Percussion Instruction, Piano Class, and Sight Reading

From 53.08 € /h

Learning percussion and any melodic instruments can be a hassle to tackle. I, Juan, am currently majoring in Music at the Jackson State University music department. I will apply the same things I learned in my lessons here and apply them to my own lessons and go into depth on breaking down fundamentals and exercises to better your musicianship. No matter the skill lesson, there will always be a way to grow the knowledge you have on your current instrument. I teach snare drum, both concert and marching styles. I teach piano at an intermediate to advanced level as well. As well as snare drum, I also play 4-mallet percussion along with playing timpani.

Extra information

Have staff paper and access to internet. If possible, drumsticks and drum pad. Mobile piano if needed.

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 offer individual lessons in voice and piano for children, teenagers, and adults of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced learners.
My teaching approach is flexible and student-centered. Some students want to prepare a specific classical piece, others prefer modern or popular songs, while some simply wish to reconnect with music after years away. I adapt lessons to your goals and create a supportive atmosphere where learning is both effective and enjoyable.
With over 8 years of teaching experience and a diverse international education — from Kyiv music academies to the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart — I bring both depth and variety to my teaching. I have worked as a piano and voice teacher in private art schools in Ukraine as well as in music schools in Germany, guiding more than 200 students of different ages and levels.

✨ Hello!

I am a concert pianist and piano teacher, and I am glad to welcome you to my studio!

🎹 The Studio

• Over 10 years of experience with children and adults
• Advanced methodologies of Russian, Israeli, and US schools
• A pleasant location, a concert grand piano
• An individual approach, a comfortable atmosphere

🤝 Services

All services include the development of aural skills (ear training), all types of piano technique (including from scratch), musical notation, sight-reading, fundamentals of music theory, and solfeggio.

🙋 Lessons for adults

You can start learning music at any age! It is scientifically proven that all musical skills can be developed. I understand how difficult it can be to start something from scratch in adulthood, which is why during lessons I pay special attention to the absence of criticism and pressure.

Learning through your favorite music across various genres (pop, rock, classical, jazz, boogie-woogie, music from games and movies), at a comfortable pace, playing the instrument.

If you have studied music before, it is possible to restore your skills.

🧒 Lessons for children

Harmonious personal development through music. This includes maintaining and developing an interest in playing, the ability to express one's own emotions and hear others' through sound, emotional intelligence, imaginative and artistic thinking, and much more.

Lessons usually take place in a playful format. I teach children with learning differences.

🧑‍💼 Lessons for professionals

Admission to professional music educational institutions for piano: children's music school (ДМШ), college, university (including ABRSM and others). Preparation for concerts and performances. Also covering collaborative piano and ensemble disciplines.

Detailed work on sound production, all types of piano technique, composers' styles and genre characteristics, as well as the ability to perform a piece on stage.

💻 Working online

Thanks to detailed demonstrations and explanations using a professional microphone (photo in profile; captures the grand piano sound perfectly), multiple webcams (for showing different angles), as well as special software (Zoom with special settings, and for interested students, Sonobus for lossless audio), the exact same result is achieved as in face-to-face lessons!

📝 My approach

All work is structured individually, taking into account the age of the client and their wishes. This includes the choice of lesson format, the nature of material presentation, musical pieces, genres, pace of learning, depth of immersion in the material, etc. Learn on the music that you like!

I understand the importance of supporting the student's interest and developing their motivation. In this regard, the lessons feature a comfortable psychological atmosphere of respect, without pressure, in which the student can relax and be themselves without fearing judgment from the teacher.

I actively apply psychoanalytic methods and insights. As well as supplementary materials, such as poetry, works of painting, and sculpture to enrich the student's understanding of music.

🧔 About me

I have been working with children and adults for over 10 years. Both with those who playing for personal enjoyment, and with professionals, as well as with children and adults with developmental special needs.

I regularly improve my qualifications as a teacher, and I also perform as a pianist solo or together with singers and ensembles. I am a laureate of the Moscow Piano Competition of Romantic Music (2018).

I have over 8 years of personal psychoanalysis experience, which gives me a deep understanding of the psychological processes during the lesson, and the ability to hear my student better.

Hey there! Do you want to start a new hobby? Do you already play the piano and you want to improve your skills with a creative approach to the instrument? Then I think I can help you!
I can teach you basic and advanced concepts of any style on the piano (classical, jazz, pop-rock...), and if you like improvisation and jazz then we get along even better!
I offer very personalized classes based on your level and interests. My approach to teaching strongly takes the student's CREATIVITY into account, but without forgetting that a good knowledge of MUSIC THEORY and PIANO TECHNIQUE are essential.

About my philosophy in teaching music:
In a creative field like music, education is a delicate matter. I firmly believe that a teacher must do everything possible to avoid suppressing the student’s personal voice. Each of us — regardless of age or skill level — has a unique approach to music, even before touching the instrument!
My goal is to help students discover their own musical identity at the piano, drawing on my experience and offering a solid theoretical foundation tailored to their interests and level.
That said, as in any discipline, there are no shortcuts in music. Passion and dedication are essential to achieving meaningful results. Furthermore, a solid technical and theoretical foundation is indispensable, no matter your musical interests.
I look forward to sharing my deep passion for music with you. Feel free to reach out for more information!

I offer music theory lessons with a fully personalized learning plan, designed according to each student's goals, interests, and needs.

During the lessons, I cover theoretical content combined with practical exercises that support understanding and retention. Theory is not taught as something purely descriptive; instead, I always aim to connect it to the instrument and musical practice, showing how it serves as an essential tool for artistic expression and music-making.

My goal is to make learning meaningful, practical, and inspiring, helping students approach music in a conscious and creative way.

I offer fully online piano lessons in English for teenagers and adults who want thoughtful, structured and serious musical training.

My teaching is rooted in the Russian academic piano tradition, but the lessons are not limited to a narrow repertoire path. We can work with classical pieces or other music that is meaningful to the student — including modern, film, anime or jazz-oriented material — as long as the work remains serious, attentive and musically thoughtful.

In my lessons, technique, reading, coordination, sound, rhythm, phrasing, memory and expression are connected into one clear musical system. The aim is not only to learn pieces, but to understand how music works from inside: how the ear, mind, hands, body and musical intention come together.
I help students develop a deeper relationship with music as a living language — with direction, structure, breathing, sound, emotion and inner logic. The goal is for the student to play not mechanically, but with understanding, freedom, taste and personal expression.

I work best with motivated students: serious teenagers, advanced amateurs, returning adults, and learners preparing demanding repertoire, auditions or international exams, including ABRSM. In every case, the focus is on building a complete musical foundation: technique, sound, understanding, expression and confident independent practice.

I am a concert pianist and piano educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience. I studied at the Moscow Conservatory College and the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, taught at university level, performed internationally and recorded two CDs for Melodiya.

The lessons are structured, precise and demanding, but clear and respectful. My aim is to help each student not only play better, but understand music more deeply and gradually become more independent, intelligent and artistic at the piano.

I offer beginner-friendly lessons that combine music theory and piano, so you don’t just learn how to play, you understand what you’re playing.
These lessons are designed for students starting from zero. We build everything step by step, connecting theory directly to the piano to make learning more natural and effective.
We will cover:
Piano basics (hand position, simple pieces, coordination)
Notes, rhythm, and reading music
Scales and basic chords
Playing simple songs while understanding how they work
My approach is simple: learn, apply, and enjoy the process. I keep lessons interactive and adapted to each student, especially for kids, so progress feels natural instead of overwhelming.

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Let’s start this journey together and build a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime
