Music is a higher revelation then all wisdom and philosophy & is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents // Ludwig van Beethoven. Hello everyone. I am a very passionate and dedicated music educator with over 10 years of experience on the Costa del Sol. We have the option of teaching classes in person at our classroom/studio in Marbella —specially equipped for lessons and with interactive materials and updated educational resources—, as well as traveling to your home along the Costa del Sol, starting from Marbella and going as far as Guadalmina (near Estepona) or Calahonda (near Fuengirola). However you like it or it suits you best ; ) The instruments you can choose to learn are: * CLASSICAL PIANO & MODERN KEYBOARD * GUITAR (ACOUSTIC & ELECTRIC) * LOW * UKULELE * SINGING (INCLUDING MICROPHONE TECHNIQUE) We start from crucial classical foundations and elements of functional harmony, but the style also adapts to the student's musical taste and what they would like to develop musically, whether it be classical pieces from various periods, songs from genres such as Rock, Pop, R&B, Jazz & Blues, Folk, Fusion, as well as music from Movies and Video Games. Here we assess each student's natural strengths and talents to build a personalized repertoire and develop their musical artistry. This, in turn, develops their kinesthetic skills, multiple intelligences, emotional expressiveness and modulation, concentration, self-discipline, and interpersonal skills. The classes are taught in ENGLISH or SPANISH (as the student/client chooses, both at a native/advanced level) with a holistic and comprehensive methodology, developing a balance between the student's innate disposition and their unique preferences in the personalized repertoire we create (whether these are classical instrumental pieces and/or popular contemporary songs, with the added option of singing and playing the instrument in question). We also have essential books and resources on the subject, including classic texts and methods of musical pedagogy from conservatories (Bastien, Alfred, Carcassi, etc.), as well as contemporary methods from modern music schools (Berklee, Hal Leonard, etc.). We also have excellent references from years of teaching experience. Our friends, families, and students have been very happy with our work, and some have even passed exams for conservatories and music schools abroad :)

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.

As a piano teacher, I possess a strong musical ear, extensive piano skills, and a broad knowledge of music and music theory. Thanks to my experience as a music teacher, I can guide students in their musical development in a clear, structured, and inspiring way. I am fluent in sight-reading and can quickly analyze and explain music, which helps me support students efficiently and purposefully during their learning process. In my lessons, I combine technical development with musical understanding and expression. Patience, clear communication, and a positive learning environment are essential to me. Every student is different, which is why I use a personal approach that pays attention to the pace, level, and goals of each student. My strong motivational skills help students gain confidence in their playing and continue to enjoy learning music. An important part of my work as a piano teacher is recognizing my students' strengths and weaknesses. By observing and listening carefully, I can provide targeted advice and adapt exercises so that students develop step by step. I help them improve their technique, deepen their musicality, and strengthen their confidence on the instrument. The primary task in my piano lessons is to motivate students and make them enthusiastic about playing the piano. I want students not only to learn to play, but also to develop a true love for music. Therefore, I pay attention to technical skills as well as musical interpretation and listening skills. During the lessons, I work systematically on the development of hand and finger technique. This is done through targeted exercises such as scales, arpeggios, chord structures, and other technical exercises that help build flexibility, strength, and control in the fingers. Additionally, I guide students in reading sheet music correctly, understanding rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, and musical expression. I also develop and use adapted teaching materials and exercises that match the student's level and progress. By regularly reviewing and adjusting the exercises and techniques, I ensure that students build a solid technical and musical foundation. In addition to learning to play existing pieces, I also focus on understanding music. Therefore, students in my lessons are also introduced to elements of music theory, so that they better understand how music is structured. This helps them practice more independently, learn new music faster, and develop a deeper insight into music. My goal as a piano teacher is to create an inspiring learning environment in which students can develop musically, discover their creativity, and grow step by step as musicians. Playing the piano is not only a technical skill but also an art form through which people can express emotions, ideas, and stories. Therefore, in my lessons, I always try to connect technique, knowledge, and musical experience.
