I started playing piano at the age of 3 and since than music is one of the most important parts of my life. I would like to share my knowledge and joy for music with everyone who is passionate about the world of art. After finishing my Master of Arts at Koninklijk Conservatory of Brussels with prof.

Being highly skilled in sight-reading, I have often realized how valuable and enjoyable it is to possess that “gift.” After more than ten years of teaching students of different levels and aspirations, I have observed a common thread: regardless of their goals, all were eager to improve their ability to read and interpret new, unfamiliar music.

Currently, I am developing a multifaceted approach designed to help students understand a composition at first sight. This method combines specific pattern recognition and structural score-mapping, anchored in a fundamental understanding of rhythm, pitch, and harmony, together with highly effective practice and memorization strategies personalized to each student's needs and technical challenges.

For over ten years, I have been teaching students of all ages and levels. In addition to regular lessons, I offer the opportunities to perform at the yearly class concert as well as dedicated preparation for ABRSM piano examinations.

I'm a pianist with extensive performing experience on international stages and a first-prize winner of more than 30 international piano competitions across Europe and USA. I hold a Master's degree and four Postgraduate degrees (piano and chamber music) from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.

Have a piano in your home that's merely for decoration? Want to learn how to play it? This class is for those folks who have either always wanted to learn how to play piano and read music, or for those experienced players who want to brush up on their skills and discover new repertoire.

I'm a musician from the US working and traveling in Belgium. I was a music instructor for the last three years in the states. I have a ton of experience working with very young beginners as well as middle schoolers and high schoolers.

Experience has taught me that it is very important to build a warm, trusting relationship with students, especially the very young ones. Bringing laughter, a sense of humour, games, and creating imaginative stories with music are my motives throughout the lesson.

The goals and character of each student guides the teaching approach I adopt - some students enjoy learning for the joy of music, whilst others prefer to aim for recognised qualifications or grades. In both cases I aim to make learning enjoyable.

I always encourage all my students, of whatever age or ability, to do some simple improvisation, and have developed several ways to facilitate this. I emphasise developing technique and music theory as they make the foundation of becoming a good musician throughout life.

My teaching method is based on the novelty of methods that will stimulate motivation in the student and guarantee meaningful learning.
I address my lessons to all and all people who want to start with this practice or who already have some basics on the instrument.

Hello :)
I'm a young yet experienced pianist from Poland, I've finished 12 years of Frideric Chopin's Music School there. I have been tutoring since I was 16. As for my teaching style, I care a lot about the basis, so students I have usually have a very stable ability of playing piano.

Also, I'm an English teacher for kids at the moment, so I am very good at communicating with them and I love spending time developing their skills.

I've been collecting note sheets since a little child, so except of the theory, I can suggest some basic, popular songs to learn.

The teacher has been singing for 22 years. She studied Solfeggio and Piano at the Musicole (Uccle) then Singing and Soflège at the Académie de Saint Gilles, in Lyric Singing. She took group singing lessons with several renowned teachers (La Voie Créatif, Frédérique Rochette, Jérôme Porsperger, Corps Chant Voix). The teacher has a piano to work on vocals and piano. The teacher works on the basis of song texts. The student discovers or recognizes the song after choosing between several titles. The teacher adapts to her student's tastes as to the type of music that pleases him, she transmits her knowledge of singing whether for melody, for rhythm, for the placement of the voice and breathing. The teacher encourages the student and is caring. The teacher transmits her taste and passion for music.

The teacher can also provide sheet music for classical or other music songs upon request. The teacher sings in a choir. It is also possible to work on rhythm using a metronome and a djembe, although the teacher is not a djembe specialist.

I provide private one-to-one classical piano lessons for students aged 8 and up – including adults. Lessons are moulded to the ability of each student, whether you are just starting out, intermediate or advanced or even taking the piano back up after a long break, I will make sure your lessons are a suitable pace and level for you. Lessons cover technical exercises, sight reading, theory and aural skills as well as learning pieces.

I have been teaching for over 7 years, with a focus on ABRSM exams. However your lessons do not need to be exam orientated if you would rather just learn for pleasure.

In French :
For almost ten years, my method has strived to move away from those found at the Academy, sometimes considered austere and outdated. In my opinion, the student is the main actor in his learning, and the teacher should be his caring guide. In my opinion, his role is to provide him with appropriate help and support, and not to impose pre-established rules that do not take into account his unique needs.
The image of the harsh and cold teacher should therefore be forgotten with me. My philosophy is always to encourage without imposing.
The student will also have the opportunity to have access to a much broader repertoire than that imposed in classical education. Thus, he will be able to play his favorite music from all walks of life, whether it be themes from songs, plays, films, series or even video games. Of course, I also encourage classical music, as long as the student finds pleasure in it, which remains and will remain the most important for me.
After all, what is music if not the purest and universal essence of our humanity, which brings together and unites our hearts and minds?
In English:
Over a decade of teaching, I have developed a method of teaching piano that differs from the ones found in the academic environment. For me, the student should be at the center of his learning journey. The teacher should be a guide who provides the student with tailor-made help and support, without forcing preexisting rules that don't reflect the unique needs of each student.
No cold, strict or ill-tempered teaching on my watch! My philosophy goes by the following: always encourage, never impose.
The student also has the opportunity to explore a much larger repertoire than the one imposed in classical education. He/She has the freedom to play any music from all backgrounds, including songs, shows, movies, series or even video games. Of course I also encourage classical music, as long as the student enjoys it, which will always be the most important part for me.
After all, what is music, if not the purest and most universal essence of our humanity, the one that connects our hearts and souls?

Bonjour, je suis professeur avec plus de 6 ans d'expérience. Je travaille avec des enfants et des adultes, le plus important est d'avoir l'envie d'apprendre à jouer. Je donne des cours en slovaque, ukrainien, russe ou anglais. De mon expérience, je peux dire que si quelqu'un veut apprendre à jouer d'un instrument, l'âge n'est pas un obstacle, la musique est pour tout le monde.

Hallo, ik ben een lerares met meer dan 6 jaar ervaring. Ik werk met zowel kinderen als volwassenen, het belangrijkste is het verlangen om te leren spelen. Ik geef lessen in het Slowaaks, Oekraïens, Russisch of Engels. Uit mijn ervaring kan ik zeggen dat als iemand wil leren spelen op een instrument, leeftijd geen probleem is, muziek is er voor iedereen.
