The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.

Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.

Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.

We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!

(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)

If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.

In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.

I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

You can find here an indicative list of objectives that I propose in my theoretical program, which can of course adapt to your request.

As an experienced music teacher, I offer recorder and music theory lessons for children and adults of all ages and skill levels!

Originally from Brazil, I have been teaching music for several years. A graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, I have extensive experience as a music teacher, having given private lessons and taught in music academies in Belgium and elsewhere. I develop a unique method for each student so that they can learn in a solid and enjoyable way.

The recorder is an easy instrument to learn, making it a great opportunity for children to begin their musical journey. It provides an initial introduction to musical notation and helps develop their ear. I offer students a fun and dynamic learning experience, where music is made from the very first lesson.

For adults... If you're a beginner, don't worry!
I will teach you how to produce the first sounds on your new instrument, how to blow correctly, how to adopt a good posture, etc. I will help you build, step by step, a solid basic technique that will allow you to play any piece on the flute.

If you are an advanced student or already possess a solid foundation in your instrument, I propose working on refining your technique, taking into account each repertoire. We will explore creativity and sound to produce an increasingly beautiful and eloquent musical expression.

Lessons can take place at the student's home or the teacher's home in Forest. Travel expenses are negotiable depending on the distance.

Feel free to contact me to discover this magnificent instrument!

Classical piano, jazz, composition and improvisation lessons and music theory lessons for beginners or more experienced. I adapt to the needs and desires of the student by building with him or her a personal project.

Listening, enthusiastic, structured, I want to transmit my practical and / or theoretical knowledge of piano and music to children and adults by making them evolve.

In my classes I aim to transmit first of all my passion and love for music.
I like to prepare a personalized programme adapted to the level and exigencies of each pupil.
I also aim to include some violin duos, to be played with me during the lessons, as I believe playing with other musicians is one of the best ways to enjoy music and learn useful musical and technical skills at the same time.
Another essential factor in my classes is correct and natural posture while playing, to let music heal our souls instead of hurting our bodies! ;) I have been practicing Yoga for a few years, and have experienced the importance of good posture and targeted light stretching, especially for younger players in a phase of growth and change.
I like to help pupils to develop good technical skills in a fun way, always applying technique to targeted repertoire and keeping in mind that technique is nothing but a means of expressing ourselves through music.

I give lessons in English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Have you always wanted to play the piano, but you tell yourself you are not really “musical,” not talented enough, or that it is too late to start? Or maybe you played a long time ago and would like to come back to it, but you do not feel comfortable, your technique feels shaky, and you lack confidence.

This is very common for adults. Most of the time, what holds people back is not a lack of talent, but a lack of method:

- you do not know what to practise, so you feel like you are not progressing

- coordinating both hands feels complicated at first

- reading music and music theory can feel intimidating

- you tense up easily, and it feels like “it doesn’t sound good”

- you start, you stop, and motivation drops because it feels like too much effort

My role is to make piano clear, accessible, and enjoyable, with a precise plan and simple steps. The goal is for you to be able to sit at the piano and play real music with confidence:

- to enjoy playing at the end of the day

- to play a few pieces for your partner or friends

- to finally learn the music you love

In practice, we move forward with a calm, progressive, and very practical method:

- build solid technique, without tension or stiffness

- improve rhythm and coordination step by step

- learn to read music at a realistic pace, with simple and useful reference points

- work on pieces you enjoy, with arrangements adapted to your level

- set up a short, effective practice routine that fits a busy schedule

You will always know what to practise, how to practise it, and what matters most. Many adults progress faster than they expected, because we focus on what is essential and avoid wasted effort.

I have a Master’s degree from the Royal Conservatory of Liège and I achieved ABRSM Level 8. I have three years of teaching experience, and I adapt each lesson to your goals, your level, and your pace.

If this speaks to you, send me a message with:

- your goal

- your current level

- how much time you can realistically practise each week

- whether you prefer in-person or online lessons

I will tell you the best way to get started :D

Do you want to enjoy and understand an academic music concert? Or do you just want to find out how the music you love is written? Or maybe, are you playing an instrument but would like to read sheet music?
Dare to understand music in different ways, I will adapt to your needs to help you learn how you would like to. No matter age and no prior knowlegde is needed.

Graduated in cello in Barcelona, finishing my master in historical cello at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Passionate cellist with a lot of experience in performance and education. I specialize in historically informed music, so I try to understand the context around each music I play, so we enter into a dialogue between current events and the era in which the music was created. In my classes we will learn the basic technique of the cello but also we will look together for what we want to express with the music we make, and techniques more adapted to the era.

Simona

I take care of my students. I like to think of teachers as, in some way, caregivers. My experience giving flute lessons has taught me that often, problems are created by our own minds, and that it is easy to trick our brains into rebooting us, following the right advice from the right person.

So if you want:

* more self-control;
* know you better;
* understand and quickly resolve your problems in order to progress;

We are the right person for each other.

See you soon,
Simona

Posture and comfort with the instrument are the foundation for playing the guitar. I often make the connection with other musical instruments such as percussion, wind instruments and singing.

Separating and understanding the roles of the two hands is another important step in the course. One hand plays the rhythm and the other plays the notes on the fretboard. There are many exercises to develop the knowledge and skills of both hands.

Let’s personalize your violin classes to fit your own goals!
Whether you would like to refine your technique, enlarge your repertoire or start from the beginning, I will focus on designing the route for your next musical journey.
I am a graduate of the Institut Royal de Musique et de Pédagogie (IMEP) in Belgium, with a violin specialized Master’s degree (2023) and a Pedagogical Master’s degree (2025). With more than 3 years of experience with students from 5 years old to adults.

What do I offer?
- Lessons for all levels and ages, tailored to your musical goals (one lesson lasts 1 hour)
- If desired: feedback & support during the week via WhatsApp (for free)

Method:
I don't use a specific method, but I like to work very specifically on all aspects of piano playing. We'll alternate between skills training and purely musical lessons, where you can apply the acquired skills or techniques to your pieces. This frees up more focus for the most important thing: making beautiful music.

Looking to grow as a guitarist and musician? Whether you’re starting out, or stuck beneath a musical “glass ceiling”, I offer fully personalized lessons mainly for intermediate but also to beginner level guitarists. I will be happy to discuss your or your child's needs and craft a course with you!

If you’re an intermediate player, here’s the steps:

- We’ll find out your level and current blocking points ⚠️
- We’ll carve a path together, targeting your weak spots (do you miss scales? modes? extended chords? arrangement theory? melodic development? and countless more)
- We’ll create material together, based on your ideas or ideas that I will provide you ✏️
- You’ll become an all-around player that can create ideas, express them clearly, and elaborate them tastefully, while improvising in real-time. 🤘

If you’re a beginner player of any age:

- We’ll figure out your vision (what do you listen to, and what would you like to sound like)
- We’ll start with basic but engaging material, so that you reach base musicality as fast as possible. You’d be surprised how creative you can become with a couple of constraints and a bit of engagement!
- We’ll slowly introduce the theory that sits behind your vision, the material, and your playing
- You’ll develop intuition on the instrument and fluid playing in your preferred genre: The world is now your oyster 🤘

I am a professional drummer, composer, and performer based in Brussels, with an active career in jazz, improvised, and creative music across Europe.

Whether your background is rock, pop, world, indie, or anything else, we focus on what serves your music, and on what learning this instrument can become. My goal is not to tell you strictly how things should be done, but to help you find your own way of doing them. To strengthen the musician that already exists inside you, and give you the tools to grow with confidence and independence.

I offer private drum lessons focused on long term development rather than isolated sessions. My work with students is based on regular weekly lessons, helping each drummer build solid technique, musical awareness, sound, and a personal voice in the instrument.

These lessons are for:
- Beginners who want a strong and musical foundation
- Intermediate players who want to improve groove, coordination, and confidence
- Creative musicians interested in improvisation, sound, and advanced rhythmic development.

My approach is practical and human. We work on what you really need, from basic technique and time feel to more advanced topics like independence, phrasing, and creative practice methods.

I mainly work with students who are interested in continuity and real progress through regular lessons.
