Hi,

I'm Ally. I’m a guitarist, producer, and music teacher with 23 years of professional experience and over a decade spent in the classroom. I’ve mentored over 500 students of all ages and levels, helping them find their own voice on the instrument.

What really drives my teaching is a simple goal: I want to develop independent musicians who eventually don't need me at all. I know how frustrating it is to feel "stuck" or unsure of how to actually get better. That’s why my lessons are relaxed and supportive, but always practical every session comes with a clear, structured practice plan so you are improving between our meetings, not just during them.

Whether we are working on technical development, fretboard visualization, or professional songwriting, I tailor everything to your pace and what actually matters to you.

Modern Guitar Foundations: From First Chords to Independent Playing

52 € /h

Hi, I'm Ally. I don't just teach people how to play songs; I develop independent musicians who truly understand their instrument. With over 20 years of professional experience and a decade as a senior teacher, I’ve helped hundreds of beginners move past the "stuck" phase.

In this class, we move at your pace in a relaxed, supportive environment. You’ll learn technical development and fretboard visualization through a structured, outcome-driven approach. Every lesson comes with a clear, custom-engineered practice plan so you know exactly what to do between sessions. My goal is to give you the tools you need so that eventually, you won't need a teacher at all.

I am Natalia, a pianist, composer, and music teacher. Music plays a central role in my life and forms the basis of everything I do: playing, creating, and teaching.

At the piano, I constantly discover and develop new musical ideas. Composing music is a natural way for me to express feelings, atmosphere, and stories. Sometimes a composition originates from a small motif or a simple melody that slowly develops into a complete piece of music. My inspiration comes from various sources: life, emotions, nature, films, stories, and moments of silence in which music can arise spontaneously.

My music moves between various styles, with a strong emphasis on melody, atmosphere, and emotion. The foundation often lies in the piano sound, but the musical language I use can contain classical influences as well as modern, cinematic, or popular elements. I love music that evokes images and tells a story, as if the listener can feel a scene or a world simply by listening.

In addition to composing, I also share my musical experience as a music teacher. In my piano lessons, I want to teach students not only how to play notes, but also how to understand, interpret, and experience music. For me, learning music is a process in which technique, listening, creativity, and expression come together. Therefore, in my lessons, I pay attention to musicality, interpretation, and developing a personal musical voice.

My experience as a composer also influences my teaching style. I help students not only to perform music, but also to understand how music is structured and how a melody, harmony, or rhythm is created. In this way, they not only learn to play the piano but also develop deeper musical insight and creativity.

To me, music is a living art form that is constantly growing. As a pianist, composer, and teacher, I want to continue creating, sharing, and passing on music to

I write and play music for a variety of projects where powerful and meaningful music is needed. For example:

• films and short films
• television programs and documentaries
• theatre and stage productions
• commercials and advertising campaigns
• original songs and musical projects
• live piano music for events and special occasions

As mentioned earlier, in addition to composing and performing, I also share my passion for music with others through piano lessons. In my lessons, I guide students—from beginners to advanced—not only to learn to play the piano, but also to truly understand, feel, and create music.

For me, music is more than sounds – it is a way to tell stories, share emotions, and connect people.

Welcome to my musical world.

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.

Giovanna raised and formed in Florence, where she began her guitar studies at the age of five at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole. In September, she graduated cum laude and she's currently enrolled in the Master’s program at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, studying with Antigoni Goni.

Winner of many international competitions, she performed plenty of times in Italy and in 2023 she has held a solo concert in Milan for the XXXVIII Società Umanitaria's concerts season. Next to renowned guitarists, such as Luigi Attademo and Giorgio Albiani, she performed the world premiere of Álvaro Company’s Concert Català for ten guitars, in the revision by Vincenzo Saldarelli.

Alongside her performing activity, Giovanna has developed a strong dedication to teaching adults, children, and teenagers. She tailors each learning path to the individual student, carefully balancing personal interests with technical and artistic development, whether for amateur musicians or students preparing for conservatory admission. Her teaching approach places particular emphasis on physical awareness and well-being, guiding students toward healthy and efficient use of the body while playing. Music theory is fully integrated into her lessons and is always connected to practical application on the instrument.

Guitar course open to all levels, from beginners to advanced students.

The course covers classical and electric guitar, as well as pop guitar and composition, offering comprehensive training tailored to the student's interests.

Initially, a level assessment will be conducted to identify technical skills, musical knowledge, and prior experience. Based on this assessment, and taking into account the student's goals, objectives, and musical tastes, a personalized methodology will be designed, focused on technical, musical, and creative development.

The course's approach seeks to balance technique, interpretation, musical understanding, and personal expression, allowing the student to progress in a solid and conscious manner, regardless of the style they wish to explore further.

I am a conservatory-educated guitar teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience who has recently moved to Brussels. I teach students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced players. I am fluent in English, Dutch, and French, and have extensive experience teaching both one-to-one lessons and classroom settings.

I have a long track record of preparing students for graded examinations such as ABRSM and Trinity, with students regularly achieving merit or distinction. At the same time, lessons can also be tailored to students who simply want to learn for enjoyment or personal development.

My teaching covers a wide range of styles including classical, pop, jazz, and rock. I aim to teach music holistically, incorporating not only technique and repertoire but also music theory, music history, and the broader understanding of how music works. Lessons are tailored to each student, and practice plans are adapted to suit individual goals and interests while still ensuring that the fundamental skills of musicianship are developed.

Lessons take place in a fully equipped teaching studio in Woluwe (Brussels), with amplifiers and instruments available during lessons. I offer flexible scheduling, and lessons can be held either in person or online.

Lesson lengths of 30, 45, or 60 minutes are available.

I am a DJ instructor and I teach mixing both digitally and on vinyl. My course starts from the basics: we will learn how to use equipment such as the CDJ-2000 Nexus, the Xone 92 and the Technics 1200 MK2 turntables.

We'll cover how to select your music, where to find it (platforms, sources), how to organize it effectively, and how to use Rekordbox. We'll also cover the basics of mixing, beatmatching, and understanding musical tonalities to better grasp the structure and energy of tracks.

You will learn how to build a coherent mix, create your own podcast, and choose music according to the mood, the moment, and the audience.

We will also talk about the reality of DJing in the evening: what to check before getting behind the decks, the essential points to know, as well as tips and tricks for mixing in front of an audience, whether in a club or any other type of event.

I'll also share my personal experience as a DJ: I started from scratch, created my own events, mixed alongside international artists, and played in various clubs abroad. We'll cover everything you need to know about bookings: fees, what to ask for, and how to operate as a DJ, especially internationally.

We will also cover the creation of a technical rider, an artist press kit, important information to pass on to promoters, as well as everything related to promoting an artist.

I'm a 32-year-old DJ and I've been mixing since I was 18. I've progressed through all the stages: from starting out in my basement for friends, to birthday parties, to becoming a resident DJ at a club with international DJs. I've organized my own events, DJed abroad, and I've also worked as a club promoter, which has given me a deep understanding of the promotional side of things and the criteria for selecting DJs.

Today, I continue to DJ all over Belgium.

Finally, the course can be given in French, Dutch, English and possibly Spanish.
