have taught piano for 4 years and I see it as the means to bring my experience with music directly to students. Therefore, my primary goal as a teacher is to make this experience enjoyable, enriching, and challenging.

My lessons are organized depending on the level, needs, and objectives of the student. We can work on classic repertoire, pop, and movie soundtracks, or improvise. I love to share my passion for music with my students.

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

I have been playing the piano for around 6 years. Since it is not my main instrument, I have had to find ways of learning it on my own already as an adult. Therefore, I have developed my own method to understand how the instrument works, which works especially well with beginners.
I truly love the piano and I love seeing how passionate my students get when they learn how to make music with this instrument. If you want to get started with the piano or the songs you're playing are becoming a bit harder, I am the teacher you're looking for!

I believe that learning piano should be both fun and enriching.

Welcome to your ney class! The ney, a traditional Turkish reed flute, is one of the oldest musical instruments in history. With its soft, soulful sounds, the ney holds an important place in Turkish and Islamic culture, especially in Sufi music. This enchanting instrument is not only a medium for music, but also a bridge to spiritual expression.

The ney is closely associated with the teachings of Rumi (Mevlana), the great Persian poet and Sufi mystic of the 13th century. Rumi often used the ney as a metaphor for the human soul. He compared the hollow body of the ney to a human being longing for reunion with his divine origins, producing melodies of longing and love.

In this course you will not only learn the technical skills to play the ney, but you will also discover its profound spiritual and cultural significance. Let the journey begin!

Ney derslerinize hoş geldiniz! Ney, geleneksel bir Türk kamış flutü olup tarihin und eski müzik enstrümanlarından biridir. Yumuşak ve duygulu sesi, özellikle tasavvuf müziğinde, Türk ve İslam kültüründe derin bir yere sahiptir. Bu yüleyici enstrüman, sadece bir müzik aracı değil, aynı zamanda ruhsal bir ifade yoludur.

Ney, 13. yüzyılın büyük Pers şairi ve tasavvuf düşünürü Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi'nin (Mevlana) öğretileriyle yakından ilişkilidir. Mevlana, neyi insan ruhuna bir metafor olarak kullanmıştır. Onun boş gövdesini, ilahi kaynağıyla kavuşmayı özleyen bir insan olarak görmüş ve bu özlemin melodilerini neyin sesiyle anlatmıştır.

Bu derste, neyi çalmayı öğrenirken aynı zamanda onunder derin manevi ve kültürel anlamını da keşfedeceksiniz. Haydi, yolculuk başlasın!

For percussion, I cover rhythm training, ensemble playing, and instrument technique; for piano, we explore scales, chords, and repertoire; for theory, I provide a strong foundation in harmony, reading, and analysis.
