Présentation

Hi, I’m Pian — a pianist, jazz composer, and music educator based in Maastricht. Music has always been my way of telling stories, and I love blending jazz with influences from R&B, pop, classical, and Oriental folk traditions. What inspires me most is helping others discover their own musical voice and confidence at the piano.

My journey started with classical piano — in 2011 I won the Golden Award at the Singapore International Culture and Art Festival and studied Classical Piano Performance & Art Management at XingHai Conservatory. A few years later, after a life-changing John Scofield concert, I fell in love with jazz and moved to the Netherlands, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Piano Performance at Maastricht Conservatorium. I recently completed my Master’s in Specialized Composition and Performance there, studying with Jesse Passenier, Wolfgang Braun, and Aaron Parks.

As a performer, I lead my own jazz quartet Micro Oxygen, play in creative cross-genre projects, and create shows like The Dream Dealer, which combines live jazz and painting. In the past, I’ve also worked as a ballet pianist at ADE Company, and since 2024 I’ve been the choir leader and conductor of Ut Koer in Heerlen.

Teaching, though, has always been close to my heart. I’ve been giving lessons since 2012 to students of all ages — from complete beginners to advanced players — in private lessons, music academies, and international schools. Right now, I teach jazz piano at UWC Maastricht and piano at SCHUNCK, as well as privately. My lessons are a mix of structure and creativity: I want students to have a solid technical foundation, but also the freedom to explore, improvise, and enjoy the music they love. Whether you’re into jazz, pop, classical, film music, or your own compositions, I’ll guide you at your own pace and make learning both inspiring and fun.

This course is intended for beginners wishing to learn the piano, whether they are children or adults.
Trained at the Gretry Academy, I offer adapted piano lessons using different learning methods, including scores and theory (music theory).

For complete beginners, it can be above all a musical awakening (notions, hand coordination, theory, ...)
I have a THOMANN digital piano at home which is available to learners.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, classes will begin in mid-September.

My course is aimed at amateur and professional pianists wishing to deepen their technique in terms of improvisation, understanding of harmony and accompaniment; I also offer "coaching" sessions in the context of assistance with creation (composition, interpretation etc.), I insist on the fact that it is not essential to have an in-depth knowledge of music theory!
As long as the motivation and desire are there, the rest will follow!
Looking forward to meeting you!

I give lessons of 1 hour, at home if necessary, for students of all levels and styles of play. My teaching covers both classical music and modern flute (jazz, etc.); the work done can focus on music of the student's choice, or I can simply redirect it to methods and scores if he wishes to work on them together. The idea is to progress, but above all to have fun, the two go hand in hand.

I give lessons in Liège.

Private piano and music lessons for all ages and levels. More than 10 years of teaching experience. The focus can be on playing the piano, but we can also take a more theoretical path. Basic knowledge of music theory and learning to read music is always given in combination with piano.

I will explain to you or your child clearly and specifically how and what you should be able to/know to make some music for your free time. we will immediately start learning to play songs, chords and, if you think it is necessary, also learn to read some music.

"The piano is an instrument that makes so many people dream! If only the brake of theory did not exist"

in the course of conversations, I have often heard this sentence which puts me off. I am Thomas, a pianist student at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Liège where I am finishing my course. I started music far from Theory and solfège classes, by a method of my own, on which I worked quite a bit, in order to offer it to my students (I come from France where I had been teaching for 6 years alongside my studies).

I proceed as follows: we first work on the ability to listen, and then we deduce the technical and/or theoretical concepts. music comes first and foremost through the spoken word!

trained in classical, I have won international competitions, and have stage experience that allowed me to test my method!

Any level welcome in this class. Learning songs is the beginning of the adventure, learning to play music with freedom is the lifelong journey. Improvisation does not mean we forget about technique! So, learn some saxophone, some jazz skills, and music theory in a tried-and-tested way developed over my many years of teaching.

I am as passionate about improvisation as the saxophone itself, the two go together beautifully.

I am Julia, a professional saxophonist originally from Montreal, Canada. I live in the Netherlands for 4 years and have a Master's degree in Music. I compose, engineer and perform music. I also love to teach, I have experiences with ages 9 to 90. The main idea of my teaching philosophy is to get the sound in your head out into the air. "Guided Fearless Music-Making" is my motto!

Hello! I’m Eleni, a singer from Greece with nearly seven years of experience teaching music. Whether you're a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or more experienced wanting to refine your skills, all lessons are tailored to each student's needs and goals, with the aim of building confidence and authenticity in their singing and/or develop a strong foundation on musical knowledge.

For the singing lessons, we'll be covering breathing and vocal technique, interpretation along with expression and, depending on your goals, the approach we will have can be either focued on singing or holistic; including music theory, rhythmic skills and basic piano skills.

Lessons are available in various styles, so whatever your musical passion, we can bring it to life together!
And, having a background in jazz music, I can also help you develop your improvisation skills, giving you the freedom to explore and create your own sound!

Music theory, rhythmic lessons and basic piano skills are, of course, also offered as separate courses. So if you have no idea on how to read music or you are feeling clumsy when it comes to rhythm or piano, there's no problem! We can work on this together from scratch! :)

1° Apprentissage du piano:

Ma méthodologie est adaptée selon l’élève et ses objectifs musicaux.

De par mon expérience et mes années d'études à l'académie de musique, j'aime travailler avec des manuels de piano tout en proposant, en parallèle, des outils techniques et personnels qui permettront à l’élève d’évoluer. Selon moi, quel que soit l'objectif, il est important d'acquérir une base technique afin d'avoir une certaine aisance de lecture musicale (différenciation des articulations: legato/staccato, souplesse et fluidité du mouvement du poignet lors de la pratique d'une gamme, compréhension des nuances indiquées sur une partition : piano/mezzo forte/forte). Tous ces aspects enrichiront la manière de jouer une pièce musicale, peu importe son genre ou son époque.

L’objectif du cours est d'apprendre tout en s'amusant et surtout, sans stress !

2° Apprentissage du solfège (formation musicale):

Ma méthodologie est également adaptée selon l'élève et ses objectifs musicaux.

Etant professeure de formation musicale depuis l'an passé, mon but est de permettre à l'élève d'évoluer à son rythme afin qu'il soit progressivement autonome.

Le cours s'articule autour de différents paramètres tels que :

1) L' audition : écouter une série de notes ou de rythmes et être capable de les retranscrire, de les écrire. Comprendre et visualiser le mouvement général d'un son (est-ce que mon oreille perçoit que le son monte, descend ou reste le même?). Percevoir la différence entre un accord Majeur ou mineur (quels sont mes ressentis?).

2) La lecture de rythmes et de notes : savoir reconnaitre les rythmes en les disant, en les frappant et surtout, en les ressentant. Savoir reconnaitre les notes et donc, leur emplacement sur la portée en les lisant.

3) La théorie musicale: comprendre un rythme de manière théorique (ses composantes), la formation d'une gamme avec ses tons et demi-tons, les intervalles (l'espace qu'il y a entre deux notes), les modes (Majeur et mineur), les accords, etc.

4) L'aspect sensoriel : ressentir un rythme en le vivant, en l'expérimentant au sein d'une chanson, en marchant ou en frappant la pulsation.

5) Le chant / les lectures chantées : être capable de reproduire un échauffement vocal (en partant ensuite de différentes notes). Entendre que la note chantée est identique à celle qui est donnée au piano ou transmise vocalement. Développer la formation de l'oreille par le chant. Savoir chanter une lecture comprenant les notes et les rythmes travaillés.

L'objectif du cours est d'apprendre et d'évoluer sans aucun stress en travaillant un maximum de paramètres ! La convivialité et la bienveillance sont deux qualités auxquelles je porte le plus d'attention.

Les cours de piano et de solfège ont une durée d'une heure. Cela permet de varier les activités (ou les pièces pour l'instrument).

Playing the piano is a skill and an art. In the lessons we will learn the thechnical skills needed for playing and we will find out what resonates with you musically and the genres you like. As a graduate from the conservatory i can teach all sorts of levels (From Beginner To advanced).
Years of experience in teaching people of all ages have brought me to be able to adjust to different methods and students!

As a professional violinist trained at the Frédéric Chopin College in Moscow, I was fortunate to also receive piano instruction there from exceptional teachers who passed on to me their passion for music and pedagogy.
Today, I offer piano lessons for beginners, suitable for both children and adults. My lessons are based on a comprehensive approach: technique, note reading, music theory, ear training, and accompaniment.
I tailor each lesson to the student's pace, desires, and level, in a motivating atmosphere. My goal is to help you progress while discovering the joy of playing and understanding music.
